"Xiao Peng, if you eat British food, you must drink a bitter beer. Hua Tian pointed to the wine glass in front of Xiao Peng.

When it comes to beer, perhaps the most common thing that comes to mind is German beer, which is famous for the fact that every year visitors from all over the world flock to Germany to taste the wine.

But when it comes to the degree of love for beer, Britain is the second in the world, and no one dares to say first. It is said that one side of the water and soil raises the other side, and the 'water' that raises the British is beer. The British love to drink. If you say something nice, it's called binge, and if you say it, the people of the whole country are drunkards.

And the favorite beer of the British people is the ale beer, which is also bitter beer. This beer can be called the quintessence of the United Kingdom, and at the British Oktoberfest, bitter beer will always be the king of beer without suspense.

This bitter beer was originally a substitute for traditional ale, the biggest feature is that the alcohol content is low, it can be fermented in a few days, as Xiao Peng, who is used to drinking Tsingtao beer, has no love for this non-foaming low-degree bitter beer, but there is no doubt that in the UK, almost no one does not love this beer.

Unlike other liquors, the British believe that the best tasting bitter beer has an alcohol content of less than 4.2%, in other words, the best is also the least strong.

After Xiao Peng tasted it, he finally figured out that British chefs can make the worst food in the world, and it's all because drinking bitter beer has broken his tongue!

To his surprise, Hua Ming looked like he was enjoying himself, eating British food and drinking bitter beer at the same time.

"Uh, Huaming, is it okay for you to drive for a while and drink beer?

Hua Ming said with a smile: "Who said that the UK does not check drunk driving? In the UK, if there are three drunk driving in ten years, the driver's license will be revoked for 109 years, which means that there is no chance with the car in this life." Oh. Except for the Queen. ”

There is only one person in the UK who does not have a driver's license, and that is Queen Elizabeth II. The old lady never had a driver's license and never had a passport. It's not that she's doing privileges, it's that under British law, driver's licenses and passports are issued in the name of the Queen. There's no need for her to issue her another driver's license, passport, or something.

Take passports, for example, sitting heads of state generally hold visa-free diplomatic passports, and in the case of the Queen of England, it is clear that all countries in the world recognize that she does not need a passport. Of course, the rest of the royal family has passports, and the British royal family website also explains this problem, according to the royal family, because the British passport is issued in the name of Her Majesty the Queen, so the queen herself does not need a passport.

Of course, the most appropriate translation would be: a king is a king, unlike you.

Besides, the old lady doesn't need a passport to go out, just brush her face. Now so many countries in the world are still nominal Commonwealth territories, and people's faces are printed on money, and how many old people don't know her?

The Queen of England actually has many privileges, such as that she does not have to pay taxes. Of course, people think it's good to pay taxes, so they insist on paying taxes since 1992. And she will never be arrested, because the power of the English courts is subject to the monarch, that is, how can she sue herself? No one can compel her to give evidence in court.

She also has one of the most domineering privileges, which is that she has the right to fire all government workers in Australia. Because she is strictly the head of Australia.

So sometimes in London, you see an old lady in her 90s driving a car without a license plate, and there is no doubt that it is Queen Elizabeth II. Her old man's car didn't even have a license plate, because the license plate was also issued in the name of the Queen of England。。。。。。

After listening to Hua Ming's answer, Xiao Peng couldn't help but be curious: "Since the catch of drunk driving is so strict, why do you still drink beer?"

Hua Ming smiled: "It's nothing, the UK does not have zero tolerance for drunk driving, and the law here stipulates that the standard for drunk driving is more than 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood." A drink or two before driving here isn't much of a problem. In the UK, if you drive on the road without drinking some alcohol, you will be scared. ”

"Poof. Yang Meng smiled: "This regulation is good." I like it!"

Hua Tian hurriedly said: "This is not a good regulation, the standard in most European countries is between 20 and 50 milligrams, and some countries also adopt a zero-tolerance attitude towards young people with less than three years of driving experience or under the age of 21." Even in Scotland, the standard for drunk driving is 50 milligrams, and only the United Kingdom is so 'maverick' that it has set an 80 milligram, which is also the reason why the number of car accidents in the United Kingdom is high in European countries! Now in the United Kingdom, you are embarrassed, you have no problem driving in the United Kingdom, but once you drive into the Scottish territory, driving may already be illegal. It's because there is too much difference between the drunk driving standards between the two places! Huaming, you are not allowed to drink and drive in the future!"

Hua Ming shrugged his shoulders and changed the topic: "By the way, Xiao Peng, your house has been found, I didn't arrange a hotel for you, but rented an apartment, I think it is more suitable for your life, after all, you can cook by yourself." ”

Xiao Peng stretched out his thumb: "This thing is beautiful! Thank you so much! It's more comfortable to cook and eat by yourself." How long have you been renting? I'll give you the money?"

Hua Ming said: "I have already paid you a week's rent, it is my friend's house, so there are not so many things, five hundred pounds a week." ”

"A week?" Xiao Peng looked at Hua Ming suspiciously, took out five hundred pounds from his pocket and handed it to Hua Tian.

Hua Tian explained with a smile: "When renting a house in the UK, most of the rent is paid weekly. ”

Xiao Peng muttered, "I'm not afraid of trouble." ”

Hua Ming smiled: "After we finish eating in a while, go and see if you are satisfied with the house, and then take a rest, I will take you to a good place to play." By the way, you have formal suits, right? No, let's go buy a set now. ”

Hearing that they were going out to play, Xiao Peng and Yang Meng glanced at each other, slightly embarrassed. The two of them are still going to sneak out at night to experience the British style, how can this have been arranged? and wear formal clothes? It doesn't sound like a fun place.

Yang Meng gave Xiao Peng a look and signaled him to reject Hua Ming's proposal, but the eye contact between the two made Hua Ming see it, and Hua Ming laughed: "Don't be busy refusing, I will really take you to a good place today." ”

Hua Tian smiled and nodded: "Believe Hua Ming, if you play in London, it's better to listen to him." But I'm afraid I've already guessed where he's taking you. ”

Xiao Peng asked curiously, "Where are you going to take us?" Do you want to wear formal clothes? Are you going to a banquet?"

Hua Tian tilted his head and looked at Hua Ming: "Are you going to take them to 'The Box Soho'?"

Hua Ming snapped his fingers: "It's worthy of my brother, I know what I want to do, come, high-five." ”

Seeing the two high-fives, Xiao Peng was confused and didn't know what the two were doing. "Hey, what the hell are you talking about?"

"Oh, it's a striptease club in Soho. We went to see a striptease in the evening. Hua Tian replied.

Xiao Peng nodded absentmindedly after hearing this: "Oh, it turns out that you are going to watch a striptease。。。。。。 Wait? What are you talking about? Go to striptease at night? And wear formal clothes? Did I hear me right?"

Hua Tian smiled: "You really heard it right. 'The Box Soho' is a big name in London, it's a Barclays cabaret style club, have you seen the movie 'Moulin Rouge'? It is a high-end erotic entertainment venue that implements a VIP membership system. Of course, there is no other service than performances. ”

Yang Meng was stunned: "I'll go, it's still so tall to watch a striptease in the UK?"

Hua Tian smiled: "Of course, this is a gentleman's country." ”

At this time, Yang Meng was completely speechless: "The gentleman still watches striptease。。。。。。 ”

Hua Tian nodded and said, "This is normal in the UK, that's art." You don't look at it with tinted glasses. ”

Now it's Xiao Peng's turn and Yang Meng to be speechless together, Hua Tian, who has always been a gentleman, can say such things, it seems that this is really a very elegant thing here in London?

Hua Ming slapped the table: "Let's go, let's go buy two clothes and go back and change them on, then go have two drinks, and then go to the show!"

Yes, since everything has been arranged, let's go and have a look, buy clothes and look at the house, Xiao Peng can still understand, but what is the matter of finding a place to drink two drinks first? Can't you go to the club to drink two drinks?

But after Xiao Peng and the others went back to change their clothes, they finally understood why they said that they had to find a place to have two drinks first. It turns out that The Box Soho club is very capricious, and it doesn't open until 11 p.m. every Wednesday to Saturday night, so I don't know where to go to pass the time without looking for a place to have a drink or two. But fortunately, Xiao Peng also happened to get a glimpse of London's bar culture.

Pubs are ubiquitous in the UK, and more common than in Chinese restaurants. Long ago, English law forbade women to enter pubs, which were a privileged place for men, and for men to chat and make friends, but then the feminist movement in the twentieth century made this law ineffective, and now women can go to any pub just like men。。。。。。 Oh no, GAY, they won't get in。。。。。。

Bars in the UK are literally divided into PUB, BAR and CLUB. Translated in Chinese, they all mean the same thing: "bar", but in the UK, they mean very differently.

The so-called PUB, which is the abbreviation of 'public housing' in English, is also the oldest type of pub in the UK, and now there are more than 80,000 pubs in the UK, which has become a unique landscape in the UK. Most of these PUBs have a long history, the buildings are quite distinctive, and the names also reveal the British style, what mermaids, forest castles, happy sailors, etc., here, people can not only taste fine wine, but also eat and relax, it is similar to Chinese restaurants, but Chinese restaurants are mainly for eating, and here are mainly for drinking.

The BAR is similar to the Chinese bar, biased towards drinking and chatting, the communication place that young people prefer to communicate, the general decoration is modern, the atmosphere is more active, especially the night with the ball game, almost all are full: the British like to gather in the BAR to watch the ball game and enjoy the lively atmosphere. It is also one of the most distinctive football cultures in the UK.

CLUB, on the other hand, is similar to Chinese nightclubs, with later opening hours, dancing away, tickets and of course, more expensive drinks. Therefore, before entering the CLUB, it has become a common practice for many people to drink two cups of PUB or BAR.

If you are slightly drunk, go to CLUB to hunt for beauty, this is the right way!
