This is the check-in hall and will be the first queue you will encounter.There is a queuing system which may appear strange at first because it is not a straight line of people.

Passengers are guided through a winding line through the queuing section.There can be a significant wait so you may wish to provide some quiet entertainment or activity to pass the time.Also make sure you have made a visit to the toilet if necessary before you join the queue.You may have arranged for escorted assistance from OCS and this could include being taken to the front of the queue.Checking-in is the process for confirming that you are prepared for the flight,where your flight documents are checked and where you will be issued with a boarding pass in order to get on the plane later.This is also where you will drop off large luggage that will be put on the plane for you into its cargo section.This luggage will be weighed and confirmed as being below the limit set for your journey.If your luggage weighs more than this limit,you may be asked to pay an additional charge.Your luggage will pass through to an area behind the checking desks to be taken to the plane.You will be allowed to take hand luggage onto the plane with you.But again,the amount,size and weight will be limited.Importantly,there are restrictions on what items are allowed to be taken on the plane with you in your hand luggage as well as any loose items you may carry.

The next part of the process is the security checking area.This is a very important process that everyone has to do and is for the safety of all air travelers.There will be another queue to join and waiting times can vary a lot.It may be noisy crowded with possibility warm,even high temperatures.Again,it will be important to check to have none of the prohibited items for a travel.When you arrive at the security check area,you will be asked to do several things that may feel uncomfortable or unusual,but these things are important for all air travelers to ensure safety.You will be asked to place any hand luggage or bags you’ve be taken onto the plane in to a special tray.You will also have to place any loose items,like phones,electronic devices,keys,coins and any other metallic items into this tray.

You may even be asked to remove your shoes,belts,brooches or tie-pins,if they are metallic or have metal on.The tray will then pass through a machine that can see inside your bag or other items with X-rays.You will then be asked to individually pass through a big arch that is a metal detector machine to check you haven’t forgotten to place any items in the tray,but sometimes an alarm sound will go off as you pass through the arch.This will indicate to the security people that there is still something metallic on you or in your pocket.If this happens,there will be an additional check made by an individual security person.You may be asked to allow a security person to rub a small piece of cloth on your shoes.The swab will then be placed into a detector machine and will check for any prohibited chemicals or substances.

Once scanner checks are completed,you’ll be asked to collect your items from your tray at the end of the conveyor system.The conveyor system is often quite loud and clunky.

1.The Propeller Island City Lodge is one of the zaniest hotels in Berlin.

3.You can either take an elevator or climb to the first platform,then you climb through the pipes to your apartment.

4.Seventeen meters above the sea.

Narrator:The Propeller Island City Lodge is one of the zaniest hotels in Berlin.It has 30 rooms.Each and every one is unique and anything but conventional.

Stroschen:This is the Forest room and here our guests sleep on a pile of wood.And you can lift this up and we have a place to stow suitcases.This is an inhabitable piece of artwork.And the idea behind it is that when you close the door and shut the windows and hear the music that was especially composed for that particular room,if you give in to it you can beamed to a completely different planet.

Narrator:You won’t find massive rooms here.Nonetheless,the selection is extensive.In the Propellor Island Hotel you can stay overnight in rooms that range from odd to frightening.

Stroschen:The coffins are built so that you can lie down in them.You can sleep with the cover closed if you want.There’s a ventilation slit here,and there are more down here,so nothing can happen if you sleep inside it.It’s cozy.

Narrator:Many of the rooms are pretty bizarre and are reminiscent of a video game or a world of science-fiction.The hotel can’t complain about the influx of guests.Foreign guests are particularly enthusiastic.

Change of scenery—we are in Harlingen in the Dutch part of Friesland.The weirdest hotel here is the Harbour Crane Hotel.You can either take an elevator or climb to the first platform,then you climb through the pipes to your apartment.The roof has a terrace with places to sit.The glorious and airy view into the distance is included.Seventeen meters above the sea,a view for two alone—it’s hard to top that for romance.The Crane Hotel always manages to make its guests happy.A romantic interlude for two in a crane,a madly beautiful hotel.

5.It refers to a man or boy employed in a hotel,club,etc,to carry luggage and answer calls for service.You’ll find bellmen at hotels,train terminals,airport terminals,ports and other travel hubs where people need assistance.

When it comes to finding the most interesting city to visit in southwest China,the battle is often between Chongqing and Sichuan neighbor Chengdu.Chongqing and Chengdu both got their signatures,while Chongqing is very famous for the hot pot and Chengdu is popular for the pandas.But what else is there to explore in these two mega cities,and is it worth making the one to two hour trip from one to the other if you’re visiting.Let’s find it out.

There are many reasons why if you like Chongqing,you might like Chengdu and the other way around.And before we dive into our list of some of our favourite attractions of each place,let us know down in the comments which city you like the best and why? Also,if you like this video,please give us a like and consider subscribing to our channel to see more videos about Chongqing and some of its surrounding areas just like this one.

Hongya Cave is one of the most Instagram-able iconic spots in Downtown Chongqing.Located at the bank of the Yuzhong peninsula,along the Yangtze River,these traditional wooden dwellings keep the memory of Old Chongqing alive.With a history of more than 2,300 years,it sits right next to some of the tallest and most modern skyscrapers in perfect harmony.

Kuanzhai Alley in Chengdu is one remains of the old buildings from the Qing dynasty and also attracts millions of tourists every year.The Qing style Quadrangle courtyards and typical Qing Era buildings,houses,shops that sell snacks,crafts and traditional food.You can also find fashionable bars and restaurants along these streets.

Renowned as China’s No.1 dragon dance,Chongqing’s Tongliang fire dragon dance performance is overwhelmingly spectacular.The dance is performed by a team of experienced dancers who manipulate a long flexible figure of a dragon using poles positioned at regular intervals along the length of the dragon.The dance team simulates the imagined movements of this river spirit in an undulating way.The dancers performed in a shower of molten iron that sparkled like fireworks,creating an incredibly beautiful and fiery scene.

Face-changing is an important aspect of Sichuan Opera and the precise techniques that are used to change masks in modern Sichuan Opera is a closely guarded secret.They also wear vividly colored masks that they may change within a fraction of a second and do the acrobatics such as jumping through burning hoops and hiding swords to entertain and amuse the audience.The magical face changes are particularly famous,especially since no one seems to know how exactly it is done.

In Chongqing,one of the best ways to explore the city is by monorail,which can take you to most places of downtown.Due to the wavy terrain,you can have an extraordinary experience by taking the monorail.The monorail goes along the riverside and mountains,and even though the buildings.On the way,you can enjoy the beautiful scenic views and especially in the evening.

Thanks to the plain land of Chengdu,bicycles are a popular transportation tool.Taking a bike tour around the city is favored by many visitors.Passing by flat roads and crossing fields and gardens,you can feel the pleasure of travel and enjoy the nice view in the city.

Ciqikou is another Chongqing top attraction and a place that not only offers historical Chinese architecture but also an abundance of history paired with modern dining and entertainment options.Ciqikou,with long history and traditional long pedestrian street dating back more than 1,000 years,is an oldest shopping street in Chongqing.If you enjoy this kind of scenic spot,you will also surely enjoy Jinli in Chengdu,a large area in similar styles to Ciqikou with beautiful gardens and old style buildings where you can enjoy snacks,traditional Chinese architecture as well as tea and opera performances.Jinli is in fact much larger than Ciqikou and a bit of a photographer’s dream to walk around for an afternoon or an evening.

Part VI　Do You Know？

1.Customs:Recipient should receive the gift with both hands; Chinese recipients usually won’t open gifts in front of the giver immediately.Taboos:Do not write greeting card with red ink pen,as red ink is a symbol of diffidation; necklace,ties or belt,they are for boyfriends or girlfriends,too personal to give to normal friends; the number 6 and 8 are good and lucky numbers for Chinese—number 6 means everything goes on smoothly and number 8 means making a fortune,but the number 4 is not good,as it sounds like death in Chinese language; remove price tag before you give it to someone as a gift; check expire dates if it’s food or drink.

2.USA:When a gift is given to a person,the giver might not receive one in return.Americans often open the gift right away,in front of the giver,so that they can see what it is and express thanks for the item.France:Good taste is imperative when giving gifts in France.Timing is also important.In general,the French avoid giving gifts at the first business meeting.When invited to someone’s home,flowers are generally appropriate but avoid chrysanthemums (used for funerals),red roses (exchanged between lovers and very good friends),and carnations (thought to bring bad luck).Fine chocolates or champagne are also appropriate gifts.

3.It is not polite upon receiving a gift to open it in front of the giver.

5.It’s very rude to send flowers to Italians,because in Italy flowers are only used during funerals and they are considered bad luck.
