Imagine seeing this at San Francisco International Airport:

To promote the Terracotta Warriors

exhibit at the Asian Art Museum of San
Francisco, an actor dressed like a
warrior had been “lost” in the Bay Area
and the community’s help was sought
in finding him.

Now that the exhibit is over, it was time

for the lost warrior – and the ten life-
size terracotta figures from the army of
over 7,000 figures that guarded the
tomb of a Chinese emperor- to go
home to Xi’an, China.

As part of the send-off for the figures,

on Friday Cathay Pacific, the airport
and the museum live tweeted photos

of the journey of the Lost Warrior as he arrived at the airport, checked-in for his flight,
checked out some of the SFO Museum exhibits, waited at the gate and settled into his
Premium Economy seat.

They even made a Vine video of the

warrior hanging out in the Cathay
Pacific lounge.
