Volume II Nesting 54 Sentosa Island
At 6:30 a.m. on December 12, Chen Xing had already arrived at the restaurant. Due to the eating habits of Russian and Chinese people, breakfast is divided into white porridge, steamed bread series and bread and milk series, which is simple and convenient, plus a 7-day holiday, there are not many people who get up early to eat. Chen Xing simply drank a bowl of porridge, ate two steamed buns, and came to the deck.
The sky is cloudy, and the continuous light rain has been pouring down non-stop, it is the rainy season in Singapore, and I don't know when it will stop, although it does not affect travel, but watching in the rain is not suitable for all attractions after all.
"It seems that today's travel plan is going to be adjusted, Tianfu Palace will not go for the time being, and those items listed on the list will be purchased separately in a few days. Chen Xing thought in his heart.
Looking carefully at the travel guide in his hand, Chen Xing determined the travel plan for the two days.
On December 12, Sentosa Island, you can play for a day, the attractions are concentrated, and there is no restriction on rainy weather. On December 13th, I will go to Thien Hok Palace in the morning to offer incense, then Little India, Arab Street, Holland Village, and then go to the Night Safari in the evening, which is another day.
At 7:30, Ivan, Lao Pan and the little ghost also packed up and came to the deck, listened to Chen Xing's arrangements for the past two days, and had no objections, everyone found an umbrella and set off.
The rest of the crew was to depart at 8:00 a.m., and with a guide, they went to Orchard Road yesterday afternoon, where shopping is mainly done. Today they are going to go to Arab Street and Little India first, and then also go on a night safari in the evening. It seems that Chen Xing has the potential for travel planning, and on the premise of considering the weather factors, the designed routes are consistent with those of professional tour guides.
Chen Xing and the four of them took a taxi to the harbor and took a ferry to Sentosa Island. Bought a ticket to enter the entrance and look at this tropical tourist and leisure destination, surrounded by blue waters surrounded by a variety of colorful tropical trees and flowers, the island also has a variety of entertainment facilities and leisure activities, under the management of Singaporeans, clean and tidy, lush green environment, manicured gardens, musical fountains, all the details are pleasant and relaxing.
Chen Xing said to everyone: "This is the most beautiful and tidy city I have ever seen, there is no one. Although the scenery of Seychelles is also extremely beautiful, the cultural environment is much worse, and it is purely the beauty of nature. Singapore is a perfect combination of natural environment and humanistic architecture, coupled with the basic quality of the Chinese people, giving Singapore a unique charm, no wonder it is currently the most livable country in the world. ”
Ivan and Lao Pan also nodded frequently, admiring, and the little ghost was a little confused, after all, there were still few countries he had visited, and there was not much comparison, but he was simply intoxicated by the beautiful scenery.
They visited the Siloso Battery, built by the British colonists to protect ships entering and leaving the port of Singapore, and also saw the beautiful, romantic and thrilling underwater world and dolphin paradise.
"The underwater world is so beautiful that we can't feel it at sea, but the dolphins here are not as beautiful and spectacular as the Aristotle saw when she fished in the Indian Ocean." ”
made everyone laugh, can it be the same, one is just dozens of poor little guys who are kept in captivity in a corner, losing their freedom, and making people happy. And in the vast Indian Ocean, that is the countless natural spirits that cheer and gallop thousands of miles, whether in terms of numbers or spiritual outlook, there is no comparison at all.
Lao Pan touched the little ghost's head dotingly and said, "Silly boy, you're quite picky." ”
There is also a food center on the island, and everyone has another big meal at noon. This time, I mainly eat seafood and barbecue, but the price is much more expensive than yesterday, and the price in this tourist area is a bit high.
Lao Pan and Ivan wanted to settle the bill, but they were stopped by Chen Xing. I've been taking everyone around for a few days, and I'm going to be responsible for all the expenses, but now I can afford it. Seeing that he couldn't rob Chen Xing, Ivan and Lao Pan didn't fight anymore, but secretly wrote down this friendship, as for the little ghost, he was still young, these people are sophisticated, and they have to slowly understand.
In the afternoon, everyone came to the Merlion Tower on Sentosa, the 37-meter-high Merlion Tower is one of Singapore's tourism symbols, standing on the top of the tower, presenting a 360-degree unobstructed view in front of them, although it is raining lightly, the four of them still clearly enjoy the beautiful scenery of Singapore and the surrounding islands.
However, the next attraction, the Sky Tower, made the four of them feel that it is the best choice for a bird's-eye view from above. From the highest observation deck in Singapore, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Singapore, and in the distance, the land of Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia will come into view. Is this the so-called One Tower and Three Kingdoms? Where else in the world can do that?
When passing by the Sentosa Island casino, Chen Xing wanted to take everyone to see it, in fact, in addition to him and the little ghost, Lao Pan and Ivan are no strangers to casinos, and they have been there several times around the world, but they are not addicted to it. But today, the four of them were all dressed in casual clothes, and the casino was not allowed to enter, which made Chen Xing a little regretful, it seems that the suit was bought earlier, and it can be used on many occasions. At the same time, he also wanted to try how effective his Heavenly Eye Perception was here, maybe it was also a way to make money. His idea is a bit off-track!
After dark, the island is fully lit up, illuminating the landscape and buildings everywhere. The musical fountain is illuminated by the lights, like a dream, and the showmanship is extraordinary. Bars and food halls can be found everywhere on the shore of the beach, and the soothing music accompanies the fluttering rain, enveloping the whole island, setting off the characters and the scenery, which is very attractive.
For a moment, Chen Xing felt nostalgic and wanted to have a home of his own in this beautiful small country. He sighed lightly, and silently recited in his heart: "Such a beautiful scenery, you must bring your family and Mingyue to enjoy and experience it again." ”
Dinner was eaten back to the city, the same Cantonese-owned tea restaurant that Chen Xing ate before Chen Xing made a phone call and returned to the ship the day before yesterday. I felt that the Hainan chicken rice and bak kut teh there were not bad, so Chen Xing took everyone to taste them again. I ordered a lot of stir-fried vegetables and seafood fried rice to fill the stomachs of the three young men, Lao Pan still didn't eat much, and he seemed to know how to maintain health.
The travel is still very hard, everyone is tired, there is no word all night, and they all go to bed early.
On December 12, the four of them continued the tour according to yesterday's plan. In one day, I saw a lot of folklore architectural areas, and it was already 10 p.m. when I returned to the Aristotle from the night safari. As soon as they arrived on the ship, Chen Xing and Captain Pan were called to Captain Yao Yulao's room, where Captain Vasily, Russian Chief Engineer, Manager Wu, and Acting Liu Tingchao were already there.
Seeing that the personnel arrived, Yao Yulao was not polite, and said directly: "I received a bad news half an hour ago, in the past few days, several ships in our fleet have also had serious machine breakage failures, and after the preliminary inspection of the chief engineer of each ship, many key machine parts of each ship have reached the point of needing to be overhauled or replaced. After careful consideration by the company, it was decided that the remaining 6 ships would also rush to Singapore in the past few days, taking advantage of the fact that the Taiwan technical team was here to inspect and overhaul in a unified manner. ”
Glancing at Manager Wu, Captain Yao Yulao continued: "Our three-day inspection, under the leadership of Manager Wu, with the cooperation of Chief Engineer and Captain Vasily, is faster than expected, and it is estimated that it will be completed tomorrow morning." Liu Tingchao has already contacted it, and he can pull it into the shipyard for shelving in the afternoon, and he can know the approximate maintenance time the day after tomorrow. At that time, we will communicate with the company about the next work arrangement, whether it is a holiday for everyone to go back to visit relatives, or other arrangements, depending on the company's decision. Calling everyone here today is to have a mental preparation, Singapore's 7-day holiday may change, the day after tomorrow will be the result, and I will inform you when the time comes. ”
Looking at everyone's disappointed expressions, Manager Wu raised his tone and said: "Don't worry too much, the company will carefully consider and decide, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you will take everyone to continue to visit Singapore, don't hit everyone's morale, after the ship is repaired, we will continue to go to sea to fish, money is not earned in a day, and the future will be long!"
No one can change the fact of repairing ships, even if Chen Xing's ability is abnormal, he is not an immortal, and he can't turn all 7 ships into new ones.
On December 13th, only Ivan and the little ghost followed the group to continue the tour, Lao Pan was reluctant to move, rested on the boat, and Chen Xing came to Chinatown alone to purchase the planned items.
The basic daily necessities and outdoor products are almost all purchased, especially outdoor products, under the guidance of a senior outdoor enthusiast shop owner, mountains, seas, deserts, forests, and sky...... Basically, the equipment required for the all-weather environment is not left behind. But the dollars spent also made Chen Xing feel distressed, and the more than 10,000 dollars on his body could only buy the most basic and ordinary products, and those high-end products were definitely not enough.
Asking the shopkeeper to help pull things to a secluded place on the docks, Chen Xing pondered.
Looking at the things piled up like a hill, he was a little annoyed and a little distressed. "This is something worth more than 100,000 yuan, in 1995 in my hometown town, I could buy 3 or 4 sets of two-bedroom commercial houses, am I a bit wasteful, is this right? Can I really use these things in the future?" Chen Xing couldn't help but secretly ask himself, there was no cash on him, which always made him insecure.
Thinking about it again, Mingyue still has $50 million there, which he can use at will, and Chen Xing feels a little more comfortable.
The dock is a very secluded place, surrounded by sheltered buildings, it should be the back of an infrequently used warehouse, and it is a special place for Chen Xing to go out in the morning. After observing that there was still no one around, Chen Xing waved his left hand at the pile of items, and the thing disappeared. Using his divine sense to perceive the space in the ring, it only occupied a corner, Chen Xing smiled with satisfaction, it was too powerful.
Touching the deflated wallet again, Chen Xing reluctantly took out the little shark skin bag, threw it in his hand up and down, and said to himself: "Let's go to Chinatown again, see how many dollars these can be worth, don't let me down, or you have to ask Mingyue for money, there are still a lot of things that I haven't bought, and those are even more expensive." ”
