Chapter 3 Leaving the teacher is unfavorable
Xu Wei and his entourage arrived in Busan, South Korea, by China Southern Airlines plane from Pudong, Shanghai, and then took a Korean Air plane from Busan to Atlanta, USA, a whole journey that lasted 14 hours.
Xu Wei didn't pay attention to the flight news before, and when he was told that he was going to take a fourteen-hour flight, he was stunned. Before this, Xu Wei had never taken a plane, and he didn't expect the maiden trip to be fourteen hours long.
With a worried heart, Xu Wei boarded the plane, found his seat, sat down, everything seemed so natural, when the plane was aimed at the runway and took off with full throttle, Xu Wei's heart tightened. The extreme acceleration made Xu Wei's back stick tightly to the seat, and he could feel the nose of the plane rising, and the ground was fading away through the window, and the plane had already lifted into the air.
He could see the ailerons, flap spoilers and other parts above the wing, and he didn't know if it was an illusion or what, he always felt that the wing was a little unstable. Xu Wei's heart was pounding, staring out the window without blinking, for fear that there would be a problem with the wings, and every time the plane was bumped due to the turbulence of the airflow, Xu Wei chuckled in his heart, thinking that he might have to live this kind of heart-pounding life in the next life, Xu Wei had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears.
"I was really an idiot in Nima when I was in high school and applied for this major." Xu Wei scolded in his heart, but he was careful that his liver still kept jumping with the bumps of the plane. The more I looked, the more panicked I became, so I simply didn't look outside and closed my eyes to recuperate.
experienced the discomfort at the beginning, and Xu Wei gradually calmed down in the following time. During the fourteen-hour flight, Xu Wei didn't dare to sleep too much. On an airplane, too much sleep is not conducive to adjusting for jet lag when you arrive in the United States. The day and night in Atlanta and Jiangsu Province are reversed, and the estimated time to arrive in Atlanta is 9 o'clock in the evening.
Atlanta International Airport, USA, 9 p.m.
Xu Wei and his entourage dragged their heavy bodies to accept the inspection of the United States Customs, on the way, a companion found that the luggage could not be found, went to the tourist information office, with a clumsy English, both hands and feet to let the staff know what happened, and there were also people at the quarantine checkpoint with the cinnamon Americans don't know what it is, and finally there is a Chinese in the customs to help explain before allowing the release.
Finally, the customs officer will routinely ask about the purpose of coming to the United States, the length of stay, etc., a few people who are not good at English not only do not understand the officer's question, the officer also does not understand what they want to express, if not for each of us to have an invitation letter from the American aviation school, the customs officer would have told us to go back to learn English. It's not tourism, it's about living in the United States for a year, how can I live if I can't speak English?
Xu Wei went well, he didn't bring much things, and his English was barely good, the official asked him if he had any faith in addition to the basic questions, whether he believed in Jesus, or Buddhism or something, Xu Wei said that he had no faith and let him go directly.
Xu Wei sat in the lounge at the exit of the airport, watching his companions busy like monkeys, thinking they were really funny, looking at the shy moon hiding behind the clouds in the sky through the window, smacking his lips, and humming: "I haven't seen much round." ”
While his companions were still tossing, Xu Wei yawned, looked around, and found several foreigners standing together at the exit, one of them holding a sign with a few letters "falcon" written on it.
"Yo, I'm here to pick you up." Xu Wei raised his eyebrows, falcon is the name of the aviation school they are going to, which means "falcon" in Chinese.
Xu Wei was embarrassed to go out alone, and he was surrounded by a group of foreigners asking questions, and he couldn't handle it. One after another, the companions all got the entry procedures, but the classmate who lost his luggage was delayed for a long time, and it took nearly two hours before and after. By the time everyone got it right, it was almost midnight.
The people who came to pick up the airport this time were the chief flight instructor of the aviation school, as well as several dispatches, branch principals. Everyone greeted each other for a while, although Xu Wei couldn't understand many words, but he still pretended to know very well with a smile on his face, and said vigorously: "Yes." ”
When the gossip is over, get on with business. The aviation school means that we are divided into two groups of ten people by company. Xu Wei was not happy at that time, and several of the people who played well with him were in another company, which means that they didn't know much around in the future, and they would definitely feel restrained and uncomfortable living together in the future.
Xu Wei muttered in his mouth, complaining in his heart, but he didn't dare to tell the people of the aviation school.
"People are soft-spoken!" Xu Wei feels that he has too little right to speak, and a foreign country is completely what others say, of course, this is also related to Xu Wei's introverted and timid character.
Xu Wei and his entourage of ten people were assigned to the sub-base located in "Athens". "Athens" if transliterated means Athens. But this Athens is not Athens, which is a small city around Atlanta. As soon as he heard that he had been put in the branch, Xu Weideng's face was not good-looking, and he didn't have to think that the branch school would definitely not be as good as the main department.
"It's not good to be out of school!" Unexpectedly, before the start, it was not at the same starting line, and the road ahead was really full of bumps as expected, and it was not bad at all.
