Chapter 359: One by one
Driving through the streets of Beirut, Yang Meng felt that this was a place full of contradictions.
Armed soldiers, checkpoints and armored vehicles, and buildings full of bullet holes or broken walls are everywhere, but it's no surprise that there are many young people in luxury cars and fashionable clothes walking the streets, and they are not at all nervous about the gun-wielding patrol.
"Brother Yang, let me tell you. Don't be nervous. Zhang Wei drove the car with an excited face: "When I first came here, I was shocked to see this posture, but then I figured it out, you can treat this as a time to hold a large-scale event in China, those policemen with guns are patrol police, and those armored cars are domestic police cars." β
"Can this be the same?" Yang Meng complained.
Zhang Wei said: "What's the difference? Although there was a large-scale demonstration just a few days ago, Beirut is very safe. After all, so many soldiers are not here? This Lebanon is known as the 'powder keg of the Middle East', and there are constant wars every day, so today it is not news that the dead are dead in the border area, but the undead are news, but it is the border area that does not affect Beirut. "Tight in front, tight in rear" is like this, the daily life of the common people here is not affected, just like the Starlight Plaza we are going to, even if it is the commercial center of Beirut, all kinds of big-name luxury goods can be bought there! The common people still have to live their lives! The two sects live in harmony, and compared with the border areas, this is paradise. β
Yang Meng said 'um': "I can see it, but I suggest you drive carefully, although this car is not afraid of collisions, but you also let me pinch a cold sweat when you drive." Don't let me die in a car accident in 'heaven' without being shot or killed. β
Beirut is not a 'little Paris of the Middle East', even the traffic conditions are similar, and the roads are called a poor!
No, this is definitely an insult to Paris, it's okay outside of Beirut, at least in Beirut, this is the worst urban traffic Yang Meng has ever seen, and the road planning is extremely poor! Drive for ten minutes and get stuck in traffic for an hour! But even so, people here will choose to drive out, is it for peace of mind?
Zhang Wei explained: "Brother Yang, I really don't blame me, the cars here are generally as small as possible, this thing is too big!"
"The car is big, it's obvious that your driving skills are too poor, okay? Yang Meng retorted without hesitation.
The two of them finally arrived at Starlight Square after three checks, the key is that Yang Meng's clothes are very powerful, and the general inventory process is: stop for inspection------ Han people ?------- pretend to check it------ let's take a group photo?
Even Yang Meng's parking space was arranged for them by a policeman, and the best thing was that the police dragged Yang Meng and refused to leave after arranging the parking place, so they had to exchange their police uniforms with Yang Meng's sportswear, saying that this was a 'testimony of friendship'.
Yang Meng didn't know if it was a 'witness of friendship', but Yang Meng knew that he was indeed eyeing his sportswear!
Yang Meng didn't feel sorry for his clothes, after all, a set of dozens of treasures, Yang Meng brought a lot of them when he came out, so he directly pretended to go to the back compartment to rummage, and took out a new set of gifts to him, and as for his camouflage uniform, forget it. Although he looked very good, Yang Meng still rejected his kindness when he saw the two large lumps of sweat stains on his armpits.
As a result, the policeman was good, but Yang Meng's gift was directly put on the street and he took a group photo with him. Many people stopped to watch. And when Yang Meng came back, the scene he saw was even funnier------ that guy was wearing a fiery plum blossom tracksuit, wearing a beret and carrying a gun on duty there, fortunately this was not a war time, otherwise he would have to be a target.
What happened to the Ministry of Health in Lebanon was even more interesting: it was the private security guards who were in charge of the security checks at the entrance to the Ministry of Health building in Lebanen, not the police or the military.
Yang Meng didn't understand why, and finally Zhang Wei told him the answer: It turned out that the government office building in Lebanon had long been destroyed because of the war, and now the so-called 'government office building' is actually a private property, and various government offices in Lebanon have rented houses here to work, and they have to pay a lot of rent every year.
That's weird enough.
But Yang Meng and the others pounced again, it turned out that they took the approval slip and left, and they went to the slum called 'Bekaa Valley' in the east of Beirut to go to the free clinic.
This Nima is too good to run, right?
Speaking of which, Libanon is really not big, and the total land area of the entire country is only one-third the size of Guilin, and it is not even as big as Chengdu. It takes five or six hours to drive from north to south, and two or three hours from east to west. But in such a small place, Yang Meng couldn't find Liu Pianpian and them, and Yang Meng was angry and had a liver ache.
And Yang Meng really wants to apologize for complaining about the quality of service of Gallic civil servants, which is on the side of Beirut, Yang Meng's first thought is Paris------ Paris is much stronger than thisγγγγγγ!
Zhang Wei told Yang Meng that this is because there is one thing in Lebanon that is beyond the reach of all developed countries: there are 18 recognized religions here, and all of them have a place in the government! What is peace and freedom? Look at the people of Lebanen! What kind of party and religion will come to power together!
Can someone do things for the people in such a chaotic government?
All Yang Meng's patience has been exhausted by the chaotic traffic and inkblot government workers, and such a small country is governed like this, Yang Meng wants to scold the street now.
As for what Liu Pianpian, go to the special one, let Lao Tzu come to you by himself! Lao Tzu is not a parent of a habitual bear child!
He just wanted to call and scold Liu Shaoshan to vent his anger, but Zhang Wei said to Yang Meng with a sneer: "Brother Yang, are we still looking for it?"
"Huh?" Yang Meng looked at Zhang Wei: "What do you mean?"
Zhang Wei smiled: "Why don't you go to our university to have a look? Anyway, it's not a shame to be idle? Brother Yang, don't say that I lied to you, it's right to pick up my sister to come to Beirut, it's a flirtatious one." Of course, you have to look at it, you want to talk about the Westernized ones and not the black-robed ones, so do you know where the most Westernized ones are? Of course, we are AUB! The families who went to school in AUB are very good. Many high-ranking officials from countries throughout the Middle East and the world have graduated here, and their children have also gone to school here. It's definitely a great place. β
Yang Meng looked at Zhang Wei with disdain: "How many have you flirted?"
Zhang Wei said proudly: "Am I being teased? β
"Blow!" Yang Meng didn't believe Zhang Wei's words.
Zhang Wei spread his hands: "Believe it or not, if you really don't believe me, you will understand! Women here especially like Han men, you go to AUB with me for a walk, I guarantee that you can meet countless people who take the initiative to talk to you, there are not many Han people in that school, so I am also a sweetheart." However, the gap between us and other people's wealth is a bit big, and I am a natural hard-nosed person, so I didn't choose them. β
"The gap between the rich and the poor is a bit big, what do you mean? There are a lot of rich people in Beirut?" Yang Meng asked puzzled.
Zhang Wei nodded: "Brother Yang, there is a gap between the rich and the poor in any country in this world, but I have never seen such a big gap between the rich and the poor as here in Beirut, you see that the Starlight Plaza where we are located is full of luxury stores, and there are rich people who spend a lot of money here, you think, even their government has to rent private houses for office, you know what the rich here are like, right? In fact, because Libano is the most westernized place in the entire Middle East, especially Beirut, which is not open to the public, and it is casual to drink or drink, those rich people in the Middle East can be found here because of various precepts in their own country, so this is also a resort for the rich people in the Middle East, and there are more rich people here!"
Yang Meng was speechless when he heard this: "Those rich people from the Middle East are all running here to play?"
"Yes, they are all Arabic-speaking countries, how comfortable is it to come here to play?" Zhang Wei said: "Let me tell you, don't look at the traces of war everywhere in Libanen, but the nightlife here is definitely the richest, I am afraid that only Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen can compare with here, many people here are crazy to play until three or four o'clock in the morning, and then sleep for a while to go to work and school and then continue to enjoy life at night, always feel that they regard every day as the last day of their lives." They're all having a great time. Okay, Brother Yang, if you can't find it, you won't look for it, let's go to AUB and have fun!"
Yang Meng glanced at it: "You want to show off this car, right?"
"Hahahaha!" Zhang Wei laughed: "That's it! Brother Yang, let my classmates see our country's ruthless car! Just go to my school with you and ensure star treatment!"
Seeing that Yang Meng was a little moved, he continued: "You said that it is useless for you to look for that medical aid organization everywhere, you follow them, what if you go to them and go somewhere else? β
Yang Meng patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder: "Okay, you said you moved me!
"You are really my brother!" Zhang Weile took the key: "Or I'm driving!"
After a lot of traffic jams, an hour later, they finally arrived at the gate of AUB University, which has a history of 150 years, but Yang Meng looked at Zhang Wei with a smile and wanted to see what he was going to do: the school gate was open, but it was stopped by the doorman, and he was not allowed to enter without a pass.
Yang Meng watched Zhang Wei get out of the car and constantly explain to the doorman, and showed him Yang Meng's documents, and then took the phone and didn't know who to call, after a long time, an old man came out of the school to explain to the doorman in person, and then held Yang Meng's hand and greeted and smiled, Yang Meng didn't understand at all, but the car still drove in!
"I said Zhang Wei, what did you tell them?" Yang Meng looked puzzled.
Zhang Wei grinned: "I said that you are a lecturer of Han culture specially invited by me." β
"Fuck you, uncle!"
