Love Around the World Documentary

What is love?

As we traveled around the world and encountered new friends we asked them "What does love mean to you?"

Xi'an Warriors

As soon as our ship docked in Hong Kong we took a flight to Xi'an to see the Terracotta Warriors. Xi'an was filled with smog and buildings under construction. The city is growing rapidly. Here, there is a clash between the old and knew. A wall built thousands of years ago in the earlier dynasties is still used for recreation use and entrances and exits to and from the city. While modern buildings trap the old shrines, monuments, and buildings.

The Terracotta Warriors were found in the 1970's by farmers. They were created in the Qin dynasty by Emperor Shi Huangdi. Each warrior has a different face thought to represent each officer in the emperor's army. The soldiers are to protect the emperor in the after-life. Xi'an also houses the tomb of Emperor Shi Huangdi.

U-G-G Boots in China

They are called U-G-G not UGG in China. They are fake UGG Boots and can be found in the five story shopping centers called Silk Markets. Stall after stall packs the hallways making it hard to move through without getting asked to buy something at a "good deal" or the "best price in the store." These women know what is in style and the latest brands. One stall has the newest style of UGG boots while the next has the latest Longchamp bag colors.
