Chapter 220: One Man's Arrangement

After complaining on social software, Wang Yiyuan "reluctantly" accepted her arrangement as the "team leader + driver + tour guide" for the next three-person trip. After quitting the social software, Wang Yiyuan smiled helplessly, but in fact, she was not really so repulsed in her heart.

Wang Yiyuan often boasts that she is a backpacker. In the past, when she went out to travel, she also walked alone with her bag most of the time, and all the trips were in the process of traveling, while walking, constantly collecting information from all aspects, and then planning and arranging by herself.

And this time when she came to the United States, she did some tips on the Internet in advance, and got a lot of practical information for tourists from the taxi driver and hotel owner, and designed a travel plan for three people for a few days, as well as arranged follow-up food, accommodation and transportation, which is really not a big problem.

Of course, the later arrangements were not in a hurry, and Wang Yiyuan had more than two days to integrate the information she got and adjust her itinerary according to this information. She is now more concerned about how to spend the three days of being alone from today.

After today, Hu Hao and his wife will have to follow the arrangements of the tour group in the next two days. For Wang Yiyuan, two days is really nervous to leave Los Angeles to visit other places first, and she can only arrange to travel in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States, after New York. Although there are Los Angeles City and Los Angeles County in the administrative division, to be precise, what we call Los Angeles is not a simple city or county, but the Los Angeles metropolitan area, which covers a large area around it, also known as the Los Angeles metropolis.

Los Angeles is a well-known homo-core urban agglomeration that does not have a dominant city center, and although traffic congestion still exists, there is no daily flow of millions of vehicles centripetally or radially through the center of a city. At the same time, the model of urban agglomeration is more conducive to resource allocation, industrial layout, distribution and adjustment, and avoids vicious competition between cities in adjacent regions, which is probably one of the reasons for the rapid economic development of Los Angeles urban agglomeration.

It is also a famous shopping paradise. It has been said that there is no reason for anyone to refuse to shop in Los Angeles, and no matter how much money you are willing to spend here, you can buy the most fashionable items in the world.

Wang Yiyuan herself doesn't have much desire to shop, maybe just like a friend said on weekdays, a person's desire to shop has to be linked to their own income, but she never admits that she is not keen on shopping because of money, she thinks that everyone's lifestyle is different, so the attitude towards spending money is different.

For example, a colleague in the company used to have a monthly salary about the same as herself, and she only got five or six thousand yuan a month, but she was very willing to spend money on clothes and bags, and at least every quarter she would add a piece of clothing worth two or three thousand and a handbag worth two or three thousand to her wardrobe. They will even shout "it's a good deal" because they only spent less than 2,000 yuan to buy a bag. However, she was reluctant to spend her money on travel, even if it was a road trip to a neighboring province, spending five or six hundred yuan would make her heartache for several days and swear that she would never "waste money" again.

As for Wang Yiyuan, who often participates in outdoor sports such as hiking, the colleague's evaluation is: Women should dress up beautifully, and spending money to find guilt is something that only fools are willing to do.

No matter how to explain to that colleague that outdoor sports is not "finding guilt", the other party can't understand it at all, just like Wang Yiyuan can't understand why the other party can't understand why the other party can't understand why she can't get a chance to go on a trip, but at the same time refuses all invitations to travel.

Retracting her wild thoughts, Wang Yiyuan once again focused on how to spend the next two days in Los Angeles.

She plans to take advantage of the two days of wandering around the city, by the way, to purchase all the things she promised to buy for her friends, and after completing the task, there will be less entanglements, and the trip can be more casual. Fortunately, I originally planned to rent a car for the rest of the trip, and even if I purchased it now, it will not cause any inconvenience to the next trip due to the increase in luggage weight.

As for getting around Los Angeles, Wang Yiyuan personally prefers to take the Downtown Loop Bus (DASH) for bus travel.

Several DASH lines run every 5-15 minutes, passing major downtown sightseeing spots such as shopping malls, art galleries, Broadway, Chinatown, Union Station, Olvilla Street, and there are also routes to Hollywood with transfers between routes, making it especially convenient for visitors. Unfortunately, DASH does not operate on Sundays and holidays, and tomorrow happens to be Saturday, so it seems that there is no way to choose the route of this bus company.

Her second choice was the Metropolitan Transit Authority Bus (MTA). MTA buses are public transit buses that connect major locations in and out of Los Angeles. Because the bus is part of the same Los Angeles Mass Rapid Transit system as the subway, it only costs eight dollars for a one-day pass, which allows you to ride all the MAT and subway for free on this day, except for the suburban lines, which should be the most convenient and cheapest way to get around Los Angeles. The disadvantage is that you need to consult the map by yourself, find the place you want to go and the bus or subway lines and stations you pass through.

It's not that hard, it's just a matter of taking a little more time. However, there is a simpler way, and Wang Yiyuan naturally has no reason not to use it, that is: ask!

In the process of chatting with the hotel owner just now, Wang Yiyuan knew that the hotel owner grew up in Los Angeles when he was a child, and it was right to ask him about where to go and what kind of car to take.

Although it took nearly 20 hours to travel to the United States this time, including the waiting time for the connecting flight, Wang Yiyuan did not feel particularly tired after resting enough on the plane. As for jet lag, she really hasn't encountered this problem, which is why she has always proudly boasted that she was a natural walker.

After taking a simple shower, Wang Yiyuan returned to the registration office of the hotel again, planning to ask the boss for travel advice.

There was no one at the front desk, and it was estimated that the owner went to help other tenants pick up things. Wang Yiyuan took a book casually, sat on the sofa next to her and flipped through it, waiting for the boss to come back.

"Hey, surprised, surprised?"

A greeting in her native language suddenly came from the door, Wang Yiyuan raised her head in surprise, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Why are you here?"
