Chapter 137: Resentment Is Love (Part II)
After 15 hours, the plane landed at more than 3 o'clock in the morning Beijing time, Dublin has an eight-hour time difference between City B, and Dublin at 7 o'clock in the afternoon, and the nightlife has just begun.
Commander Chu distributed a local calling card in Dublin to everyone before the plane landed, because everyone's mobile phone brands and models are different, the original SIM card has to be trimmed through the card cutter before the card can be inserted and used. Sister Ming did this operation for me and Dr. Fan, and I couldn't help but admire her lightning speed and one-stop action.
The head of the delegation, Chu, led everyone out of the customs, there were too many people, walking and walking, and some people's heads were drowned in the tide full of people.
Dublin's international airport is bustling at night, and a group of Chinese chattering in a foreign country is particularly eye-catching. Everyone was so tired that they couldn't stretch their bodies and had to queue up to get their suitcases. English is the Chinese language of Ireland, which makes me a little relieved, and I still know the basic words such as "toilet" and "passport". But in fact, Sister Ming and Dr. Fan's English is even better, after all, they are people who have been abroad, and they follow the two of them all the way, and they hardly have to worry about themselves.
I want to open WeChat and report safety to my family who is already on the other side of the world, but Sister Ming's pace is too fast, and in order to keep up with it and not get lost, I don't have the time to play with my phone anymore. When the book is used, I hate it, but it is indeed better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles. Even though I have done countless psychological construction for myself before going out, when I am really in a foreign country, and before I leave the airport, I feel a sense of strangeness and alienation, people come and go, all kinds of skin colors and languages, everything is in a trance, all telling me: this place does not belong to you.
This place would never have belonged to me.
After a hint of discouragement, I reluctantly gave myself some encouragement.
Under the leadership of Dr. Fan and Sister Ming, we successfully went through the customs, got the luggage, and then went to the designated place to go to the station.
There are still some Kochi people who have suffered some setbacks at the airport, lost luggage, can't find a toilet, physical discomfort, communication barriers between Chinese English and Irish English, and everyone has a little impatience and displeasure after a series of problems.
These people are pampered in the country, they are treated with courtesy, and they are high-ranking officials and generous, and at this time, they are a lot more decadent.
While waiting for the gathering, I still reported to my family that I was safe, and as expected, everyone, including Mr. Ouyang, quickly replied to me. "They haven't rested yet, just to wait for the news of my safety......" I carried my luggage and went to the exit hall, looking at the night sky outside the window, there were no stars and no moon, so there was no Li Bai's "Silent Night Thoughts", but I still missed my hometown when I looked down.
The guide says that Ireland has a typical Mediterranean climate, with sunny sunshine and abundant rainfall, and even in winter there are long periods of sunshine and sudden snow.
When I was on the plane and Sister Ming enthusiastically sharing the Irish customs I searched, Dr. Fan said coldly, "Wear more, or you will regret it." ”
When the bus finally stopped in the square and we walked outdoors collectively, a demonic wind suddenly blew the scarf around the neck, and the wheels of the suitcase went straight around, and an evil spirit poured into the body, which made people shiver.
"Mom, Northwest Wind?!" Sister Ming instantly hid at the back of the crowd and screamed exaggeratedly. Indeed, her outfit was the most airy in the group. Originally, everyone praised her for being young, but now I understand, young people can't bear the freezing of the first day in Ireland.
Sister Ming sneezed and got into the car with us, and everyone laughed at her for not expecting the horse to stumble, but in fact, this is a group of middle-aged and elderly people's poor self-comfort. When people reach a certain age, they like to be good teachers, and they use their seemingly rich but shallow life experience to admonish this and criticize that, and even more so for the new generation of children. They always think that they occupy the commanding heights of truth, and that all their words and deeds must be affirmed, respected, and even admired.
For example, if he feels cold, you have to feel cold too. He thinks that if you love demeanor and don't love temperature, you must be young and young who doesn't care about your body.
I brought a shawl and a thermos cup with me, and as soon as I saw her sneezing, I immediately took them out and put them on for her.
The person who came to pick her up was a little blonde girl, so enthusiastic that she seemed to hug the veneers with everyone in the car. Head Chu introduced her as Rachel, the contact person of the foreign side this time, and she introduced the customs of Dublin and our next destination in bits and pieces of Chinese and fluent English. Tonight we will stay in a hotel in the city, and tomorrow we will be sent to different work, living and study units according to different industries. There are many local Dublin families who have signed up to host this mysterious group of visitors from the distant kingdoms of the East.
Everyone was tired, so they were all sleepy. Fortunately, the foreign party did not immediately arrange for us to go to dinner or visit and study, but respected our willingness to go back to the hotel to sleep. "Nothing matters, if you want to starve to death, you have to starve to death in your sleep...... Sister Ming said.
Although the foreigners booked our dining place in the hotel, no matter how delicious the food is, it can't attract everyone who is tired at this moment.
Half an hour after the drive, everyone arrived at the hotel, and with the assistance of the staff, continued to take out their passports and other documents to check in. The hotel is a two-person room, and Sister Ming and I naturally became roommates. After Dr. Fan helped us carry our luggage in, we quickly went back to rest.
Everyone is very tired, even Sister Ming, who is often excited, is so tired that she can't do it. It seems that for the first time in my life, I didn't brush my teeth and wash my face, didn't take a shower, didn't pack my luggage, and didn't check the hotel facilities and hygiene.
The two didn't say much, hurriedly took out their pajamas, said "good night" to each other, and immediately fell asleep.
Exhaustion invades every pore of the body, leaving no time for anything else. Mother's life-threatening chain, Luo Shaoqian's repeated inquiries on WeChat, Tu Tu used the milky voice sent by Zhang Xiuran's mobile phone, lay on the bed and swiped his mobile phone twice, and he didn't know when, so he fell asleep.
I heard that many rooms were screaming this night, which caused frequent complaints from some travelers. After the phone was connected to the Internet, the date and time were automatically synchronized, and I opened my eyes dimly when the sun was shining through the gaps in the curtains. I opened my phone and looked, oh ho, I slept for eleven or twelve hours!
