Welcome to the second episode of Weekend English. I hope you are having a good weekend, and today and next week I will talk a little bit about Guangzhou. I visited Guangzhou some time ago, so let me tell you a bit about my impression of the city.

The first thing you will notice in Guangzhou is that the city is very very big. Millions of people live in Guangzhou, so the city has a larger population than some European countries. Because of this the city is very crowded, with people, cars and scooters everywhere. I noticed a lot of the cars in Guangzhou are electric cars, so they are better for the environment. The electric cars have green license plates, and other cars have blue license plates. I thought this is very interesting because outside China you can not see this difference.

I really had to get used to the traffic when I first arrived in Guangzhou, but the most shocking thing to me was probably the metro system. I have never seen a metro as crowded as the Guangzhou metro, especially on line 3. There were so many people on line three, I almost could not get out of the metro and had to push my way through all the people to get out. Did you know more than 8 million people use the Guangzhou metro every day? It is the third busiest metro in the whole world, and you can really feel it when you are there. But I have to say, although it is super busy, I was very impressed with how clean the metro is, so it looks very good. In my hometown, the metro is not always so clean. In Amsterdam we only have 4 metro lines so it is much smaller than Guangzhou.

Have you used the Guangzhou metro? What did you think of it? Next week I will talk a little bit more about Guangzhou, so I hope you will be here again next weekend. Until next time!
