Accidental Performance Art

Xi'an - Since we've got a cultural / artistic vibe going here lately, I thought I'd let y'all know that recently a German art student, with the unlikely name "Pablo" (and the even unlikelier name "Ma Lin"), who had been obsessed with the terra cotta soldiers of Qin, recently donned a terra cotta "disguise", jumped into the pit with the warriors, and attempted to blend in.

In fact, he claims he had just wanted to have his picture taken with the warriors, but once there he got too excited and had to jump into the pit with them. Apparently his uniform was so good that he was difficult to find once he'd joined their Army.

I'm sure he's got a brilliant career ahead of him - maybe he could hook up with Laurie Anderson.
