IN THIS LESSON
ID: 1304 Elementary
You will see just about everything imaginable on the streets of China - a family of four on the back of a scooter, bike carts stacked ten feet high with Styrofoam packaging, buses packed so tightly that people are pressed up against the windows on all four sides...
