half a million

[totient]

500,000 is a very big number. Especially when it's the number of people stranded at a single train station, in Guangzhou. I say "at" and not "in" because, of course, they don't fit inside.

I think I've been in that train station. Fortunately I wasn't stranded there.

The taxi ride from there to my hotel was one of the scariest I've ever had.
