Through the days, there were other sights to see, and here is a small compilation of where we went in the early part of our trip to Xi'an.

SHAANXI NORMAL UNIVERSITY WOMEN CULTURE MUSEUM



Examples of women's secret language, hidden within a fan to pass messages.






There were dozens of local cultural costumes on display, modeled by mannequins.



This blanket had the details of an affair sewn into it, but because of the secret language, the husband never knew.

SHAANXI NORMAL UNIVERSITY MARXIST CENTER


We stood with the Vice Dean and Victor. Picture by unknown.

RESTAURANT IN THE INTERNATIONAL BUILDING (aka the "Tetris" Building; see first set of pictures)


A glass elevator with designs in the glass give the transmission tower seemingly appropriate cartoon emanations.

Along with opera and traditional music, the meal came with a marionette love story.
