Edinburgh GSMA SG Meeting

Edinburgh to chair the GSM Association Security Group meeting ... held on my Birthday in the Whisky Society in Queen Street. Nice stay at the Royal Overseas League which had a view of the Castle from my room and the dining room. Returned on the night sleeper to London, slept well after a small dram.



Dinner was held in the Leith building ... lovely!

Xi'an

To Xi'an via Shanghai. For SA3 #58. A small side trip to see the Terracotta Warriors.

The scale was overwhelming, it's not until you see them do you realise how big it all is. A one hour taxi ride from Xi'an, dodging all the surrounding souvenir shops and jade outlets!


One of the three buildings, one a similar size mostly un-excavated, another much smaller.



And finally, we did not get out much .... but here is a picture of a building just down the road from us. There was an MG car garage almost next door! Still made there ..
