Chapter 167: Stockholm Afropathy (1)

The designer Qi An'an found is still quite reliable, and there are all the elements of the Huangguo country, although some places are not very harmonious, and it would be good to change it. I spent half a day playing a game called "Let's Find Fault Together" with the designer, asking the designer to go back and revise the drawings, and then threw the matter back to Qi An'an, just waiting to see the final result.

Finally idle, Li Han thought that he had nothing to do anyway, the weather was just right in May, shouldn't he take a turn on the big 6 in Europe, he had been in the UK for two years, and no other country in Europe had ever traveled. It just so happened that Lydia still had a few days to get it done, and Li Han decided to take this time to apply for a Schengen visa and have a good time with Lydia in the European Big 6.

He didn't make specific travel plans, anyway, he didn't lack money, he didn't lack time, he could play as much as he wanted, and it would be better if he could go through all 26 Schengen countries.

Having said that, he still has to go through the countries he wants to go to the most, regardless of the distance, after walking the countries he likes, he will take his time for the rest, and he will not leave regrets when he has something to go back. As for the possibility of coming back next time? Who knows when the next time will be.

"Lydia, where would you most like to go in Europe?" Li Han dialed Lydia's phone and asked.

Lydia is British, rich and free, I don't know how many times she has traveled to Europe in the past 20 years, not to mention visiting every corner of the big 6 in Europe, at least every country has been there. She said, "As long as I'm with you, I'll leave the itinerary to you." Wherever you go, it's worth it. ”

After looking at the map of Europe for a long time, Li Han finally decided to go to Northern Europe to take a look at Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. Then go to Greece, Italy, France and Spain, and the rest of the time when you see it is not time or interest, and the travel time is too long and sometimes it will be boring.

It only takes 2 hours and 25 minutes to fly from London to Stockholm in Sweden, and Li Han is scheduled to take off from Heathrow Airport at a quarter past 7 a.m. with Scandinavian Airlines. Probably because the ticket was booked a few days before the departure, there were no tickets for first class and business class, and there were still many European tyrants. Fortunately, it is only more than two hours, and the economy class can endure it.

This is the cheapest multinational plane Li Han has ever ridden. Plus taxes are less than £8o per person. The airfare is only £25, and the tax is a bit higher.

In fact, he only took economy class once, when he came to the UK from China to inherit his inheritance the year before last. In the past, when he was in China, he was just a poor student. Going out is also taking the train. The luxury point is to buy a hard sleeper at most. Later he made money. I bought first class from the plane. However, when I was studying in the past, I didn't sit in the hard seats on the train, and occasionally I didn't buy a seat ticket all the way home, and the economy class also adapted well. I just feel a little sorry for Lydia.

Lydia didn't care, and said with a smile: "I don't always fly first class when I go abroad," she said, "I used to go to Europe with my classmates, and I would buy economy class with them, anyway, it wasn't long, so it wasn't a big deal." ”

Sweden has a wide range of industries, with a prominent position in heavy industry, and the famous enterprises are Volvo Cars. Sweden is the country with the largest number of multinational corporations in the world in terms of population, and is known for its high wages, high taxes, and high benefits.

Located on the east coast of Sweden, Stockholm is a famous tourist destination due to its scenic beauty. The city is spread over 14 islands and a peninsula, and more than 7o bridges connect the islands, hence the name "Venice of the North". It has long been known for its historic buildings and waterways.

It was past 11 a.m. when they arrived in Stockholm, and it was time for lunch. May is not the peak tourist season, the star hotel is not full, because there is no plan at all, they are ready to find a hotel in the place, only Stockholm because it is the first stop, Li Han booked a harbor view luxury double room in the Stockholm Hotel in advance, more than 500 yuan a night, including free breakfast.

Throwing their luggage to the hotel, the two hurried out to find food. In the morning, in order to catch the plane, I ate relatively early, and now I have digested it cleanly.

The Swedes' favourite food is pickled herring and meatballs, which they certainly want to try. However, they are now targeting one of the restaurants that have only recently emerged as the hotbed of new Nordic cuisine, and they are known for their original dishes made with seasonal food and game ingredients, and it is said that the dishes are made on firewood, which is unique in the era of the widespread use of gas and natural gas.

Because they are all seasonal dishes, the restaurant does not have a fixed menu, and what dishes are served depends on what ingredients the owner and chef get today. Li Han and Lydia are quite lucky, and today there are fresh scallops. They were only present when the waiter brought them the scallops, which were roasted in hay and served with smoked mussels, pan-fried squid and beet leek sauce.

The scallops are roasted and slightly yellow, cut a piece of grass ash and put it in your mouth, the fragrance is slightly sweet, and the taste is not bad. Take another bite of mussels, and the unique salty and fragrant taste is also acceptable.

After eating a lunch full of unique atmosphere, Li Han felt that although it was a gimmick, the quality was not bad, not to mention the portions, most of the food in European countries was very small. Fortunately, from the starter to the dessert, you can always fill your stomach.

To get to know a city, in addition to tasting the local food, the first thing to do is to take advantage of the local public transportation. Stockholm's subway is distinctive, with blue, red and green lines, and more than 1oo artists decorate each platform with their own style and artistic ideas, and are known as "the world's longest underground art gallery".

They can't go through every platform, they can only choose the most distinctive ones. Some of the platforms were carved out of the rock, retaining the cave-like ceiling. With fantastical murals, exaggerated sculptures, and a variety of bold forms of appearance, as well as special lighting effects, Li Han has the illusion of being in a fantasy world.

These platforms don't know how many films they murdered tourists. Li Han and Lydia are not professionals, they just bring a digital point-and-shoot camera with each of them. Even though a large-capacity memory card is inserted, most of the camera's capacity is still used up after looking at it all the way.

They chose to come out of the town hall station, which is also one of the tourist hotspots. The Town Hall is a chic and beautifully decorated building built in the heart of the city on the shores of Lake Mälaren and is almost 100 years old. The main body is made of red brick, and at the top of the bell tower on the right is the golden crown representing Denmark, Sweden and Norway, which symbolizes the former Kalmar Union and has become the most frequently mentioned feature of the town hall. The bell tower houses a museum dedicated to art exhibitions, and you can get a panoramic view of Stockholm from the bell tower.

The banquet hall in the town hall, known as the "Blue Room", is one of the most well-known halls of the town hall. The reason for this is that every year on December 1o, the King and Queen of Sweden and dignitaries from all walks of life gather here to hold a grand dinner for this year's Nobel laureates. The brilliant lights between the columns on both sides of the Blue Room and the blue pillars of light in front of it set off the atmosphere of the dinner party where elites gathered, and Li Han, a native bun, felt that the Blue Hall, which had left many Nobel Prize winners, was also dyed with a unique temperament.

In addition to the Blue Hall, the City Hall also has a richly decorated hall called the "Golden Hall", in which the murals of metal and stained glass in the hall cost 18oo million pieces of metal and glass with a size of 1 square centimeter, which is very eye-catching. The left and right walls are based on history, with the narrative on the left and the narration on the right, respectively showing the various periods of Swedish history, such as the era of pirates, as well as important figures in Swedish history. In the middle of the main wall in front is a large statue of the goddess of Lake Mellaren, the protector of the city, flanked by people of various ethnic groups from Asia and Europe on the left and right sides of the goddess's feet, implying that people everywhere regard Stockholm as their ideal place.
