Just a photo!

Since it's still too hot to even be in this room, I'll just do the usual random photo thingy and only talk about it if it's interesting:

Gosh, yes, that is so very interesting.  If it wasn't all so very humid in this room, I'd have told you all about it. And yes, I will do a story on it, only not right now ...

... but the short version is that the moment in HK they've got a fabulous exhibition of stuff that was found in the grave of Emperor Qin-Shi and for those folks who haven't already made the connection, we're talking about The Terracotta Warriors!

Yup, given the timing, it may be a very subtle attempt at Patriot Education but I don't care.  This exhibition is entirely fabulous and amazing and very beautiful.

And see that photo there?  If you stand in a certain spot in the lobby, on the nearby big screen you can see a winsy small terracotta warrior ride in on his chariot and race over to attack your leg with his sword.  It's interactive too, so whatever you do to it, the winsy little man responds. It was so amazing and so much fun watching all these little kiddies kung-fu kicking the little fellow ... and that was only on one of the three screens.  I got attacked by a heron myself on one of the other screens.

You know, the Pompeii Exhibit that was in HK only a few years ago won international awards for being the best exhibition EVER ... and I have to tell you that, having now been to both, this Emperor Qin-Shi Tomb one is so very, very, very much better.

And I also have to say that 'in person' those terracotta warriors are so vastly more charismatic than you'd ever have thought, and the horses ... oh gosh, you have never seen such beautiful beautiful horses.  Anyway, that's all for now and you'll have to come back if you want to see all the photos I took at this exceptional and extraordinary display.
