Chapter 17 Show the tour guide
Kenya's Nairobi airport is an important transit point in East Africa, although the airport is not too big but it is full of internal organs, and there are a large number of passengers waiting in the airport for transfers, most of whom will not stay in Kenya for long, and will basically leave within a few hours.
In Kenya, where the political system is relatively stable, the law and order problem is not much compared to the war-torn countries in Africa, but the disease and environment make the country have few people who risk their lives to stay for long periods of time, except for wildlife and primitive tribal culture.
Fan Ju, who got off the plane, looked at the "original style" of Kenya and could only recognize it, no wonder those European players signed up but didn't come, such a big international airport house looks good, but why is it reluctant to turn on the air conditioner? This has to go somewhere else, so what's the point?
“sIR,hydoyoucomehere?” Kenya's old black is really black, and this customs officer has a mouthful of big white teeth as soon as he speaks.
(Automatic translation below)
"I'm here to play in professional tennis, and here's my invitation." Fan Ju has long been prepared for customs problems, although Kenya is a visa on arrival Fan Ju has prepared the visa early for the sake of insurance, but it is always easier to have a certificate to pass the customs.
Lao Hei Customs looked at the certificate handed over by Fan Ju, and the one with a serious face, in fact, he was pretending, and he was more proficient in spoken English and ordinary entry and exit, and before Fan Ju crossed, he belonged to the type of person who was okay to watch American dramas, and he would die if he watched "English sentences".
pretended to look at it for more than ten seconds, and the old black customs couldn't help it, and took Fan Ju's blank passport and knocked on the entry stamp, as for why Fan Ju was a 17-year-old minor, he didn't care about anything.
Nairobi as the capital of Kenya is actually very good, just the decoration of the airport can be seen, Kenyans are still very attentive, the overall sense of modernity and details of the unique African culture, just in the airport to feel out.
Although Fan Ju is mature "quite early", he is still a minor in terms of identity after all, and even if he is an adult, it is unlikely that he will act alone in Kenya alone, even if the official language here is English, but in Fan Ju's experience, in addition to the United Kingdom, the United States and Europe, those Asian and African countries who say that their official language is English, most of the English spoken may not even be understood by the British, such as India or something, and they basically have to go to the Indian school again to go back to the furnace again.
Not to mention Kenya, if calculated in terms of per capita income, Kenya's per capita income is less than 7oo US dollars, which may not be enough if you don't have land and land to eat, where is the money to go to school? What's more, what about English other than the native language?
Most of the black brothers in Kenya still live a tribal life, and having access to water and electricity is considered modern, of course, if you just say that the education and cultural program in Nairobi is still quite high, at least Fan Jutong guò travel agency contact English-speaking temporary translators and guides, it is not too troublesome.
“Fan,Ju…… This English writing is really personal, it should be him, right? Fan Ju pushed his suitcase from the arrival gate, and at a glance saw that the move was "extraordinary", holding a black young man in cardboard, which was supposed to be painted with colored paint.
"Okay, don't jump, how long have you been waiting? It's not like every plane that comes to do that, is it? Fan Ju looked at the brain-dead child who was still "jumping" when he walked in front of him and asked.
"No, no, I jumped two planes, I saw your flight arrive and I started to jump, you see, you saw me as soon as you got out of the airport, my matata used to be the highest jump in the tribe." Xiao Hei is not very old, in fact, Fan Ju can't tell the difference from his appearance, but at most he is 2o years old.
Matata's English is quite standard, occasionally sandwiched with a few Chinese hello, look at these simple words, obviously for this business of receiving Chinese guests is very important, indeed do not pay attention to it, Nairobi Chinese and English translation is high income.
Compared with the low cost of Matata's 1ooo dollar 1ooo a day and the whole process, 1ooo dollar is only responsible for the translation within 8 hours a day, and the working hours outside the 8 hours are also responsible for room and board and overtime pay of 3o dollars per hour, Fan Ju feels that he is being slaughtered by others as a local tyrant.
Of course, it does not mean that Matata's income is low, Nairobi's capital income is more than 3oo US dollars per month if converted, and a translator like Matata, who does not worry about business, can earn at least double the per capita income if he does it all every month.
So when he came to pick up Fan Ju, he still drove a car, although it was just a somewhat dilapidated jeep, which was not a good car, but Matata said that if he stopped a taxi from the airport to the city, those drivers would charge him 2O dollars, even if he was a local, he would have to spend at least 3O dollars to go back and forth, compared to the fuel cost of less than 3 dollars for driving himself, which was very cost-effective.
Matata's initial actions were indeed a bit amazing, but along the way, it became clear that this short-haired young man was not actually brain-dead, but his personality was relatively lively, and he also worked very hard, and many times along the way he wanted to try to communicate with himself in Chinese, and did not hide some secrets about tourists and foreigners.
"Sir, you're here for a tennis match? Are you already a pro? It's amazing! Matata didn't know what his guests were coming to Kenya for, many of whom in the past were wildlife visitors, and the famous East African Migration passed through Kenya, and there was a steady stream of tourists visiting Kenya every year for this feat of nature.
In addition to pure tourism, there are also tourists who come to Kenya for different purposes, but Matata has never come to Kenya to play tennis.
It's actually quite happy to be praised by others, and Fan Ju can't help but be happy in his heart, but before he gets aTp points, he is not professional, and before he is exposed, it is better to "confess".
"I'm not a professional yet, and this tournament is aimed at becoming a pro." For Matata, who doesn't understand the professional tennis world, Fan Ju didn't explain much, because according to his own experience, the more he knows, the more confusing it becomes, ITF, aTp, and even domestic points competitions, amateur competitions, if you investigate it, the number of tournament bonuses, rankings, points, and even qualifying tournaments can be said for hours.
The weather in Kenya is good, with a high teen to twenty degrees all year round, which is ideal for outdoor sports, except for the dry season in the East African savannah, where even the most ferocious wild animals stick their tongues out and hide in the shade of trees.
Fan Ju is not a ferocious animal, and he doesn't need to look for shade, and after Matata drove to the hotel in the city, Fan Ju felt that his trip probably didn't cost much.
"Sir, this is my phone, I'm near here, if there is something you can call me, I can come in 1o minutes, of course if you have something urgent you can also find the manager of the hotel, they also speak English, should be able to help you a lot.
By the way, sir, please note that if you want to go out it it is best not to act alone, although Nairobi is safe, but it may be dangerous for you to act alone, it is best not to carry too much cash with you, and do not bring it with, if you can, prepare some 1o dollar change, if you encounter a robbery, just give them one, but don't give too much, otherwise these people will follow you to grab it endlessly.
Oh, and sir, if you want to arrange an evening activity, please ignore the calls from the hotel, if necessary, I will arrange it for you, and the girls you are looking for are specially checked to ensure safety, and the price is not expensive, 1oo dollars can accompany you for a whole week. ”
Fan Ju only then felt that he thought Matata was very simple, and he had just pimped himself when he arrived at the hotel, and he obviously didn't know how many times he had done it.
Euphemistically rejected Matata's warm introduction, Fan Ju still aimed at this future race, although Nairobi is the capital of Kenya, but Fan Ju's destination for this competition is not here, but Mombasa, the second largest city in Kenya, Fan Ju can have two options from Nairobi to Mombasa, one is to do a short-distance flight, and the other is to choose to take more than 6 hours to go by car.
As for the railway, don't count on it, building a railway is much more laborious than building an airport, let alone a high-speed railway, and if the technology is not up to par, you just want to build it.
Fan Ju will take a temporary day off in Nairobi, and will continue to fly to Mombasa with Matata early tomorrow morning. However, the thought of the time difference to play and adjust had to be put away, and even the transportation method was chosen to save the effort, in order to meet the game in the best condition.
