Terracotta Warriors in Shanghai

Those are great. Believe it or not there are imitation (I'm sure) warriors in a little town called Grimesland just a few miles from me. They sure do make you look twice, don't they. Great Post!
Great photo!
I did Photo Hunters today, too. I hope you get a chance to visit.

I saw some of the terracotta warriors when they came to Canberra many, many years ago. Fascinating! :)

I remember visiting the museum when I was young to view these teracotta warriors and I overheard this man telling his son there were real bodies inside them. It scared the hell outta me!! :P

Hi Marites! Thanks for your comment. The SRP of EOS 450D kit (with EF-S 18-55mm IS lens) in the malls are 42,950. But in Hidalgo in Quiapo, it is more or less 35K. You can google Hidalgo, Quiapo and know more about it. Good luck!!!
Very nice look at "chipped." I'm going to check out the real warriors too.
