Chapter Thirty-Six: Seeing Beautiful Women in the Bright Light
Three coaches will take the delegation to the Laozhai International Hotel on Gunaimo Street.
What you see along the way, just like a small county town in a county-level city in China in the fifties and sixties, although there are tropical trees such as plantains, palms, coconuts, and unknown flowers and plants everywhere, the main style of the city is gray. Except for the landmark triumphal arch, which is tall and majestic, the rest are basically gray, spired Laos-style buildings.
The streets of the city are narrow and dirty, and the various wires on the telephone poles are like cobwebs, more like a mess. There are no high-rise buildings, and the entire city is full of dilapidated buildings below three floors. On the edge of the city, there are many stilted buildings similar to those inhabited by ethnic minorities in southern China.
The air is very humid and the plants are luxuriant, making it a pristine scene. In particular, an unknown flower, which grows in front of and behind the house, hangs under the eaves, dotting the old, dilapidated city. The streets are dominated by bicycles, and pedestrians are rarely seen, except for the occasional motorcycle or two, or a three-wheeled motorcycle pulling goods, "popping" past. Except for old, crooked coaches, cars are rarely seen.
The hotel room is good, the room is on the fourth floor, which is also the top floor, and you can overlook the Mekong River. The room was very clean and although Vientiane is located on the banks of the Mekong River, the interior was not damp. The furniture is made of good mahogany, which is thick and heavy, and the small ornaments are mainly bamboo handicrafts and wood handicrafts, and the overall display has a unique southern atmosphere.
As soon as Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao entered the room, they were attracted by the magnificent scene outside the window. To the north of the city, a large river, from west to east, mighty. A large passenger ship, with a whistle, and a deep "whine" sound, faintly came. In the shadow of a sail, the huge hull looks abrupt, and the appearance of slow driving looks graceful and outstanding.
On the busy river, the front and back of the passenger ferry, left and right, the sails are rushing down. Ships that go up the river from the downstream mainly rely on motors, not in a hurry, not impatient, lazy and slow. On and along the embankment, countless plantains, palms and coconut trees sway in the wind. Visitors in twos and threes, walking or sitting or lying, do whatever they want, enjoy the beautiful scenery of this big river.
"Mekong, I'm coming!"
Lin Tao was infected by the river, and opened his arms and sighed loudly.
At noon, the Lancang Trade Organization held a reception banquet, which was held in the banquet hall of Liaozhai International Hotel. Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao, as Xu Tianyi's entourage, also attended the banquet. The rice is mainly glutinous rice, and the dishes are based on sour and spicy, which is the Chinese cultural circle, and each table is equipped with chopsticks.
The afternoon activities are to visit the trade show and explore the main attractions of Thaluang. Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao were dressed in suits, followed behind Xu Tianyi, and visited the trade show in a matter-of-fact manner. The scale of the show is small, with China accounting for two-thirds of the booths. The booth of Lancang, the host country, occupies only a very small part, and it is mainly wood products, bamboo and other plant weaving products, gold and silver jewelry and other handicrafts.
At the exhibition, from time to time, men wearing green Annan Army civilian clothes appeared, and they lingered in front of the booths of daily necessities in China, and they couldn't put down anything. Some Annan soldiers show off their military might, as if they want to tell everyone that they are the real "masters" of Lancang.
Xu Tianyi whispered to Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao, "They are Annan's advisers, and they are actually Annan's agents stationed in the Lancang 678 Corps Department." All those who come from China, they will arrange tracking. ”
Organize a half-day visit, mainly to familiarize yourself with the venue and prepare for the trade negotiations that will officially start tomorrow. Next, it's time to visit Thaluang, the main attraction of Vientiane.
Like most cities in Southeast Asia, Vientiane is a city with a strong Buddhist atmosphere, most influenced by Indian Buddhism. Various temples and ancient pagodas can be seen everywhere, and the most famous Buddhist temple is the Jade Buddha Temple. Boys in Lancang have to enter temples from an early age to learn English, French and other knowledge, and generally become vulgar before the age of 20 and start looking for jobs. Therefore, the temple in Lancang is like a school in a sense.
Thaluang is the most famous pagoda in Lancang, built in 1560 during the reign of King Setatila. The tower is tall and majestic, and it is resplendent in gold. Over the course of its long history, Ta Luang has been destroyed by war several times and has undergone many repairs, and has finally been preserved to this day, becoming a landmark building of Vientiane City and one of the important places of interest in Southeast Asia.
Taluan Square is the largest square in Vientiane, second only to Beijing *** Square in scale. Every November, Lancang holds a grand Taluan temple fair and trade show here, making it the largest exhibition in Lancang.
Lancang has long been under colonial rule by Western powers, and men at exhibitions and tourist attractions are of all skin colors, and generally wear suits as formal attire. Women generally wear the traditional costumes of various ethnic groups in South Asia, including Annam women wearing Ao Dai, women from various countries wearing Chinese cheongsam, and even Tianzhu women surrounding saris. More women, wearing small tube skirts, petite and exquisite, very charming, and very cute, make people linger.
Seeing Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao's expressions lingering back and forth, Xu Tianyi couldn't help laughing, covered his mouth and laughed happily.
"Don't laugh at us, it's just curiosity." Lin Tao hurriedly explained.
Xu Tianyi smiled understandingly, "Although Lancang is poor, it is the country with the richest abundance of beauties among the countries in South Asia. If you want to see women, you can look at them boldly, and as long as you don't touch them in public, they generally won't object to you looking at them. Especially for Chinese men, Lancang women have a good impression of them. Marrying Chinese people is a very prestigious and lucky person. ”
Just as he was talking and laughing, Xu Tianyi suddenly seemed to be telling a funny joke, and said happily, "Don't look back, someone is eyeing us." ”
At this moment, a tall Annan girl in a white dress, holding a camera in her hand, was looking around. Across from her, three girls stood side by side. The girls wore long flowing skirts, high slits on either side of their bodies, and trousers on their legs. The skirt flutters in the wind, which has a unique style. Yu Songyuan took the initiative to walk over and asked in English, "If I'm not mistaken, do you want to find someone to take pictures for you?" ”
The long-legged girl nodded happily and also asked in English, "Yes, yes, hello, can you please take a picture for us?" ”
"Absolutely."
Yu Songyuan took over the camera, which was an old-fashioned Japanese Canon 135 camera. These are four slim Annam girls, all dressed in white Ao Dai, and two of them still carrying books in their arms. After the photo was taken, the four girls thanked each other in unison and left.
Seeing this, the two male "tourists" who were farther away behind them were bored and turned elsewhere in search of a new target.
Xu Tianyi took the two of them and followed behind the tour team, while saying to them, "The response is good." I'm licensed, you can take out your little ** nature and watch the beauties to your heart's content! However, it should be noted that you should be safe and bold to look at it, Lancang girls are happy to see men, and they will think they are very attractive. If it's voyeurism, it's considered rude and trivial. ”
With her words, Lin Tao naturally let go. Looking at beautiful women is a kind of enjoyment for men.
Walking past a beer house on the side of the square, two beer girls wearing green shirts and golden skirts strongly attracted the attention of Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao. As soon as Xu Tian saw it in his eyes, he walked over quietly.
They were warmly entertained by two girls, and the trio drank a few beers on the rocks. Seeing that they were all wearing yellow badges on their chests, it turned out to be a beer hut specially set up by the conference organizer for the conference. After drinking, Xu Tianyi proposed to take a picture of them, and the two girls happily agreed. They took the initiative to stick to Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao, and hugged their waists very obediently, smiling sweetly, like little birds.
"Open your eyes, huh? Just now, these two were both studying abroad and returning to China to participate in the conference during the summer vacation. ”
They kept up with the visiting team, Xu Tianyi teased. Lin Tao looked left and right for a while, and then sighed, "The girl in Lancang is really good, enthusiastic, beautiful, and generous!" China should associate with Lancang in this regard and marry them all to China! ”
It is indeed breathtaking, and on the streets of Vientham in Lancang, there are all kinds of beauties with a unique South Asian style, except for a darker complexion, which is almost impeccable. "Boss, that's amazing. Oh my god, one day, all beauties I saw! Lin Tao whispered to Yu Songyuan.
However, Xu Tianyi still heard it, and she whispered, "Stinky boys, here are all serious girls from South Asia. Lancang is not like Siam, the folk customs are simple, prostitution is prohibited here, ** karma is illegal, what you see are girls from good families. The girls here are not only beautiful, but they are also the purest place in South Asia! ”
Xu Tianyi said this, clearly wanting them to fall in love with South Asia. In a silent place, imperceptibly, the intentions can be described as good. Yu Songyuan listened to her explanation and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
His subtle expression, Xu Tianyi saw it in his eyes, "I say this to let you have a good impression of Lancang." The girls you see today are all South Asian countries living in Vienkin, the capital of Lancang, or who come to Vientham to travel, work, and study, and of course their image and temperament are good. The real Lancang is still very poor, especially in the remote areas and mountainous areas, the living conditions are very poor, and women can't dress themselves up beautifully. In those places, you won't see so many 'beauties'. ”
"Wouldn't there be shemales among these people?" Lin Tao asked.
"Absolutely. In Lancang, shemales are just a very feminine type of people. They have long hair and wear tube skirts, but they basically don't have sex reassignment surgery. They are a very normal group of people who are not treated with contempt. As for the shemales in Siam, even if they come to Vientiane, they do so in speakeasies. ”
