Chapter 581: Old Beauty's Fireworks
If a short flight is an enjoyable experience, a long international flight is definitely boring and long, even a torture, for you.
Fortunately, this time they booked business class, if it was ordinary economy class, more than ten hours of flight, Han Li had to go crazy.
But even the slightly comfortable business class only brought him a little comfort on board, and the boredom and boredom of the journey was a kind of torture for him or for many people.
So he, like Qi Ran, spent most of his time sleeping after getting on the plane. But even if the business class is in better condition, it is far less than the standard room of the hotel, so the comfort can be imagined.
After sleeping intermittently for four or five hours, Han Li couldn't sleep anymore. In desperation, he can only find time to pass the time, either looking for movies to watch, or patiently looking for books to read, or sitting there quietly listening to music in a daze.
On the other hand, Qi Ran, who has been sleeping all the way, can see that she is indeed tired in the past few days. But that's fine, at least you don't have to suffer as much as him on the plane.
After nearly twelve hours of flight, Han Li and Qi Ran finally arrived in San Francisco. However, this is not the final destination for the two of them, the real destination is the city of Para Altu, which is about an hour's drive next to San Francisco.
Although the city of Paraaltu is not well-known in the country, there is a famous university in the United States, although it is not as famous as Haval hemp rope, but the overall strength is comparable, and it can be said that each has its own merits.
This is Stanford University, which is relatively famous all over the world, and what Qi Ran is going to report on is the famous graduate school of business in Stanford University.
The reason why it was selected was that Qi Ran also considered a variety of factors for a long time. Originally, a prestigious business school offered her an invitation, but after careful consideration, she chose this place anyway.
The main reason for this is because of the whole learning environment and living environment, and because of the tutor.
Compared to another business school, the Stanford Graduate School of Business has three Nobel laureates on its faculty. What's more, the three Nobel laureates are still teaching. And although Qi Ran's mentor this time is not one of the three, he also has a very close relationship with him, and he is not bad academically.
So after thinking about it for a long time, Qi Ran felt that instead of going to a famous business school to worship an ordinary tutor, it was better to come here to find a good teacher. She believes that a good mentor is more helpful to her than a good business school, and that the Stanford Graduate School of Business itself is not bad.
As for the living environment and learning environment, it is close to San Francisco, located in the southern part of California, with a pleasant climate and beautiful scenery.
Not only that, but California's economy is also very developed. In addition to Silicon Valley, a high-tech center in the United States, there is also a cultural and artistic center 'Hollywood'. When calculated individually, California's GDP is comparable to that of England as a whole.
In addition, it is also a major Chinese gathering area in Laomei, and the society is relatively open and tolerant. Therefore, choosing to study and go to school here, whether it is Han Li or Qi's father and mother, they are relatively relieved.
Of course, no matter how much it compares, it can't compare with the environment of your own country. But who let this go out to study, although I don't want to admit it, but it is a fact, the education level of people is indeed much better than that of domestic universities.
So if you want to learn, you have to live with that. That's how the older generation came back then, and the environment and conditions they faced at that time were much more difficult than they are now, so what is the difficulty?
By the time Han Li and the others arrived in Paraaltu City, it was already getting dark, so they could only find a hotel to rest and report to the school the next day.
The city of Paraaltu is actually small in size, and it is said that there are only 60,000 permanent residents in the country. It's part of the Greater San Francisco Bay Area, but it's the economic center of the whole of Greater San Francisco, and it's also the center of technology. In addition to Stanford, the most famous and well-known place in the world should be Silicon Valley.
Therefore, the city of Paraaltu can be said to be the area with the most complete infrastructure and the best security in the entire Greater Bay Area.
found a hotel, the two went in to take a shower, changed their clothes and rested for a while. Although they were a little tired, they slept on the plane for too long, and the two of them didn't feel sleepy, and the reader was a little hungry, so the two planned to go out for a bite to eat.
Before leaving the hotel, the hotel's security guard kindly reminded the two of them to come back early, because San Francisco was not safe at night.
Although the two of them had done a lot of homework before coming, they knew that because of the immigration problem, the proliferation of guns and the drug problem, the security of Lao Mei, especially at night, was not very good.
But being reminded like this made the hearts of the two of them a little uneasy.
Fortunately, it was just dark and it was still early, so the two calmed down. No way, just arrived in a different place, I can't help but be a little vigilant.
Walked around the street, which made the two of them gradually relax. The night here is still quite lively, there are still more people on the street, and the whole environment is not bad.
It's just that there are some differences in eating, and when he saw that there were many Chinese restaurants on the street, Han Li wanted to go straight in. But Qi Ran felt that he had come here, so he had to adapt to the environment and taste the difference between this Laomei local Western food and domestic Western food, so he entered a local restaurant.
To Han Li's surprise, in fact, the local restaurant in Laomei is different from the domestic Western restaurant, and it is relatively more life-drawn. There are quite a few people in the restaurant, and many of them come with families, so there are a lot of children in the restaurant.
The arrival of two young Asian faces has attracted a lot of attention, just like two foreigners suddenly coming in a Chinese restaurant in China.
Under the guidance of the waiter, the two found an empty seat and sat down, and then Qi Ran began to order. Although Han Li's English is not as good as Qi Ran's, he can understand it somewhat.
Of course, this is a restaurant for the general public, so the menu is different from the menu of the regular French Monkey European Western restaurant, and it is more inclined to civilian words. For example, there is pasta, there are Mexican spring rolls, there are bacon hams, hamburgers and cheese and so on.
Qi Ran looked at it and asked for a grilled tuna and a vegetable salad, while Han Oak directly came with a hungry steak in his opinion, and a California fish cake with local characteristics.
Originally, Han Li also wanted a bottle of red wine, it was said that California's red wine was good, but in the end it was rejected by Qi Ran on the grounds that he had something to do tomorrow, and finally replaced it with two glasses of juice.
While waiting for the meal to be served, the two chatted and observed their surroundings. And Han Li prefers to observe the expressions of these dining guests, which are a little different from those seen in previous film and television works, the people here are actually no different from the ordinary life of the people in China, they are more real and more life.
Maybe this is Lao Mei, compared with those film and television dramas, those legends, what Han Li sees is more life, in our words, this is called fireworks.
