Helpfulness
Like many countries, pick-pockets syndicate is wide-spread.
2 incidents happened while I was in Xi'an. One person escaped but the other fell prey to the pick-pocket "professionals.
INCIDENT 1:
A woman started screaming out of no-where and everyone turns to look at her (Its human nature to look right? ) and a small boy enters the big crowd and tries his luck to get some wallets. Thankfully, my colleague realised something amiss, and saw the boy in action.
They screamed at the boy and he ran away with his "guardian" and the "screaming woman"
INCIDENT 2:
A colleague of mine was shopping, keeping her sling bag in-front of her at all times. A small girl brushes through her and walks pass coolly. My colleague did not notice anything wrong and kept on shopping. The next thing she knew was her sling bag's zip was open and her wallet was missing.
People, just remember that these people are professionals who have been trained in a syndicate. Their skills are totally admirable, yet totally frowned upon. Please place your wallets in secret compartments in your bag or anywhere else.
The weakest link is when we loose focus. Thats what the lil' thieves are looking for. Please be careful, whether its in Xi'an or anywhere else.
FYI: A LOT OF CHILD PICK-POCKETS STATIONED AT THE BELL & DRUM TOWER. BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR POSESSIONS.

About one month ago, my father and i went to Heyang Province to look with reverence Yellow River. There're two places which have been developed. one is called Psyche Of Yellow River, one is called Virginity Fount. They are both famous places to sight-see the great river. you also can have a drift on it.
We went neither of this two ways, we had walked about three kilometres to a large riverhead which hadn't been developed. Becaose of it had rained and the river had flooded several days before, the soil on the riverhead just like that in a swamp. Once i dreamed that i can touch the water in the Yellow River, that day, i could see the river very close to me, i tried my best to anear the yellow water, but i failed. i had almost lost my life for my unpractical dream. i went out of the riverhead with my hands and my feet.i just crept
So, don't take the risk like me again.
The picture shows you a departed bird on the riverhead which i have been.
