The simplest proof is that the current Stars and Stripes visas are valid for 10 years, and those who hold the Stars and Stripes visas can enter and leave the Stars and Stripes at will within 10 years, and can stay for up to half a year at a time. This was unimaginable earlier, when you had to sign every time you went, and the trouble was to die.

When Xiao Peng appeared at San Francisco International Airport, I am afraid that the people who are most familiar with him will not recognize him at a glance.

Now he wears hiking shoes, wears big sunglasses, carries a large backpack, and is a living image of a traveler. Xiao Peng watched the Stars and Stripes movies all day long, and dared to go out on a trip with a hitchhike, and he wanted to give it a try.

The reason why he chose to start from San Francisco is simple, Xiao Peng wants to walk along the Stars and Stripes Highway.

Stars and Stripes Highway 1 is one of the must-see attractions in a lifetime by National Geographic and the most popular road trip route in North America.

Unlike the desolate and vast 'Stars and Stripes Highway' in my impression, Highway 1 is sunny all the way to the sea, and the towns and national parks along the way make it more than just a monotonous view of the sea. Some people say that this highway exists to make people understand a truth: the destination is sometimes not so important, and the scenery along the way will make you want to linger.

If you want to take Highway 1 by car, you must go from north to south, that is, from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Because the highway in this direction is close to the shoreline, on the other hand, most of the observation decks on the side of the road cannot be stopped, Xiao Peng only has 1,000 US dollars in cash in his pocket, although he is carrying his American Express card, but Xiao Peng is also guilty of bullishness, and has to choose the way of travel by foot and car. After getting a Verizon mobile phone card, Xiao Peng went straight to the road.

The reason for applying for a mobile phone card is the card with the best signal coverage in the Stars and Stripes country at present, and Xiao Peng is also counting on it to check Google Maps to find the best ride point.

The good thing about it turned out was that some things in the Stars and Stripes were not deceiving. Like hitchhiking. Hitchhiking is not common in China, but in the country of Stars and Stripes, it seems to be a kind of culture, Xiao Peng stood on the side of the road, stopped the car as he walked, and really let him take a car.

It is a Ford F150 that is very common in the Stars and Stripes, where people have a soft spot for pickups, the sales list of Ford F series, Chevrolet pickups, and Dodge's RAM pickups occupy the top three all year round, thanks to the life culture of the Stars and Stripes, do everything like to do it yourself, whether it is to build a house or do the countryside have to do it yourself, plus the love of the Stars and Stripes people for outdoor sports, usually pull a speedboat or something, pickup trucks can both pull goods and carry people, strong power and even off-road pickup trucks have become the first choice for Stars and Stripes people to buy cars。 This is diametrically opposed to China, where many urban roads in China do not allow pickup trucks to pass, and some areas will limit the load tonnage. Therefore, even if the F150 is sold to China, the rear compartment will be covered with a lid, and it will not be sold as a pickup truck, otherwise, the car will have to be affixed with reflective strips on the butt before it can be put on the road.

Let Xiao Peng hitchhike are two young people, both surfing enthusiasts, the tall blonde is called Candi, the brown hair is shorter called Jenny, the skin color of the two is a piece of red, at first glance, they are often exposed to the sun, after the white person lets the sun, the skin color will turn red, so in the country of stars and stripes, there is also a proprietary insulting word for white people, that is, 'red neck', which means almost referring to the white poor ghost. The trunk in the back of their car was loaded with surfboards and stuff, and the car was stuffed to the brim.

Despite this, he was still very enthusiastic to let Xiao Peng take a ride. However, their destination is not far away, surfing at Half Moon Bay State Beach near San Francisco.

Jenny doesn't like to talk much, and Candy is a talker, especially when Xiao Peng takes off his hat and sunglasses, and when he hears that Xiao Peng is a Chinese, Candy has more words: "Wow, Xiao, you are the most Chinese I have ever seen in the spirit of the Stars and Stripes, did you escape?"

"hat" Xiao Peng's eyes widened, and he looked at Candy in confusion.

So along the way, Xiao Peng explained to Kandi that China is not a fascist dictatorship, and the Chinese people are not all working in sweatshops, and that Tibet's history and Tibet have always been an inseparable part of China, not because of China's proximity to Tibet and their initiative to bully Tibet.

As for the question that the Huaxia people are stealing the jobs of the people of the Stars and Stripes in some way, Xiao Peng did not refute it. You Mi people are lazy and the boss is unwilling to hire you, so it's our fault?

All in all, Xiao Peng found out that many people in the Stars and Stripes really don't care about other countries at all, and some of Candi's problems made Xiao Peng cry and laugh.

For example, Candy asked him, "Do you have any TV shows in Huaxia that are similar to "Stars and Stripes"?" Xiao Peng replied honestly: "Of course, we do." Candi: "That's the only place you can vote, right?" Xiao Peng: "!@#?!¥?!?%"

This is the Stars and Stripes, a bunch of guys with nostrils on top of their heads。。。。。。

Xiao Peng did not go to Half Moon Bay State Beach with Candy, but to the Pigeon Point Lighthouse, which is not far from it, and when he got off the bus, Xiao Peng took a group photo with the two, and he wanted to record what he saw and heard along the way for memories.

After breaking up with the two, Xiao Peng came to the Pigeon Point Lighthouse.

Pigeon Point is the tallest lighthouse on the Pacific coastline of the Stars and Stripes and is still in use today. A white lighthouse and a small white wooden house stand alone on the promontory.

Pigeon Point Lighthouse is an old lighthouse.

It was established in 1872. Or the ancient method of kerosene lamps and lenses to illuminate is used. The lights on the lighthouse have a total of 984 lenses, 24 bull's eye lenses, and a total weight of four tons! And all the lenses are made in Paris, France. When in use, it flashes white every 10 seconds, and it is visible for 24 miles! The first light source here was animal oil, then kerosene, then electricity, and now it is an automatic light. But for more than 100 years, no matter how advanced science and technology, this lighthouse has been in use.

It's a pity that when Xiao Peng came, it was closed to the public due to natural damage, and it turned out that it was free to visit.

After leaving a lot of photos here, Xiao Peng did not take a ride and continued on the road, but continued along the coastline in the direction of Half Moon Bay. There is a bay between the two, through which you can directly see the side of Half Moon Bay.

However, although it looks close, it is really not close to walk, it is nearly five kilometers away, but Xiao Peng is not in a hurry, he walks around with a backpack, and soon comes to Half Moon Bay State Beach.

It is said that the coastline here is really beautiful, but unlike the coastline of Qindao, where Xiao Peng's house is located, there are strong winds and waves here. After all, the Stars and Stripes are not like China, there is no continental shelf sea similar to the Yellow Sea to buffer the wind and waves, but the Pacific Ocean winds and waves are directly coming. Because of this, along the coastline of California, there are some small towns that are particularly suitable for surfing------ and the waves here are really strong.

Xiao Peng just came here and saw a group of people looking at the coastline with a nervous face, there were men and women, Xiao Peng saw that Jenny was also standing there, but the expression on his face was more anxious. Xiao Peng followed their gaze, there was nothing special, there were just people surfing in the sea in the distance.

"Jenny, what are you looking at?" Xiao Peng asked, walking over.

Jenny saw that it was Xiao Peng: "Oh, Xiao, damn it! Candy is surfing with people now!"

Xiao Peng shrugged his shoulders: "Then it's better than you, why are you so nervous? Don't you all say you're a good surfer? I thought the people of Stars and Stripes liked to compete. "He's still unhappy about the dispute between him and Candy on the road.

"Shit competition!" Jenny froze, "It's a surf duel! Oh my god, this stupid Candy." ”

Xiao Peng was stunned: "Surf duel? What does this mean? What is going on here?"

Jenny was probably also nervous, and explained to Xiao Peng: "Candy and 'Dog Tail' Simpson quarreled, and the two of them used their surfboards as bets, and the two of them went to the same big wave at the same time, which is very dangerous here. The three most basic safety rules for surfing are: first, don't put your surfboard facing the direction of the incoming wave at any time, second, don't be in the crash zone, which is the range of white waves, and third, keep a certain distance from other people! But you see Candy, who is in the crash zone right now, and is so close to Simpson, this is too dangerous. ”

Jenny seemed to be too nervous, and he didn't talk much along the way, but now he was talking desperately, as if he could calm his emotions by speaking: "Xiao, you Chinese people don't know if you don't play surfing, like the big waves they are about to conquer now, if you miss, the consequences are very dangerous." Falling from a big wave feels like falling down from a three-story building, and then you will feel like you are being swallowed by a waterfall, it feels like going through a waterfall, if you fall into the water in a deep sea area like this, the most dangerous thing is that your hands and feet will be restrained, and the whole person will be pulled by a surfboard like a puppet, after all, all surfers will wear a foot rope to link the ankle and the surfboard, which can use the buoyancy of the surfboard to save people's lives, but it also brings danger. When dragged around at the bottom of the sea, a person's body may go through a lot of crazy twisting movements: the surfboard can hit a person, the belt may be damaged, and the end result may be to wash a person deeper into the ocean. A lot of surfers get injured or even die because of it!"

In particular, who said that the Chinese people don't know about surfing? Lao Tzu's witchcraft will abuse you all over the audience, do you believe it?

However, seeing that Jenny was so nervous, Xiao Peng still comforted him and said: "Jenny, don't worry, isn't Kandi a surfer? ”

", my Huaxia brother!!I've known him for so many years, I don't know what level he is? He's confident, he's got hellish self-confidence!" Jenny yelled.

Xiao Peng asked puzzledly: "Since surfing is so dangerous, why do you still surf?"

When Jenny heard this question, his face was full of pride: "This is a fashionable extreme sport, and what is pursued is this kind of thrill between life and death, which is not something that you conservative Chinese people can understand。。。。。 Oh Shet!"

When Jenny and Xiao Peng were chatting, they didn't forget to stare at the shore, and before he finished his sentence, Candy was already engulfed by the waves。。。。。。 ()
