Other times Grand Central Station came up

  1. Kind of like a telephone, but in, in, uh, no, in China, in the summer palace, I seem to remember that you would go to either end of the palace and they would have somehow that you would whisper to the wall and you could hear it. Having playgrounds. You often have other end of the end of playgrounds. Those things you talk into that never work. There was also one of those at Grand Central Station in New York, whispering gallery. I think it's a simple cultural. Yeah. Yeah.
