Chapter 1230: Magical Greece
Greece is located in the southeast corner of Europe, a strategic location in Europe, Asia and Africa. The civilization dates back to the ancient Greek civilization and is considered the birthplace of Western civilization.
The gods and goddesses of European mythology, such as Zeus and Athena among the twelve main gods, basically originated from Greek mythology. It can be said that this is a shining pearl of civilization on earth.
However, this once devastated pearl is undoubtedly a little bleak now. Not to mention that the land area is much smaller than in ancient times, although there are many historical sites, the country is poor.
I don't know since when the Greek government's favorite thing is to borrow money, to borrow money from the European Union, to borrow money from other countries. In short, all kinds of arrears, borrowed money at the beginning to boost the domestic economy. Later, I borrowed money really because I couldn't survive. Because the government is about to collapse, it can only borrow money to survive.
So in such a place that is obviously the birthplace of human civilization, in recent years, all kinds of debts have begun. In a few years, there will be a feeling of becoming a European and American-stirring stick.
Not to mention that a large amount of foreign debts cannot be repaid every year, many creditor countries in Europe and the United States have forgiven him debts. The government filed for bankruptcy without forgiving debts, and was unwilling to exchange a dime. Or simply announce your withdrawal from the European Union.
So don't look at the fact that in the next few years, Britain will make a lot of trouble in order to get rid of the EU, in fact, the countries that want to leave the EU are not the first to be proposed by the UK. Greece in front of us has now begun to stir up trouble.
But constantly how the Greek economy is collapsing, the government is in debt, and so on. If you like to travel to ancient ruins, this is definitely one of the first places to visit.
Especially the temples built by huge stones, and the murals of various stone carvings. Not only can people feel the vicissitudes of history, but also let you experience how glorious ancient Greece was and how brilliant the civilization was.
At the beginning of August, the whole of Athens came alive, even though there were still more than ten days before the start of the Olympic Games. But this disease prevents enthusiastic tourists from visiting here, after all, it is one of the most civilized tourist cities in the world.
If Western civilization looks at ancient Greece, then almost the essence of ancient Greek civilization is in Athens. Athens, the eighth largest city in Europe and one of the commercial centers of Europe.
In addition to being the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of European philosophy. It is also the most prosperous city in Greece, and although the state is in debt, this does not affect the prosperity of Athens, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Xiao Wenchen sat around his neck, and Liu Leehom also held his daughter. Zhou Ya and eldest sister Hongying, each carrying their husbands, walked in front of a Ran Feifei who didn't have to do anything and took pictures with a camera in her hand. The group walked among the Parthenon.
Seriously, from a distance, the Parthenon looks like it was built on a broken wall, and when you walk in, you can see that there are all kinds of cluttered stones everywhere.
The upright stone pillars and statues of gods can always inadvertently pull you into the historical occasion. Standing under the statue and looking up, one can't help but feel awe.
"Do you know that you can't take pictures of the idol, that's disrespectful to the idol. And it is easy to please God, and it is difficult to send God, so be careful of being angered by God. Xiao Wenchen grabbed the hair in his ear, making Yang Dongxu grin. It's not good to lose his temper with his son, looking at Ran Feifei and Yang Dongxu in front of him, he can't help but feel a little angry.
This guy also said that he likes children and doesn't want to get married but wants a child. But whether it is Xiao Wenchen or Xiao Jiali, after a rarity, he doesn't want to bring all kinds of shirks after that.
Belong to the kind of occasional nature to come and play crazy with two little guys. And then after the enthusiasm passes, he wants to be single, and he feels that the child is annoying, and he does not have the patience of a mother for his child at all, such a person does not want to get married, but wants a child?
Ran Feifei turned her head and threw Yang Dongxu a roll of the eyes, the statue of the god is not allowed to take pictures, so where did those promotional pictures of Athens tourism come from? Where did those illustrations of World Travel magazine come from?
Besides, even if the statue can't be photographed, what can I do, I am Chinese, right?
There seem to be more and more complex Chinese immortals than Western immortals, and I returned to China to rest after taking pictures. Can these Greek immortals still be chased to China to find her trouble?
Compared with domestic tourism, even in tourist attractions, you can see all kinds of restaurants or stalls for food and drink.
The Acropolis is a bit speechless, in short, people travel is tourism, and leisure eating is casual eating. Therefore, after walking around the Acropolis, you have to walk a long distance to the foot of the mountain to have food and drink, which is not as convenient as in China.
After walking around and shouting, what is even more speechless is that in China, even a fly restaurant on the street has air conditioning, and the worst can give you a big fan.
But here in Athens, let alone small restaurants, many homes do not have air conditioning. Most of the restaurants are semi-open, that is, except for the back kitchen, the other three sides are basically ventilated.
Athens is located in the Balkans, which has a subtropical Mediterranean climate, and it doesn't matter if there is no fan or lamp when it is windy, and the air will not seem so hot. When there's no wind, or in a leeward place, the feeling of warmth is maddening.
"Musaga, fried baby squid, lamb barbecue...... A few more glasses of juice for each person, and ice it. After sitting down, Ran Feifei, who also felt the heat, skillfully ordered the food.
Although there is no air conditioning, it does not mean that there is no refrigerator in the restaurant. Especially in Athens, it is popular to drink a kind of ouzo, which is brandy made with fennel.
The taste Yang Dongxu did not dare to compliment, even brandy belongs to high liquor, and liquor seems to be the same. But the taste is not a little bit worse, and he has been insulated from this kind of thing since he took a sip.
And this is best to fake a lot of ice and a small amount of water, this wine is very popular in Athens, so the store must have a refrigerator to store ice. And many ice drinks and ice creams also need to be added to smoothies.
Athenian cuisine is largely fried and grilled. The special feature is that everything is smeared with olive oil. In fact, the popular food characteristics of the whole of Europe are basically like this, either fried or all kinds of grilled meats.
It seems that French cuisine, which is the representative of Western food, can still make a little flower. But in addition to steak, Yang Dongxu does not dare to compliment Western food, whether it is fresh and pure caviar or snails bursting with juice.
However, although the cooking method is very poor, the presentation is still good. For example, if you have a lamb barbecue, people won't get you a big iron skewer for you to. Instead, it's baked and plated for you, with some onions or other lace.
The meat is very large, so if you want to cook it outside, you can't avoid the feeling of being a little burnt and slightly black. But the taste is very good, especially the amount given is very real, unlike a few slices of meat on a small iron skewer in China.
"You really don't wait to see the Olympics before leaving? The time before the light is wandering around on land, the Acropolis and the temple or something are finished today.
I'm going to rent a yacht when I go back in the evening, and let's go to the sea to have some fun together. After all, it's still cooler to go to the sea in this weather, and it's too hot on land. I want to stay in the hotel or not. They all tied up and watched his son deal with the plate of barbecue in front of him, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but praise, like he was a carnivore.
"Next time, it's been a while since I've been out, and I'm really worried if I don't go back. There is a direct flight to Yanjing here, and it is also convenient to fly back to Yanjing from here and then transfer to Chengdu. Liu Leehom said.
Since I found out that the biggest drawback of wanting to manage a large-scale farm in China, I can't get a large-scale farm. He really put all his energy into traveling.
I accompanied my wife and children to visit a lot of places and bought a lot of things, and my wife Hongying was rich. In recent years, the farm has also made a lot of money, and his husband's waist is naturally hard because he has money in his waist bag, so he has a lot of fun.
But it's still that problem, even if the farm is handed over to the parents to take care of, there are many old employees in the farm who will not have any problems. But after coming out for so long, I always feel uneasy when I don't go home to take a look.
"The time is not in a hurry, otherwise we will go back with you, so that you can still live in Yanjing for a few days and have fun in Yanjing. When the time comes, you can take your uncles and aunts over together and see the heart of the motherland. Zhou Ya said.
"If I have the chance, I would like to take my parents on a trip. It's okay for them to go out for two days, but after going out for a long time, they feel uncomfortable and want to go home, especially when they see that it costs so much money to stay in a hotel every day. said that his parents Liu Leehom was a little helpless.
His wife is rich, and his wife's maiden family is also rich. But I haven't been bad in the past few years, let alone traveling with my parents, even if I buy a house in a big city for my parents to support the elderly.
However, the older generation is diligent and thrifty, and when they travel, they only spend money every day, but they don't make money. After a few days of playing, I feel uncomfortable, and I would rather go home and stay than wander around. After all, you don't make money at home, and you don't spend money.
"My parents used to be like this, just go out a few times and get used to it. Although we can't play as freely as we do, we can learn to enjoy it slowly.
After all, the older generation has not been to many places except for going out to work. Take them to see the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and other ancient buildings. Even if you take them to Xi'an to see the Terracotta Warriors.
In short, they like historical sites the most, than take them to the beach and rent a yacht to go to sea. Or look at the high-rise buildings in the city. Yang Dongxu was paying attention to the side.
Money is definitely going to be spent, especially when both families are not short of money. Naturally, we have to find ways to improve some quality of life. Now that the material quality has improved, it is not too good to be able to eat meat at every meal. The rest of the nature should improve the quality of spiritual life, and the older generation cannot work hard all their lives and wander around one acre and three points of land in their hometown when they are old.
"Then wait for the autumn weather to come down and take them to Yanjing when the weather is too busy and it is not too busy. I love history and definitely want to go to the palace. Liu Leehom said with a smile.
"Don't stay in a hotel at that time, you also know where our family lives in Yanjing, and when the time comes, we will live in the big courtyard. Where is not far from the Royal Palace, it is also convenient for travel. Before you go, say in advance, let Aunt Hua dry the quilt in advance and prepare a room for you. ”
Zhou Ya said this while holding the juice for her son to drink. At the same time, he stepped on Yang Dongxu and raised his head, and motioned to Ran Feifei, who was immersed in eating.
