ID: 0906 Intermediate
You're nine hours in, two family-oriented movies later. You have had waaaay too much time to ponder whether the chicken on rice would have sat better with you than the pork with noodle. The urban legend claiming alcohol has twice the effect in the air seems a little far-fetched as you down your third gin and tonic in an attempt to numb yourself. Then... the magic words... the blessed airplane arrival speech. Listen to this podcast and understand it, in Mandarin Chinese.
