| Anthony: Hi I am Anthony. |
| Lanzi: 大家好，我是Lanzi。 |
| Anthony: And Lanza, if you are a foreigner in China, you have to have a visa. |
| Lanzi: 签证。 |
| Anthony: That’s right. And unfortunately for me, I have to leave the country every now and again. I have to cross the border somewhere and come back and get a stamp. |
| Lanzi: 啊，真的？ |
| Anthony: So for me, I am going to cross the border in Mongolia and then turnaround and come right back. So I am going to take a train to get there. |
| Lanzi: 哦，你可以提前定票呀。 |
| Anthony: Normally I would but since this is an international train, I had to go to the train station to buy it which means I have to get my butt up really early and go to the train station. |
| Lanzi: 呃，很贵么？车票要多少钱？ |
| Anthony: It actually was relatively inexpensive. It is only about a 150 quay for a hard seat. |
| Lanzi: 那要坐多久呢？ |
| Anthony: From start to finish, it was about 13 hours. |
| Lanzi: 13个小时？ |
| Anthony: Yeah which you know, I should just pull all-nighters like just sleep the whole way through on the train ______ (0:01:05) the next day but maybe I will do that next time. |
| Lanzi: 啊，我看到了长城。 |
| Anthony: Yeah that’s a great wall but this different from the great wall that we have near Beijing. This is a much older great wall, possibly built in the Ming dynasty. |
| Lanzi: 噢，明朝。你还可以路上看风景。啊，马桶！ |
| Anthony: Yeah I had a lot of time to explore the train and I found this quite interesting and this toilet actually was fairly clean. |
| Lanzi: 好干净啊。 |
| Anthony: Considering the state of the other parts of the train. Yeah this is really cool to see a lot of these wind turbines dotted along the landscape. They are pretty cool but when you get on the other side of the coin, you have a lot of coal that’s being used. 2/3rds of China’s power comes from coal resources. |
| Lanzi: 对。三分之二的中国能源还是来源于煤的。 |
| Anthony: So yeah, we are about to arrive in Erlian which is my stop when the sun is going down. |
| Lanzi: 嗯，日落了。 |
| Anthony: But join us next week as we check out the Sights &Sounds of Downtown Erlean. So make sure you go to chineseclass101.com, sign up for your free lifetime subscription. I am Anthony. |
