The fanny pack is one of man&#8217;s greatest invention! Not only is it a convenient means to carry stuff, but it&#8217;s also super trendy! Amiright?!<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, if you&#8217;re an avid explorer and struggle to deal with bulging pockets full of the modern day necessities (cell phone, wallet, keys, phone charger &amp; battery pack, passport, etc.), you need a fanny! My fanny and I have now been together for 2 weeks and these past two weeks have been even more easy &amp; breezy than covergirl. This relationship started when I was packing for my 3 day trip to Xi&#8217;an and knew that I couldn&#8217;t survive spending another day exploring and being super uncomfortable. Luckily, I remembered seeing fanny packs for sale in a book store down the road for only 25 RMB, which is about $3.75 USD. I can confidently say that it was hands down the best $3.75 I&#8217;ve yet to spend!<\/p>\n<p>From strolling through the extremely crowded Terracotta Warriors Museum to hustling for a good meal in the Night Market, my fanny was there and helping a brother out. I now even use my fanny for casual outings to shopping centers and quick runs for street food. 10\/10 recommend purchasing one!<\/p>\n<p>Quick note: Xi&#8217;an is an amazing city! It&#8217;s such a historic and beautiful city located in the center of China! It&#8217;s the perfect mix of urban and rural! On our 3day trip I:<br \/>\n\u2022Completed a 13 km bike ride on the City Wall<br \/>\n\u2022Ate a 14-course dumpling dinner<br \/>\n\u2022Visited the Terracotta Warriors Museum, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Forest of Stone Steles Museum, Shaanxi History Museum, and the Small Wild Goose Pagoda<br \/>\n\u2022Had the best food in the Muslim Quarter<br \/>\n\u2022Took a shot of Baijiu (Chinese Rice Wine) and then smashed the serving dish at the Night Market<br \/>\n\u2022And had the honor of meeting Paul, the best tour guide on this planet<\/p>\n<p>***In case you&#8217;re in China and searching for a fanny of your own, the Chinese translation is \u8303\u59ae\u5305 (f\u00e0n n\u012b b\u0101o)!! (I also got that off of google translate so if you ask for that and they bring you a shaved llama, you&#8217;re welcome!!!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh the places you&#8217;ll go! &#8230; Better yet, oh the places you&#8217;ll go with a handy-dandy fanny pack!
