474 [First Arrival in Chinatown]
Los Angeles, USA---
Because of the time difference, when Song Zhichao and the others took a plane to Los Angeles, it was already late at night.
After getting off the plane, there weren't many people around the airport.
As one of the once largest industrial cities and steel cities in the United States, Los Angeles looks a little cold in March.
There aren't many people at the huge airport, and there aren't too many high-rise buildings around the airport, but motels and fast-food hotels.
Song Zhichao asked Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong to pick up their luggage, went straight to the side of the road, and then waved to the American taxi drivers.
The taxi driver was an American fat man, who was taking a hamburger in the car and stuffing it into his mouth, and when he saw Song Zhichao waving, he didn't care about the hamburger stuffed in his mouth, making money was important, so he hurriedly put the food aside, licked the cream stained on his fingers, and then drove to Song Zhichao.
"Hey, man, are you Japanese, or Korean?" In this era, the most popular in the United States are the Japanese, followed by the Koreans, and the Chinese are behind.
Song Zhichao didn't answer, Jin Jiu pulled the car door--- he didn't understand what the fat driver was talking about, and let Song Zhichao get in the car.
Niu Xiong came to the back of the car with his luggage.
When the fat man saw that the three of them didn't care about him, he thought he was shrugging his shoulders very chicly, then got out of the car, opened the rear car cover, helped Niu Xiong put his luggage in, snapped the ground, covered the car cover, clapped his hands and said to Niu Xiong, "Where are you going?"
Niu Xiong, like Jin Jiu, was confused when he heard English, and he didn't know what this fat man was talking about.
"Oh, don't you know English? I ask you, where are you going?" said the fat man to Niu Xiong.
Niu Xiong: "......"
I really want to top this fat man's lungs.
In the car, Song Zhichao said, "Go to the Hilton Hotel." â
Fat man: "Hilton, God, it's a very high-end five-star hotel--- hey, if you know English, that's easy." â
As a driver, the most feared thing is that the guests don't understand English, and they don't understand their words, can't communicate, can't communicate, often talk to chickens and ducks, so that they make a lot of mistakes.
For example, once a fat man took a Japanese guest to a community in Los Angeles, because of communication difficulties, he finally went around in a big circle to deliver him to his destination, for which the Japanese guest finally complained to the Los Angeles taxi department, saying that he was stealing customers --- God, and the angel could prove that he John Phil was the most honest and kind taxi driver in Los Angeles.
got into the car, and the fat driver John Fell, like many taxi drivers, began to chatter with Song Zhichao, the only guy who knew how to speak English.
Song Zhichao chatted with him without a match, and when it came to the pop king Mike Jackson, the fat man John was excited, he took out a cassette tape from the car, stuffed it into the mount of the car player, and then said to Song Zhichao, "Look, man, I'm his most loyal fan!"
The cassette rang out, but it was Mike's blockbuster record "Dangerous" last year.
As soon as the album was released, it took the world by storm, causing countless fans to imitate it, sliding through spacewalks and shouting "Dangerous!"
"How's that, it's great--- God, I love this song so much!" Fat John slapped the steering wheel with his hand, humming Mike's song in his mouth, and constantly shaking his body, if it wasn't for driving, I'm afraid he would have jumped up long ago.
"It's a pity!" said Fat John suddenly, "I heard that Mike is going to prepare his global concert this year, and he will not release a record or accept any other activities. â
Behind, Song Zhichao, who was originally calm and relaxed, opened his eyes suddenly, "Concert?"
At this time, Song Zhichao remembered, yes, this year is 1992, and it is also one of Michael Jackson's most famous concert tours in the world, and the name seems to be called --- Dangerous Journey World Tour.
As a pop king, Mike attaches great importance to his concerts, in order to maintain a good physical and mental state, he devoted himself to the preparation of the concert at the beginning--- not to mention inviting him to endorse VCD commercials, it is estimated that it is difficult to even see him.
Sure enough, as if to verify Song Zhichao's guess, the fat man John said: "In order to prepare for this dangerous journey concert, I heard that dear Mike has been in retreat and practice, yes, no one has seen him, even his agent is difficult to see him! God, this is the way superstars treat fans, not like some other people, in order to make money, just open the airport casually and fool the audience!"
After hearing what the fat man John said, Song Zhichao suddenly spoke, "I'm sorry, can you turn a corner?"
"What?"
"If you don't go to the Hilton Hotel, please take us to Chinatown!" Song Zhichao said firmly.
......
Los Angeles, Chinatown---
Los Angeles Chinatown is connected to the old city of Los Angeles, located in the north of Sunset Boulevard, although it is not as famous as the Chinatown of New York and San Francisco, but it is one of the oldest Chinatowns in Europe and the United States.
The area of Chinatown stretches from Broadway to Bernard Street, with the quaint Chinatown archway as its signature, and Chinatown is usually home to many Chinese restaurants, shops and banks.
Now, although it is late at night, Chinatown is very lively, especially the antique buildings, and the red lanterns hanging on the eaves of the buildings, which make people feel as if they are back in Hong Kong, at least at this time Song Zhichao, Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong, who are standing at the intersection, think so in their hearts.
"Brother Chao, where are you going now?" Jin Jiu looked at Song Zhichao, who was standing still, and couldn't help but ask.
Next to him, Niu Xiong was carrying his luggage and also looked at Song Zhichao--- although these luggage were not too heavy for him, he couldn't bear to carry them like this all the time.
Song Zhichao glanced at the lively streets of Chinatown, mixed with blacks, whites, and yellows, but there are still many yellows, but some speak Cantonese, some speak Vietnamese, and some speak Japanese and Korean.
"Since it's late, let's find a place to stay first, and we'll talk about the details tomorrow. In fact, Song Zhichao had a plan in his heart, but he also knew that after a day on the plane, everyone was already very tired.
Where to stay?
It used to be a five-star hotel Hilton, but now I am temporarily running to this unfamiliar Chinatown, where is it safe to stay?
Song Zhichao walked along Chinatown with Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong for a while, and then his eyes were attracted by a signboard, only to see that the signboard was written on a huge red lantern, and there were three big characters on it---Zhonghua Building!"
