You guys can see we're going down into the platform. All of these doors are for

the platform. All of these doors are for women only. Women only. And same with

women only. Women only. And same with that side. So we cannot go here unless

that side. So we cannot go here unless are you a woman? Not now.

>> Not now. What does that mean? Tomorrow?

>> Uh, depending on my mood.

>> Yeah. So, this is a woman only coach.

We're not going to stand there. We're

going to stand here instead. And usually

the proper etiquette when you're at a train station is to always stand to the side. You stand to the side so that you

side. You stand to the side so that you can let the people that are coming out of the train walk right here. So, they

can walk straight out and then you stand to the side here and you wait your turn.

That is just proper etiquette. Can you

guys describe this MRT station for me?

Describe it. This is an MRT station. The

MRT station is very clean and modern.

The MRT station feels very empty. So

those are three simple sentences you can use to describe almost anything. What it

is, what it looks like. So describe it and then how it feels. So this is an MRT station. It looks clean and modern and

station. It looks clean and modern and it feels very empty. Three sentences,

very simple, and that will make you sound a lot more fluent in English with those three sentences. So, look around your room right now and give me three sentences. You can just say it to

sentences. You can just say it to yourself or you can write them in the comments. How would you describe your

comments. How would you describe your surroundings right now? So, our train has just arrived and we are now going to board the train. Since there is almost no one coming out of the train, we'll

stand right in front of the door and get on once these two doors open.

So, this is an underground subway station. It is very deep underground and

station. It is very deep underground and there are many escalators as you can see clearly.

And the feeling this gives me is vertigo. I also feel like this is just

vertigo. I also feel like this is just really cool, modern, and clean. And it

honestly feels like I'm in a super advanced country, which I am. Just

seeing how far these escalators come down into the ground just to have public transit for people, which is very cool.

But outside of this station, nearby are the Petronis Twin Towers. So, how would you describe this subway station?

>> Two words to describe this station would be massive cuz it feels like there's multiple levels. I can see one, two, and

multiple levels. I can see one, two, and three. But I say three levels, but look

three. But I say three levels, but look at how far they go down and how far it goes up. So it feels massive. And I feel

goes up. So it feels massive. And I feel like during peak time it'll be busy. But

right now it's quiet.

>> Yeah. During rush hour it will be busy.

But now let's head up all these escalators and go outside.

>> All right. Okay. Look at like look at how far this escalator goes. This is

like high. And this one on my left hand side is broken by the looks of it. And

they're repairing it right now. And this

is our third escalator.

>> So if you were at the bottom, how many escalators do you have to take to get up to the top >> from the very bottom? Four.

>> Four escalators.

>> And these escalators are long.

>> Two of them are like really long, right?

>> Yeah. Yeah. They're very long. So you're

deep underground for sure. So to my right, you can see the Patronus Twin Towers.

They are very tall and uh shiny. Very

tall and shiny. Unfortunately, it's kind of hard to see the twin towers, but once we get closer, we'll be able to see them both like side by side, but right now it looks like one building, right? Kind of

does >> cuz we're like parallel to them, right?

>> Yeah. Almost. Yeah. And uh it just feels like so cool. Like I don't know how else I would describe it. Just feels cool and surreal to see like huge towering buildings.

>> Like you can't really tell the scale on video but >> these buildings are huge buildings.

>> I know. I always find it really cool being in the city center being surrounded by all the skyscrapers. I

think it's like surreal that people like built this crazy. Let's get closer. Get

a better view. This is a a self-s served convenience store and you have to like scan your face to enter the shop.

So, I guess if you steal anything, they'll charge you. Ooh, dude. Honestly,

these look super good.

>> Yeah, that looks handmade, you know.

>> Yeah. Tutti frutti. That one's tutti frutti. That's strawberry. This one is

frutti. That's strawberry. This one is red velvet cheese, dude. Oh my gosh, dude. They're tempting me. Oh, have you

dude. They're tempting me. Oh, have you seen these? That's the chicken

seen these? That's the chicken drumstick. Fried chicken.

drumstick. Fried chicken.

>> Yo, I want that.

>> You should get that. First thing you eat today is just ice cream.

>> A chicken drumstick ice cream. I see

that all the time on TikTok and I always think I want to try that so bad. Is that

just like a cob of corn?

>> I think you're right. Sweet corn.

>> Grilled corn.

>> Yo, I want to try this chocolate moist.

>> Dude, some of this stuff looks like homemade. It's kind of

homemade. It's kind of >> really cool.

>> But what I do want is a water. So yeah,

this is a self-s served convenience store. It is automated and selfs served

store. It is automated and selfs served and it feels futuristic >> and it's more convenient than a regular convenience store.

>> Facts, though. I think I don't know if we're going to come back here, but I really want to try one of these, but I haven't eaten anything today and I don't want to have something sweet right off the bat. Now I'm going to pay by

the bat. Now I'm going to pay by tapping. Okay, so we were walking and I

tapping. Okay, so we were walking and I was walking on this side and I did not notice that there is razor wire like right here and I was thinking if you're

walking like if you look right here that's literally in the path. So you

could just be walking and then slice your arm open and probably get infected.

I feel like that's not really the safest thing I've seen, but >> No, definitely not. I mean because of the rust it's not that sharp anymore, but still that's >> Yeah. So this is razor wire. It looks

>> Yeah. So this is razor wire. It looks

rusty and old and it feels unsafe to have right along the sidewalk. Feels

unsafe, but I don't make the rules. So,

let's just uh stay away from that. Okay,

so we've been walking for a few minutes now. We're surrounded by these

now. We're surrounded by these skyscrapers and high-rise apartments.

And here it looks like they're clearing out this old building. I believe it was a hotel before. You can see all of this scrap metal inside these big metal containers. And these people are

containers. And these people are working. Once these are full, a truck

working. Once these are full, a truck will come and take this away and dump it in the landfill. The landfill, that's just where you dump all the garbage from

a city. But, uh, let's keep going. I

a city. But, uh, let's keep going. I

could just see the tip of the Petronis Tower. We're almost there. And we almost
