Hotel Words

Before I just walked into the room,

I knocked first,

Knocking. I knocked first,

then used my room key card to open the door and come in.

Hello everyone,

When I travel, I usually stay in hotels,

so in this video I’m planning to film some

Chinese words related to hotels,

I’m in the hotel lobby right now,

and I’m about to check in,

This is the hotel lobby,

where people can sit and wait,

so there are chairs and sofas,

and tables, where you can sit

and wait for someone or for a car,

This is the lobby area, the lobby,

This is the front desk,
