Two young men stood excitedly at Paris airport, their 机票 (plane tickets, jīpiào) ready for their 6-month adventure in China.
“Did you check our 航班 (flight, hángbān) details?” asked one.
“Yes, and we need to go to the 登机口 (boarding gate, dēngjī kǒu) soon,” replied the other, glancing at his 登机牌 (boarding pass, dēngjī pái).
“I hope our 行李 (luggage, xínglǐ) makes it safely,” said the first one, a bit anxiously.
“After 安检 (security check, ānjiǎn), we can relax in the 候机 (waiting area, hòujī),” his friend reassured him.
“Just can’t believe we’re finally heading to China!” he exclaimed, grinning.
