276 Bus

Shuangyi Li is someone who has an incredible story of how a particular bus ride in the city of Guiyang totally changed the direction of her life! From originally just going on a trip with people from the annual animation festival, the journey turned into something much bigger! Listen through to this episode to hear how Shuangyi Li’s life was transformed by the bus ride and what it has to do with the word antidisestablishmentarianism! Of course, you still need to learn Chinese, so ShaoLan teaches the word for “bus” as well as for various other “peripherals” that relate to busses and transport.

The Chinese word for bus is 公車/公车. The first character 公 means “public” and the second character 車/车 means “vehicle,” so the “public vehicle” is the bus 公車/公车!
