Warrior Plus Three

The Bowers Museum
Terra Cotta Warriors
Guardians of China's First Emperor


We really enjoyed this show. It is very popular so you have to get there early. To entertain the long lines, this guy stands very still, walks around (very slowly), dances, and poses for pictures. In the middle of the show, he lightly brushed my shoulder and when I turned around, he was inches from my face! It was all I could do not to scream, and the people standing around me were chuckling.

Anyway, don't miss the largest exhibit of Emperor Qin's Terra Cotta Army ever seen outside of China. There are more than 7,000 of the warriors back in China, made over 2,000 years ago just to guard him in his tomb. This guy gives new meaning to the word "megalomaniac."

The show closes on October 16, and you gotta go!
