Chapter 439: Specialty
Han Peacock didn't care about the complaints of this beautiful tour guide, he directly signaled to the policeman who came with him and asked him to check their passports, and after looking at their shields, the policeman apologized politely before leaving.
"What do you call a tour guide? I don't know where we are going to eat at noon? Also, what are the activities in the afternoon? If there is no activity, can we move freely? As soon as Han Peacock spoke, it aroused Dai Zhen's anger again.
Dai Zhen said angrily: "At noon, we arranged a hotel meal, eating local specialty food, if you are not used to eating, you can find a restaurant to eat alone, and in the past few days in Madai, there is no free activity."
We are all arranging group activities, and we can't leave the island this afternoon, so we will arrange for you to buy some local specialties first, and when the lockdown is lifted tomorrow, we will rearrange the activities. ”
After Han Peacock and Liu Fu sent the grumbling tour guide away, they entered the water house for the first time.
The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, independent sanitary facilities, telephone, bathtub, independent wooden bridge passage over the sea, roof fan, hair dryer, hot and cold water supply, IDD telephone, satellite TV, computer, in-room movie playing equipment, mini bar, personal sunset sea view viewing pier, in-room safe.
It can be said that the design is very intimate, of course, in addition to the water house, there are also water villas and paradise villas, but Han Peacock explained too late, so the water villas and paradise villas were not booked.
After taking a shower, Han Peacock looked at the tourist brochure in his room. Check out the restaurants on the island, where eating is now the most important thing for catkins, who use international calls to their homes.
"Shall we go out to eat?" Han Peacock asked.
While talking, Liu Wu used his computer to log on to a domestic website and sent a large number of photos he had taken to his family.
"Don't you see I'm busy? Order food. After saying that, Liu Wu continued to show his family what he had gained.
Han Peacock had no choice but to check those restaurants that offered food ordering services.
On Paradise Island, there are cafes with sea views, various bars (5 seats), and 5 large restaurants that bring together Japanese food. Chinese. There are 5 main coffee shops and bars, as well as open-air beach bars that offer BBQ (barbecue meetings), many of which are open 24 hours a day.
The main dining room at MainDining has views of the Indian Ocean. One of the best resort island restaurants in the Maldives. A la carte English or Continental style breakfast, Asian or Maldivian local lunch and dinner.
Italian restaurant. Situated at the end of the island, it offers panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. Romantic and delicious Italian meals are available, and in-room pizza service is also available.
In addition to these. There is also an authentic Japanese restaurant that serves authentic Japanese teppanyaki.
Although Liu Wu was not available, Han Peacock still told Liu Wu Zhilu some things, and after introducing it, Han Peacock asked, "What to eat?" ”
Liu Wu said lazily: "I don't want to eat barbecue, and I don't have hope for foreign Chinese food, let's share Italian pizza!" This can be ordered, let them send us here to eat, after eating a good rest, in the afternoon we go out to play. ”
"Okay, let's have a good rest, but I don't have any hope for the afternoon activities, isn't buying souvenirs like killing tourists?"
"Don't think all tour guides are so evil, I think the little tour guide just now is good, she is very responsible for us!" Liu Fu said with a smile.
Han Peacock just smiled and didn't speak, the two of them ate pizza and slept directly.
The two of them were woken up, and when they woke up, they thought it was past four o'clock in the afternoon, and after three hours of sleep, both of them were refreshed.
Han Peacock and Liu Wu changed their clothes, washed their faces, and walked out of the room.
After they walked out of the room, they saw that there were many people waiting for them outside.
Seeing that many people were glaring at them angrily, Han Peacock and Liu Fu glanced at each other, and knew that Lu Dao was angry.
But there was no way to explain it at this time, after all, the little tour guide didn't tell them the time of the meeting.
Han Peacock glanced at the little tour guide who was a little proud, and didn't know how he and Liu Fu offended her, and let this little tour guide play such a small conspiracy, which directly made the other people in the group have opinions about the two of them.
Seeing that everyone was coming, Dai Zhen began to mobilize after the most reluctance: "Okay, the personnel are here, I repeat, shopping in the Maldives, big stores can use MasterCard and VISA cards, it is recommended that you deposit money into the card."
Different banks and various cards are different, how to use a bank card in the Maldives you should have checked with the card issuer, I will not say much here, but I recommend using an international credit card in the Maldives, only need to bring a small amount of US change as a tip.
The most important thing is that it is forbidden to bring black coral, shells (except processed products), sand, shark fins, turtles or turtle products out of the country, so when buying something, you must ask if you can take it out of the customs, if you can't carry it, try not to buy it, if you have to buy it, I can't help it, it's all clear, right? Once you know it, you're going. ”
Since Paradise Island is not big, they didn't take a car, and traveled directly in groups, Han Peacock and Liu Fu were divided into a group of eight, they were all husband and wife, but the age gap was relatively large.
Among these four couples, except for Han Peacock and Liu Wu, who are normal young couples, the others are a bit special, except for them and another middle-aged couple, who are similar in age, there are two couples, all of whom are old husbands and young wives.
One of the most special is an old man, with a quiet girl in her twenties, who said that she was a husband and wife when she was introduced, and with such a pair and another pair, it is not strange, that pair is a middle-aged fat man with a big belly, with a bewitching girl.
There is also a couple, two middle-aged men and women with great momentum, who don't look like husband and wife, but like partners.
In this way, the eight of them formed a squad.
Since there are not many shops selling crafts on the island, they have a clear purpose and go straight to one of the largest shopping malls.
There are many counters in the mall, all of which sell jewelry and handicrafts, and there are the most coral-related handicrafts.
There is air conditioning in the mall, and it feels cool when you come in, and the tour guide Dai Zhen walked in and reiterated the precautions for shopping again, and then sat on a chair on the side and let the groups move freely.
"Professor Water, are we going to act separately, or are we going to work together?" As soon as Dai Zhen left, the fat man with a big belly asked the temperamental old man first.
The old man was very satisfied with the fat man's attitude, but he didn't show much affection, but said lightly: "Since it's a group action, let's work together!" After all, it's a foreign country, so it's better for us to take care of each other, and we don't have much money anyway, and we can't go on a shopping spree. ”
The fat man said: "If Professor Shui is in need, I can help a little, I applied for a lot of dollars when I came." ”
Maldives customs regulations stipulate that each person can carry up to 20,000 yuan or equivalent foreign currency equivalent to 5,000 US dollars when entering the country, and the excess amount needs to be declared in writing to the customs, if there is an excess, it may face taxes, fines or confiscation.
As soon as Professor Shui wanted to refuse, he was vaguely pulled by the quiet girl beside him, and the meaning was immediately understood.
Zhilu Dao has something to ask for people, and this Professor Shui doesn't have that arrogance, so he immediately changed his words when the words came to his mouth: "It depends on the situation!" This is also the precious point of coral, if you encounter a good coral jewelry, you don't have enough money, you need Brother Li's help. ”
Li Minglong, that is, the fat middle-aged man, immediately showed a smile, he smiled proudly at the woman next to him, and then said: "No problem, 20,000 yuan is not enough to buy a string of rosaries here, so Professor Shui must not be polite at that time, the funds I applied for are absolutely sufficient." ”
Han Peacock clearly saw the contempt of the other couple, and of course they also saw Han Peacock and Liu Wu.
Han Peacock nodded and smiled at the man, but he didn't expect the man to come over directly: "Contemptible Gong Qianjun, what do you call this little brother?" ”
Han Peacock hesitated a little and said, "Liu Peacock, this is my wife Liu Fu." ”
Gong Qianjun smiled arrogantly and said, "You are newlywed on your honeymoon, right?" She and I spent our honeymoon here 20 years ago, and now we come here to find a new feeling, otherwise this couple would be too tasteless to do. ”
When Han Peacock saw them, he felt that it was an awkward couple, and it seemed that there was a problem, but Han Peacock would not care about such a thing, so he didn't say much.
"Let's go buy some trinkets too! When we came here, there was no ban on the export of some things, and there were no restrictions on carrying cash, but at that time there was no money, so we didn't buy much, and now that we have money, we can't buy things at will, and the world is really wonderful. It can be seen that Gong Qianjun was a little emotional when he came here, but his wife never spoke.
The main specialties of the Maldives are shell products, reed mats, wooden lacquer boxes, and various handicrafts related to corals, and the shops here are generally not large, distributed on the major islands, most of them are craft shops, and this one on Paradise Island is a shopping mall, which is considered the largest store here.
There are three floors in the whole store, the first floor is full of jewelry, except for a small number of gold, silver and jade jewelry, the others are all coral jewelry, of course, there are some coral carvings or something, but the price is very expensive.
The second floor sells some luxury goods three times, but that kind of thing can be found everywhere, so tourists who come here, except for necessity, generally no one will come to buy it. (To be continued......)
