Chapter 358 [Unnoticed]
The two of them took a boat to the main island of Venice to visit St. Mark's Basilica, St. Mark's Square, the historical old sigh bridge, the crystal shop, and the Doge's Palace, where thousands of flying doves of peace stand tall.
The city of Venice was built entirely in the water, the foundation was made of wood, the houses were next to each other to prevent them from collapsing, the streets were all waterways, all the boats were ferried, and only the outermost coastal roads had stone roads around the water city. Historically, there have been several large high tides and most of the first floor was flooded, but after the low tide, there was no water in the whole city. It can be seen that the architectural design is exquisite.
Judging from the warming effect of the earth, the melting of glaciers, and the rise of water levels, the water city of Venice will be submerged by the sea for many years and cease to exist. It is said that the island's inhabitants are moving out year by year, but Mizujo is still surviving with a large number of tourists from all over the world. The architectural grandeur and artistic charm of the Venetian water city are unique in the world.
"I've wanted to come to this place for a long time." Zhou Xuan sighed: "When my parents come, I will take them to see it." β
"What kind of people are your parents, can you introduce me to them?"
"Of course, they already knew you, and I recommended your movies to them." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
"When they watch horror movies, will they think I'm bad?"
"How is that possible?" Zhou Xuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Why are you afraid that they will think you are bad?" β
"Nothing." Chloe diverted the subject. "How long are we going to stay in Venice?"
"What do you think? Stay longer if you like. "Zhou Xuan has actually planned, playing for a maximum of 20 days, and then he will return to Auckland, gather his heart in September, and prepare for the new season.
"Just one day, aren't we going to other countries?"
Leaving Venice, Zhou Xuan and Colo? Moretz went to San Marino, Bologna, a small mountain town formed by Switzerland, with a population of 20,000 and an area of 40 square kilometers. At the top of the gate is a flag that shows that this is a country, with no places of interest and unique scenery for visitors to see, and they take a few photos halfway up the mountain and leave in the afternoon. Entered Italy by train.
First of all, I went to the Vatican, the "city of China".
This is a special place on Earth. The population was only 900, and there was no army, only 28 policemen, all of whom employed Swiss soldiers. It is said that because the Swiss are loyal to the Church, they use the Swiss as police officers to be faithful to their duties.
It is said to be a country, but in fact it is a church, built in a corner of the Italian capital. Historically, it was the territory of Italy, and later declared independence, and it is the smallest country in the world, but it has the largest in the world, St. Peter's Basilica and St. Peter's the Grand. All the people of the country are engaged in church affairs. Every year, faithful believers from churches from all over the world come to worship, and the national income mainly depends on the support of believers from all over the world, as well as the support of tourists from all over the world.
The square is built on three sides, one side is open, and the front is magnificent, for visitors to visit, and the corridor on both sides is symmetrical 240 stone pillars and 120 statues are located above the corridor. The square is full of tourists and the pigeons are flying, and Zhou Xuan truly experiences the mystery of Western religious culture.
After a short break at noon, they arrived at Rome, the birthplace of Western culture! Known as the eternal capital, Rome has a long history. It dominated Europe for six centuries. There is the Colosseum, the Monument to the Independence of Italy, the ruins of the Roman Agora, and the Fountain of the Trevi Maiden.
The Trevi Fountain, the most famous name is the "Wishing Fountain", which took 30 years to build, with a beautiful appearance, a magnificent atmosphere and clear spring water.
It is said that if you throw a coin from your shoulder with your back to the fountain, if you can throw it into the water, your dream will come true. Visitors line up to the spring, turn their backs to the pool, toss coins into the water, and make wishes.
Chloe and Zhou Xuan also threw a coin into the fountain.
"What did you wish?" Chloe asked.
Zhou Xuan said: "My parents are healthy and live a long life, and I stay with my beloved, play basketball well, and have a successful career." β
He made three wishes at once and seemed a little greedy. But these three points are all his concerns, and he doesn't want to leave any of them behind. Left behind, he felt that life was not perfect.
"What is your wish?"
"I won't tell you." Chloe grimaced.
"Cut, people are small and big, if you don't say it, don't say it."
Zhou Xuan stopped the tourists and asked them to help take a few group photos in front of the fountain. Chloe is very good at posing and jumping on his back. Playing this trip, Zhou Xuan seems to have returned to his student days and become younger.
Leaving Italy, they entered Piacenza and enjoyed the beautiful idyllic scenery of Europe along the way. There is no decent industry here, agriculture is mainly grape growing, forestry and animal husbandry are well developed. Due to the small population and good living conditions, each family building is like a villa. There are no courtyard walls or gates, and the buildings have their own styles. There are no construction sites in sight everywhere, all old houses. The land remains in its original shape, and the grape harvest is still done manually.
The living environment here is nice and suitable for people to live in, but it lacks some modern pleasures.
After that, Liechtenstein, Lucerne and Lucerne are small countries in Central Europe. The country's main industries print stamps, facing the whole world, has a long history.
The scenery here is beautiful, and the famous scenery includes the Water Tower Flower Bridge, the Cabell Bridge, and the monument to the mercenary Sizi who died in the French Revolution. Beautiful old city, you can buy Swiss watches, sabers, chocolates, Rolex watches worth 100,000 US dollars, they don't need souvenirs, only chocolates.
Kolo's physical strength couldn't be compared with Zhou Xuan, and he was tired from walking too much, so they stayed in this small country for an extra day. In the hotel, Kolo asked Zhou Xuan to help rub his legs, and Zhou Xuan had to become a masseuse.
On the eighth day of the tour, the two took a train to Metz, the capital of Luxembourg, with a population of 400,000 and an area of 112 square kilometers. The country is rich and one of the smallest in Europe. In the past, Luxembourg was a battleground and a strategic location. The steep Grand Canyon all shows the style of northern Zbraltar. The Monument to the Unknown Soldier, Syntagma Square, and the Grand Mansion, built to commemorate the soldiers who died in the World War, are must-see places for tourists. Zhou Xuan also took a photo there.
On the ninth day, arrive at Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, and you can see the Dutch style in the windmill village with a strong rural atmosphere in the suburbs, a gentle river, fast and fast on the river, swaying boats, and green meadows everywhere. Handmade by the shoe factory, colorful and large wooden shoes of various sizes fill the room. A wide range of cheese products and a world-famous diamond processing factory.
The Netherlands is also a very open country, with its famous red light district, prostitutes in the kitchen window like merchandise for customers to choose from, and reality shows about sex. It's all legal to smoke marijuana here. But Zhou Xuan couldn't go at all, it was too crazy to take Kolo to that kind of place, and reporting it would definitely affect the image, and maybe he would be crowned "Mage XX Gate".
Then there was Brussels, the center of European politics, and there was nothing to do, so the two left in half a day and went to Paris, the capital of France.
Zhou Xuan only learned today that there is a distinction between "Little Paris" and "Big Paris", and Little Paris is located in the center of the city and is an ancient building. And the greater Paris is a new type of building, Paris has the world's largest art museum - the Louvre Museum! The collection of rare treasures in the museum is an eye-opener for all. In the center of the square there is a glass pyramid designed by the Chinese. Walk through the beautiful and bustling Avenue des Champs-ΓlysΓ©es and enjoy the wonderful and authentic French singing lunch at the Moulin Rouge in Paris.
They tasted French delicacies and saw the Arc de Triomphe that Napoleon built to show off his military victories over Europe. Bought a souvenir of the small Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower is 328 meters high, and from its two-storey position, i.e. 120 meters, you can see the whole city of Paris.
In the evening, they took a large cruise ship to see the scenery on both sides of the Seine. The beautiful Seine River runs through the city, with 28 bridges of different shapes, ancient buildings of different styles on both sides, and the river meanders in a picturesque and romantic atmosphere. At night, the Eiffel Tower, the Place de la Concorde wheel, and the Seine River are lit up in three directions, presenting a scene of prosperity and luxury in Paris at night.
Paris is a great place to be, and they stayed for three days and couldn't get enough of the sights.
In the hotel, Kolo jumped on the bed after taking a shower and said to Zhou Xuan: "This is the happiest month I have had since I was a child, thank you, thank you, you are the best." β
"I had a lot of fun, too." Zhou Xuan sat on the bed, drank a drink, and asked, "Are you going shopping tomorrow?" I heard that it was a good place, and it was time to go back when we left Paris. I'll send you back to Los Angeles. β
"Let's fly straight to San Francisco, the holiday isn't over yet, can I go to Oakland to have a look?" I haven't been to your house yet. β
"You're not going home?"
"They don't have time to take care of me, I go back, my brothers have to take care of me, they control me very strictly, I want to go to your place to play for a few days, can I?"
"Go back and ask your family what they think, and if they agree, I'll be fine."
"It's settled." Kolo leaned over to Zhou Xuan and kissed him lightly on the face.
Zhou Xuan smiled slightly, continued to use the computer to check the information, and read the posts made by Chinese fans on the forum. The little girl blushed a lot at the change in Colo...... He didn't notice it.
On the court, Zhou Xuan is a genius. In life, his brain also turns very fast, his understanding is high, and he has easily learned a variety of skills. Only in terms of feelings, he is a complete idiot, and he gets along with women straightforwardly. There is no way, although the mathematical genius gave Zhou Xuan extraordinary abilities with his life, but that buddy himself couldn't jump off the building because of his feelings. Even if the intelligence of the two is superimposed, there is no superiority in this aspect.
Zhou Xuan only felt that Kolo was a child, 12 years old looked like a 10-year-old, and he was 1.3 meters tall. But I never thought that my charm was all-inclusive. In his opinion, although the trip is worth remembering, it is just a friend outing.
But what does it mean in Chloe's mind?
