Chapter 196, Cambridge, England

I don't know how Britain feels to the people.

But Ye Kai's impression of Britain is the outlook on life conveyed to Ye Kai in "Jane Eyre", and it is the ubiquitous feeling that appears in the movie "True Love Supreme".

Ye Kai landed at Cambridge International Airport.

Three hundred and thirty thousand arrived.

He has a profound impact on the airports in the UK, and the movie "True Love First" Ye Kai has watched it five times. Whenever I feel that the world is impermanent and I am struggling, I think of the immigration gate at the airport.

Ye Kai walked out of the airport alone with his luggage.

What he saw was the same as in the movie, the hugs of loved ones, the hot kisses of lovers......

If you want to find a place where there is only love, no hatred and greed, Ye Kai feels that this place is probably the airport. If you pay attention, you will see that the world is full of love.

loveactuallyisallaround.

However, this movie made Ye Kai feel regretful that his two favorite characters were not together.

When he arrived in the UK, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, the sky was dark, Ye Kai needed to find a hotel in the city to rest, and set off for the publishing house early tomorrow morning.

Ye Kai was rejected by many publishers, but was finally confirmed by Cambridge Press, one of the top five British publishers, and in fact they were the last publishing house.

If rejected by Cambridge Press, the book will be sealed for at least a year.

Getting on the bus from the airport, Ye Kai said: "How long does it take to get to the Hilton Hotel?"

The airport provided by British Airways is a little greasy, and he has eaten too much fried food recently, so Ye Kai wants to have a lighter dinner, and the fries burger is still less for the time being.

"Which Hilton is it?"

Ye Kai recalled for a moment and said, "HiltonCambridge."

"If you take Newmarker Road it takes 13 minutes, but the road is being maintained today, so we have to take the side road Themaeshallway...... It takes 18 minutes, sir. ”

After the driver replied to Ye Kai, he started the vehicle and drove towards the city.

Ye Kai was still playing with his mobile phone, he was stunned when he heard the words, looking at the driver, he was wearing a blue suit, elegant black-framed glasses, and his hair was meticulous, not like a taxi driver, but like a boss.

Ye Kai looked out the window, and the vehicle had merged into the traffic on the highway.

"Sorry to bother. Ye Kai said, "I may have gotten on the wrong car, I'm sorry I thought it was a rental." ”

"That's rental. The driver looked at Ye Kai from the rearview mirror, smiled and said, "You are not wrong, this is a taxi, and my profession is also a taxi driver." ”

"Uh......"

Ye Kai was a little speechless, the driver had seen a lot of suits and leather shoes, but it was the personal driver of the big boss. Take an ordinary taxi, who sees such a formal driver.

Maybe there's something important to do after work for a while, like a date or something?

Ye Kai put this question aside for the time being, and there was one more thing Ye Kai was more curious, so he asked, "How did you calculate the specific time from the airport to Hilton?"

If it was Ye Kai, he would say: "About ten minutes" "About twenty minutes"

But it should be accurate on which way to go and how long it will take. If this road can't be taken, let's change the route, how long will it take, how to remember this?

It's not like it's going home from work, taxi drivers have to walk around the city every day.

"Oh? it's a must-have for us. He said.

"Compulsory?"

The driver sat down with a serious seat, saying: "All British drivers have to pass a 'knowledge test'. You have to be familiar with every street and road in Cambridge to be competent for this position. ”

"Is it really all?"

"Yes, all the streets. ”

β€œ......”

Ye Kai hasn't paid attention to such a problem, and when taking a taxi in China, the driver will also remember every road, isn't this a thing where practice makes perfect?

Do you have to memorize the map before becoming a driver?

"What are the main tests in the knowledge test?" Ye Kai was very curious about this.

"Do you want to know?"

β€œyes.”

For the first time, the driver laughed heartily and said:

"It's something I don't want to recall, so I'll tell you, to be a driver in the UK, you have to memorize about 500 common routes in the city.

If you are a frequent airport like me, you must memorize the 25,000 roads and streets within a 7-mile radius of the airport, and you must memorize the places of interest, attractions, apartment buildings, houses, police stations, monasteries, churches, chapels, hotels, bars, ......."

After a while.

Ye Kai was a little dizzy, but the driver was still talking.

β€œ...... Furniture shops, china shops, nightclubs, restaurants, alas, almost every place that a passenger might have to go, have to memorize. Sir, are you still there? The hotel has arrived. ”

And that's it?

Ye Kai paid the bill and got out of the car in a daze, looking at the magnificent Cambridge Hilton Hotel in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the British taxi driver.

No, it's full marks of sympathy.

Is it so scary to be a taxi driver? Isn't it enough to be proficient in operating a vehicle and then have a navigator? You don't give the navigation face at all.

Ye Kai stood with his suitcase for a long time, and finally sighed: "Invincible." ”

The air in the UK in April is still cold, and his season is the same as that of China, which is spring, but due to the high dimension, the UK is still a little cold now.

Before leaving Huaxia, Ye Kai would definitely check the local weather conditions, and this was the kind of weather change that was prevented.

Carrying a suitcase, he walked into the Hilton and walked towards the front desk.

Rooms at the Hilton Cambridge are rarely full, and it's not as famous as London, and it's hard to find a suitable place to stay throughout the city during the tourist season.

In addition to the number of tourists, another thing that prevents ordinary tourists from living here is the high cost of housing at Hilton.

Miss Aung Sley at the front desk was touching up her makeup, and she had just broken up with her boyfriend half an hour earlier, causing her to go to the bathroom and cry. I just washed my face, and I was in a state of no makeup.

Buyulai, who was sitting next to her, suddenly said, "A guest is coming." ”

Miss Aung Sli hurriedly lowered her head, covered her face with the high table at the front desk and continued to put on makeup, according to the regulations, they could not face customers without makeup.

Of course, it was Ye Kai who came over.

Due to the cold weather in the UK, he wore a Kachi-colored trench coat and a gray scarf, and walked to the front desk with a smile on his face.

Beoulai stood up and said with a smile, "Hello, welcome to Hilton." ”

Ye Kai nodded and replied: "Hello, my name is Ye, I have made an appointment for a room here today......"

Beyolai looked at the message displayed on the computer and said, "Yes, your room is on the sixth floor......" She glanced at Ang Sili and saw that she was still putting on makeup, and said, "I'll take you up." ”
