My Chinese history isn't too good enough but getting to Xian is a very good retrospective lesson of something we have been told before. There were indeed so many historical things in Chang On. That's also the starting point of the Silk Road. Because of that it aroused the West to come to see why there was such a big kingdom in the East. The "Road" attracted more than visitors - invaders. So if we take this history lesson well, we shouldn't emit too many signals to the extraterrestrial Universe. Or the other way round, when the other civilisation knows about human being being too intrusive or being too self-conceited about their intelligence and technology, that would bring a potential end to the entire human being. That's actually not the so-called "End of the World". It's just an extinction of a tiny race in the whole Universe.
Photo 3 is the figure of the renowned Monk Tang (唐三藏) and inside the Pagoda Dai Yan (on the right behind him) there is a temple holding the historical things about him.
Your trip photos here are very good Chinese history class and geography class for me thank you Professor Sea.
ReplyDeletePapa John in Xian sounds like "Back to the Future".
It's such a pleasant surprise to me I found Papa John in Xian, but not any other places of China.
ReplyDeleteIf they do well in Xian, I think they will go to other places soon.
ReplyDeleteI heard from some of my other business associates. They claimed that when they started a business in some places, it's hard to leave, e.g. in a SE Asian country, they would impose some charge or levy or asking back for some benefit given if the business is pulled out.
ReplyDeleteHar really, so only "in" no "out" like the black society,
ReplyDeleteThey would speak it nicely that it's not fair for the others who don't leave, and that you are breaking the laws for making those others unfair and also an anti-trust issue. This "anti-trust" means "you don't trust them", not against the big trust fund companies.
ReplyDeleteThey are really good talkers I am speechless.
ReplyDeleteSalute.
Yes, just one time because there wouldn't be many 3 pigs stories. Once got bitten, never going into the grassland.
ReplyDeleteOne time for each victim is good enough for them already.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder China gets financially strong so fast.
Sorry "that county" wasn't meant to be China as I said "SE Asian country". I believe Papa John is still not yet in that SE Asian country.
