The Three Kingdoms

We visited the Three Kingdoms yesterday. It was not as difficult as we expected. We just hopped on a bus and when it stopped and they turned the engine off it was time to get off.

Talk about a boring job. He probably thought he was going to be a movie star, and instead he got the gate prize. This place is the local Hollywood.

Everything is ticky-tacky - this ship almost looks like a pop-stick model. But then we found the real pop-stick models.

Anyone who can take these props and turn them into a believable scene in the movies has earnt my respect.

The warriors were taking a lunch break when we got there.

Obviously when you are a movie actor you have a lot of time on your hands. These chaps were amusing themselves feeding the goldfish.

There were some very bored-looking actors in and around the actual scene that was being filmed. Some of them (on the red carpet there) were practising their spear moves.

The stage hands were responding to calls to move imitation braziers and stone blocks around.

For this patient little soldier it was all getting to be too much, and that rubber armour is so heavy.

But we had fun looking around.
