Episode Synopsis "Page 2 (28 Nov 2019) - Stations 4-8 (China)"

Spoken Notebook Page 2 - 28 November 2019 A super-early-in-the-morning-or-very-late-at-night mic session jotting down and going notes about things you may not have known about Stations 4-8: Beijing (Main), Beijing South, Daxing Airport, Beijing West, and Tianjin South, all stations in Northern China... Did you know the tacky, infomercial-arts-ish "8 Gates" part of Beijing Railway Station was probably amongst the first-ever such elevated concourse in all of Mainland China? Or that there used to be signs to a Gate 25 at Beijing South? How about the sleek new Daxing Airport station with professional staff and advanced technology? The Euston of Beijing, but always slightly more improved, a la Beijing West station? And the mini city forest by the east exit of Tianjin South HSR + Metro station, which those in a hurry almost always miss out on?... There's plenty more stations to come, very soon!
