Photos of the Week - Xi'an's Westernization

Here are a few pictures I took of Xi'an's development in the Spring of 2007:


Old man collecting bottles and Starbucks. Nice contrast here.


Walmart. Those little stores are, in fact, still there. They haven't been put out of business by big bad Walmart... yet.


A KFC and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda was built in 652AD. The KFC about 2005.

Xi'an is changing really quickly. It's a pretty amazing thing to witness.
