00:00When you're ready to go...

00:02...you can go.

00:04But first, you have to make sure your phone is charged.

00:06So you can record the sound of a car at night.

00:08I recommend you to use a headphone.

00:10You can easily hear the car's noise.

00:12You can also hear the sound of the wind.

00:14So you can hear the car.

00:16Now, let's go.

00:18Look at that.

00:20This is a very nice view.

00:22You can see the sea.

03:41that this collaboration is going to continue.

03:46I think it's really good for DC to have the pandas back and I think it's exciting, we'll

03:50bring lots of crowds so as someone who lives next door it's good and bad, but I think it's

03:57really exciting for DC and they're beautiful and I think they're kind of a status of DC

04:03so everyone's excited.

04:05The gentle and cute bears should not be demonized, nor should mutually beneficial panda cooperation

04:14be politicized.

04:16Some Chinese citizens commented that there is nothing a panda cannot fix, and if there

04:23is, then let's have two.
