[00:49.630]Seem like a great way
[00:50.669]这是个好主意
[00:50.669]To advertise concerts but it sounded

[00:53.448]Like far anyway
[00:56.868]像是遥远的往事
[00:56.868]And I stayed at the palace in one of the
[00:59.448]我下榻在宫殿里
[00:59.448]Former king's harem houses

[01:06.518]By a pair of animals a bear and a fox for example
