Chapter 446, Golden City
The road from the airport to the city has a long yellow sand, as soon as the car passes, the yellow sand flies in the air like a sandstorm, the car must close the window, otherwise the dust will give you a good wash of your face.
The taxi driver seemed to be an old driver, driving unhurriedly, and took a sip of water from the cup placed next to him.
"It's right not to look for them, Cairo doesn't have much to see, and if you give them money, it will only take you to the more famous places, and you will charge twenty dollars a day, and only you first-time visitors to Egypt will give them money. β
Isn't it fifty dollars......
Ye Kai didn't speak, and the driver asked again, "What country are you from?"
βChina.β
"China?good, this is a very powerful country. Sir, you speak English very well, there are not many people in Cairo who actually know English, you are lucky to meet me. β
Ye Kai didn't tell him that he knew Arabic, so he smiled and looked at his phone, and he had to look at the map.
With the improvement of China's national strength, China's influence abroad has become more and more significant, but the most intuitive is Europe and Africa, when you go to the United States, Americans still won't bird you.
However, residents like this who live in scenic spots are a little biased in their feelings about Chinese people.
Rich, kind, and honest.
These three points are the impression of many tourist city residents on Chinese tourists, and if you think about it carefully, it makes sense, no matter how arrogant people are in China, they will become honest when they go abroad.
This situation may slowly disappear in the future, and when younger Chinese people are bullied abroad, they will not choose to swallow their anger, but will go to the embassy to complain.
Many people regard embassies as a place for foreign exchange between countries, but this perception is actually wrong.
When a person lives or travels abroad, the country's embassy is actually the person's home. No matter what you do, you can talk to your family, and they will find a way to help you solve it.
However, it does not work for those who change their nationality.
When the car drove on the elevated road, Ye Kai sweated all the way, the two-lane car was driven into four lanes, Ye Kai could clearly see that he was only a dozen centimeters away from the other car outside the window.
It's definitely only a dozen centimeters, and more than twenty centimeters is considered a loss.
"Is this all the driving like this here?"
"It's normal to drive like this, we drive like this all the time, do you think the car is too close?"
Ye Kai watched the driver's eldest brother pass by a Bidia at a very fast speed, and nodded blankly: "Yes, it's too close." β
It's a bit scary to sit in a car here, and it's a car driven by an old driver, and you can find an angle to squeeze into any small gaps, and I'm afraid that this kind of driving strength can become a racing driver abroad.
"It's already far away. The driver said, "It's actually no problem to get closer, it's just that sometimes it scares you tourists, there is no car in Cairo that has no scratches, get used to it, this is Cairo, my China brother." β
Ye Kai was silent.
Looking at the buildings on the side of the road in Cairo all the way, most of the houses are not high, the whole body is yellow, and the road is also yellow, so at a glance, Cairo looks like a golden city.
One Thousand and One Nights there was a father who said to his son: "You have not seen the world until you have seen Cairo." β
Many people will think that this is just a wild talk from a country man who has not seen enough of the world, but after careful analysis, maybe this father is not talking about the grandeur of the city, but the history of the city?
Egyptian civilization originated from this piece of the Nile River, and the land that vehicles walk through today is actually the road that human beings walked thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago when civilization was in its infancy, and these primitive civilizations developed into the world today.
Half an hour later, the car entered the new town.
The traffic in Cairo is not flattering, and in addition to the crowded vehicles, there are countless pedestrians crossing the road.
Ye Kaiding's apartment is an international five-star hotel, located on the Nile River in Cairo's new city, which is no different from the environment in the big city, except for the pedestrians crossing the road.
He was a little bolder.
Pay the money and get off the bus, not far in front of you is the hotel that Ye Kai booked this time, and a little farther away is the famous Nile.
Cairo is home to 20 million people, which is about the same as China's first-tier cities, but only the 10 percent area around the Nile River is greener, and it is now planned as a new urban area, mainly for tourists from all over the world to Egypt.
Looking at the Nile, Ye Kai's old problem is committed, and I really want to go to the river to take a look now.
But it was not convenient to hold luggage in hand, carry a computer bag and a camera on your back, so I suppressed my desire for water and checked in at the Sri Carlton Hotel first.
Before coming, Ye Kai learned about hotels in Egypt.
Five-star hotels are divided into domestic five-star and international five-star, and the gap between the two will be very large, which Ye Kai plans to change hotels in two days to experience, and then tell fans through the travelogue.
As soon as he entered the hotel, Ye Kai felt a coolness, in addition to the air conditioner and humidifier in the lobby of this hotel, the environment here and the weather outside became a strong contrast.
Let the guests who come in feel indescribable comfort in an instant.
"Hello, I'm Mr Ye from Huaxia, and I ordered a room here through the Internet a day ago. β
"Please show your passport. β
Soon, Ye Kai took the room card and moved into a room on the seventeenth floor, the room was very large and the bed was very comfortable, but the first thing Ye Kai did when he entered the house was to turn on the air conditioner.
The air conditioner comes with a humidifying function.
This function is very practical in Egypt, Ye Kai has already discovered that there is nothing else that can be done in Egypt, but there must be sunscreen and moisturizer, after all, this is also Africa.
Before getting off the plane, Ye Kai washed his face on the plane, but after the security check and the half-hour drive, his skin was already dry, and if he continued to stay outside, his skin was likely to dry and crack.
Ye Kai has been to southern Africa, where the air is not as dry as Egypt's, although it is hot.
After taking a shower, Ye Kai put moisturizer on his face, and found a relatively large hat and long-sleeved clothes in his luggage...... Although the temperature is high, the clothing must cover the skin.
The reason is still the same as before, afraid of sunburn.
Pushing open the window of the hotel, the clear sky comes into view, and the Nile River is in front of you, which is not turbulent at all, like an old woman flowing quietly, full of kindness to life.
There are also some high-rise buildings on the other side of the river, but because of the high floor where Ye Kaizhu lives, you can still see the old city of Cairo in the distance. From this point of view, Cairo really looks like a city made of gold.
