At Beijing’s crowded 火车 (train | huǒchē) 车站 (station | chēzhàn), two young European girls frantically searched for their train.
“We should’ve checked the 时间表 (schedule | shíjiānbiǎo) more carefully,” the first girl fretted, clutching her 票 (tickets | piào).
Her friend, scanning the swirling crowd, replied, “Let’s ask at the 买票 (ticket office | mǎipiào) counter for directions to our 站台 (platform | zhàntái).”
Clutching their 行李 (luggage | xínglǐ), they navigated through the bustling crowd, hoping to find their 座位 (seats | zuòwèi) before 出发 (departure | chūfā). The excitement and chaos of the Beijing train station overwhelmed her, yet thrilled her.
