Chapter Ninety-Four: Los Santo
What is it like to fly on a $30,000 flight?
Jiang Chao is now qualified to answer this question.
After all, if you want to fly half the world, the destination is on the far side of the earth, the time is too long, and you have to reverse the jet lag, if you don't choose a comfortable flight and cabin, I'm afraid it's a hard thing.
Jiang Chao can endure hardship, but there is no need for hardship, Jiang Chao does not plan to eat it. And Jiang Chao was also very curious about what a flight worth 30,000 yuan was like, so he was a little willful.
After boarding this big plane, Jiang Chao learned that there was a difference between first class and first class.
Many domestic small aircraft business class is called first class, and the fake first class gives people a different experience, Jiang Chao, who has just boarded this 787, has experienced unparalleled luxury and comfort.
Spacious cabins, carpeted floors, and even a bar, bathroom, and dining room.
The blonde and blue-eyed personal housekeeper greeted her cordially and took Jiang Chao's suitcase to a large cabinet and put it away. In a place like an airplane, where land is at a premium, it is surprising that there are such large floor-to-ceiling cabinets. When Jiang Chao entered the "seat", he was once again impressed by the imagination of the airline.
Strictly speaking, this place can no longer be called a "seat". Doors that can be closed, seats to recline and sit in, three windows that can be used individually, and a multi-function monitor for both gaming and watching movies. The whole location was surprisingly spacious - it was nothing short of a small room. After Jiang Chao sat down, the beautiful personal butler squatted in front of Jiang Chao and carefully introduced the features and services of this flight.
Jiang Chao casually asked for a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, and then instructed the private butler not to disturb himself without special circumstances.
The housekeeper seemed to be surprised by Jiang Chao's request, nodded obediently and left. For those who can sit in such a luxurious first class, no matter what country they are in, they are undoubtedly the social elite. For them, the comfort of first class is of course important, but they value the privacy of the space more.
Jiang Chao adjusted the seat to lie flat mode, took the blanket and covered it casually, thinking that he was about to go to another country, where there was a culture that was very different from the environment he had been exposed to since he was a child, and his heart couldn't help but be slightly excited. After closing his eyes and resting for a while, Jiang Chao sat up again, excited and really couldn't sleep.
Jiang Chao turned on the monitor again, but whether it was a game or a movie, it really made Jiang Chao not interested.
After thinking about it, Jiang Chao pressed the call button. After more than ten seconds, the housekeeper stood at the door and asked softly, "Hello sir, what is your need?"
Jiang Chao opened the door, thought for a while and said, "Hmm...... I'm visiting L.A. for the first time, can you tell me about the city?"
Chatting with passengers is also one of the jobs of these "personal butlers". In addition to these tasks, they are also responsible for folding the quilts for the guests and even covering the quilts after falling asleep with their consent.
The housekeeper nodded obediently and showed a sweet smile: "Distinguished guest, it is an honor to introduce you to my hometown. ”
Jiang Chao was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Your hometown?
The housekeeper squatted down so that Jiang Chao could look at her from a condescending perspective before continuing: "Yes." So what do you want to know about Los Angeles?"
Jiang Chao thought for a while: "I went to Los Angeles to participate in the competition, if I can, I want to hear your advice on this." ”
"Competition?" the housekeeper couldn't help but ask, "Can you tell me what competition you are participating in?"
Jiang Chao said: "It's a piano competition. ”
When the housekeeper heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Piano Competition? Is it the Texas International Piano Competition?"
Jiang Chao nodded.
The housekeeper's expression suddenly became sincerely admired: "I heard that the first two rounds of the German Prize were scheduled in Los Angeles, oh my God! I didn't expect to meet a contestant here! This is really exciting...... Oh, I mean, I'm a fan of classical music too, and so are our whole family!"
Jiang Chao smiled slightly, serious music has a much larger audience abroad than in China, but Jiang Chao was not too surprised by the surprise of the housekeeper.
"Sit here, I'd like to hear you talk. Jiang Chao gave up his place to the housekeeper. There's plenty of space here to sleep two people on this "bed", but it's unclear whether the airline's design has other meanings.
The housekeeper hesitated, nodded and sat beside Jiang Chao.
"My name is Jiang Chao, what about you?"
"Jane, Mr. Jiang. ”
"Alright, Jane, tell me about the city. ”
So, she simply and seriously talked about what she knew about Los Angeles. Jiang Chao listened very carefully, asking one or two questions from time to time, and time passed minute by minute.
Jiang Chao and Jian chatted for more than an hour, and Jian looked at the time and asked obediently: "Mr. Jiang, it's dinner time, do you need to go and get the menu for you now?"
Jiang Chao felt that he was indeed a little hungry, so he nodded: "Yes." ”
So Jane carefully sorted out the place where she had sat before pushing the door open.
While waiting for Jane to pick up the menu, Jiang Chao looked out the window, a blue ocean, and occasionally some small islands that he didn't know what their names were. Even if he flew so high, he couldn't see the edge of the ocean, Jiang Chao couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, human beings are really small, and at the same time, he also gave birth to an inexplicable pride. The ancients would be at the top, and they didn't have such an artistic conception of overlooking the sea.
……
After a full 12-hour flight, the plane finally flew over Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is a globally renowned megacity. In the beautiful country, Los Angeles has fluctuated between second and third in the rankings, and in recent years, due to the population explosion, it has finally stabilized in second place.
However, in terms of area, Los Angeles is definitely number one.
Viewed from the plane, there are patches of bungalows, and only in the city center are there a handful of high-rise buildings.
Jane said: "This is because of the many earthquakes in Los Angeles, which makes it difficult to build high-rise buildings. Even the little high-rise buildings in the city center are built according to the standards of strong earthquake prevention, and the cost is much higher than that of ordinary high-rise buildings. ”
The vast majority of Los Angeles are bungalows or two-story buildings. As a result, the urban area of Los Angeles has become very large, not to mention, every house in Los Angeles has a large grassy area in front of the door, and a large yard in the back, which occupies a larger area.
It's a great place to travel. Movie Dream Factory, a paradise for chasing stars, if you don't like too many people, you can go to the observatory to see the stars, or you can go to Los Angeles University to go to the beach to blow the wind.
Jane said: "A two-hour drive in Los Angeles will see all kinds of things – sun, sand, waves, Gobi, cacti, there's something you like, and this is definitely the perfect place for you!"
Jiang Chao couldn't help but look forward to it.
