Chapter 144: Distance Produces Beauty
"Okay, you dare to come to my house to cheat, no, I have to squeeze you dry and don't leave them at all!" Zhou Xiaoli's cat's eyes widened, and she bit Hong Tao's lips viciously, and a pair of legs tightly wrapped around the man's waist.
Early the next morning, Hong Tao appeared at the door of the house with a pair of panda eyes, while Zhou Xiaoli stepped on high heels with a spring breeze on her face and twisted her little ass into her car.
"It's better to be young." Fat Pavey stretched out his huge head from his car, stared at Zhou Xiaoli's ass and sent her to the car, and then looked back at Hong Tao's dark circles and came to a conclusion.
Niagara Falls is located south of the city of Toronto, across Lake Ontario, about 60 kilometers in a straight line, and about 130 kilometers by road. After leaving the city of Toronto, you can see Lake Ontario from the highway, and you can't see it if you don't want to, the whole way is along the west side of Lake Ontario, and the highway is built on the lake.
Because it was winter, the shores of Lake Ontario were frozen, and there were no boats in sight on the lake, and the blue water and blue sky were almost one color, converging into a blurred dividing line at the extreme of your visual range.
Hong Tao is the first time to see such a large lake at close range, said to be a freshwater lake, in fact, it is very similar to the scenery by the sea, giving people the strongest feeling is: vast, boundless, boundless, etc., in fact, to put it bluntly, it is a word: big.
"Pavey, do you think we can cross the border to the United States?" Hong Tao took his precious atlas and studied it carefully, and he found that this Niagara Falls is on the border between Canada and the United States.
"Gail and I can, you can't." Pa Wei answered Hong Tao's question succinctly.
"For what? Is the border very strict? Hong Tao still didn't give up.
"You're late, if a few years earlier, we would have had no problem taking you around the United States, even if you drove to New York and came back, no one would have asked, but now it's not happening, they're too crazy, there are too many enemies, after 911, our borders have to be registered, you can't enter without a U.S. visa, and you must not take risks, after being caught, you may not even be able to come back to Canada, these damn madmen!" Old Gale spoke more carefully than Pavey, and as a Canadian officer, Old Gale had a great dislike for the United States and the Americans.
In fact, not only old Gale, but also the Canadians that Hong Tao has come into contact with in the past few days don't like Americans very much, they think that Americans are too nosy, too indulgent, and too crazy, which is not in line with the Canadian attitude towards life. In fact, not only Canadians look down on Americans, but Americans also look down on Canadians, they think that Canadians are a group of farmers in the mountains and forests, not only with a strange accent, but also very cute in the countryside.
"Now those guys are even more annoying, they often pretend to be us Canadians when they travel to other countries, wear clothes with maple leaf flags, carry backpacks with maple leaf flags, and even specialize in learning Canadian accent speech, do you believe it, captain, I actually found them selling a suit posing as Canadians at the New York airport in the summer, including shirts, backpacks and hats with our flag on them, and a brochure that seems to be called "Fakin'Eh!": HowtoPretendtoBeCanadian", which actually sells for $64 a set! As soon as Pavey heard that Gale Sr. was criticizing the Americans, he immediately used what he had seen and heard in New York as evidence to prove the shameless behavior of the Americans.
“《Fakin‘Eh!:HowtoPretendtoBeCanadian》! How do I impersonate a Canadian? Is there really a book? Hong Tao was a little amused when he heard the title of the book, and he thought that this was another Pavey deliberately belittling Americans.
"This is what I saw with my own eyes, and Pavey never denigrated anyone, especially behind his back!" When Pavi heard that Hong Tao didn't believe it, he immediately became angry, his hands left the steering wheel, and he turned around and shouted at Hong Tao.
"I believe it! I don't have the slightest intention of doubting it! Hong Tao hurriedly raised his hand and surrendered, it's okay to pursue the truth, but don't joke with your life.
As soon as the conversation box was opened, it could not be contained, and along the way, Pavey severely criticized the ugly face of US imperialism from all aspects, and as a result, he and Gale Sr. began to raise the bar on the topic of ice hockey games, and the more the two of them talked, the more excited they became, the faster they talked, and the more they spoke with a lot of words unique to Canada, Hong Tao basically couldn't understand it, so he could only look at the map in the back seat of the car, and he had to raise his head from time to time to answer their questions, because Pa Wei liked to ask Hong Tao if he agreed with his point of view every few sentences.
More than half of the journey was spent in the arguments of the two old men, for a hockey game, the two of them quarreled for a full hour, until Hong Tao saw the street sign in front of him and stopped, Niagara Falls arrived!
With a population of just over 70,000, Niagara Falls is a veritable town-level city! It's right on the west bank of the Niagara River, and you can see the famous Niagara Falls from the parking lot. Because it's winter, the streets here are empty and there are hardly any people in sight, according to Pavi, if you come here in the summer, it's still very lively, full of tourists, and the largest are Chinese tour groups.
At this time, the amount of water in the Niagara River is the smallest in the year, so the waterfall is not as spectacular as in summer, but it is still very large, and the specific extent of the flood does not feel anything, he has rolled up the window at this time, and the outside is full of water vapor produced by the waterfall, accompanied by the cold wind of winter, blowing on the face is Xiaoice ballast, which is very uncomfortable.
Seeing Hong Tao huddled in the car, as if he was not very interested in the waterfall, Pavi stopped staying and drove around the city.
"What is this building?" Hong Tao found that there were very few high-rise buildings in this small city, except for a ten-storey building standing by the river, which was very eye-catching.
"Casino, after watching the waterfall, if you are interested, we can go in and try our luck, if you have luck like fishing, then we will be rich!" Pavi has always attributed Hongtao's fishing knack to luck.
"Isn't that building across the street also a casino?" Hong Tao pointed to the United States across the Niagara River, which is also a small city, and the most eye-catching building in the city is also a black high-rise.
"You guessed it, that's a casino too!"
"Damn, what rotten capitalism! In China, the most eye-catching buildings in small cities are usually the tax bureau or the public security bureau plus the government building...... "Hong Tao naturally compares the architectural styles of the two countries.
"Well, that's the door of the casino, let me tell you a very interesting thing, can you see the difference between the three flags hanging somewhere?" Pavi stopped in front of the casino building and pointed to the middle of the parking lot and asked Hong Tao.
"There are different nationalities, the Canadian flag, the British flag, and the American flag...... Hahaha, you Canadians are so interesting, is it okay to make Americans like this? Will their governments protest? Hong Tao only thought it was three ordinary national flags when he first saw it, and he reacted after looking at it for a while, the flagpole height of these three flags is different, the Canadian flag on the far left is the highest, and then the British flag is the second highest, and the American flag on the far right is the lowest, almost to the position of the Canadian flag at half-mast, it seems that Canadians really hate Americans.
What can they say? We didn't pretend to be Americans in the Stars and Stripes in the world. Old Gale smiled and pulled open his winter suit, revealing the T-shirt he was wearing at the bottom, with a large red maple leaf printed on it.
The destination of the trip was in the north of the city, a few kilometers from the waterfall, where there was a very flat meadow with two red and white helicopters parked on the grass. Receiving Hong Tao and them were 2 Canadian pilots, one of whom seemed to be very familiar with Pavey, and the two hugged each other as soon as they met, this scene made Hong Tao wonder very much, both of them have big beards, will the beard and beard be entangled?
