Lots of old stuff again

18.04.2015

In the morning, I took the bus to the Luoyang Museum which is HUGE. It was raining heavily, so Courtney gave me an umbrella and even an entire warm up suit that she got for volunteering. It's bright blue and I love it!

There were lots of old things there again. The most interesting things were the small figurines that were buried with people when they died. They were a substitute for when the practice of burying one's slaves alive was abolished. I had already seen these figurines before, but to amass such a wide array of them in one place was intriguing.

I lost Courtney's umbrella and then bought her the first one I saw, which happened to be a children's umbrella, although I didn't notice until I gave it to her when I got back.
