"I said fatty, can you earn some gas for us Chinese, didn't people say before coming, it's best to get vaccinated in Africa, what is prevention in Zhidao?" It's the same as when you buy insurance, you don't usually need it, and when you do, you'll be about the same. Although Boss Liu is also a little drumming in his heart, he still has to pretend to be righteous and awe-inspiring.

"I'm afraid that if I use it!" The fat boss was still not at ease, he didn't even dare to touch anything in this house when he walked, and when he opened the door, he used the soles of his shoes as his hands, as if there were countless germs lying on everything here.

The person who came to pick up the airport was a middle-aged black man, named Hassan, Hong Tao originally thought he was a local, but when he asked, he found out that this was a Frenchman, the person in charge of Naison's company in Tanzania, and Hong Tao had to rely on him to make specific arrangements for all the itinerary of their trip.

Hong Tao and they were arranged in a five-star hotel called HyattRegency, which translates into Chinese is the Hyatt Hotel, don't look at the streets and buildings in Dar es Salaam, most of them are low and old houses, but in this area near the coast is still very well built, there are several high-end hotels, similar to our resort facilities are also a lot, and the restaurants and supermarkets on the street are very clean and tidy.

The facilities in the hotel are very good, very comfortable, some of the layout and decoration are even better than the five-star hotels in the big cities in China, there is no special difference in other places, the only difference is that most of the waiters here are local blacks, Hong Tao from the hotel to the guest room, a total of only 2 white staff, all standing in the front desk, a man and a woman, but the age is not young.

After Hassan placed Hong Tao and his party in the hotel, he drove away, and when he left, he told Hong Tao to leave the hotel and go out. It's best not to go too far, especially not to leave the area where the hotel is located without a local guide. According to him, this area is a tourist area, specializing in receiving tourists from Europe and other places for vacation, so not only is the building and facilities more advanced, but also the security is relatively good, but after leaving here, he can't guarantee many things.

Since Nathan has a game guide business in many parts of Africa, their guides are not just here but can be found in many countries in Africa. So Hong Tao and his party needed to stay in Dar es Salaam for a day or two to wait for the one-on-one guides from all over Africa to meet up.

That Hassan was also afraid that Hong Tao would be bored with them in the hotel, so he gave them the idea of taking a boat from the pier here to a small island in the middle of the sea to have fun. According to Hassan, the island is called Zanzibar, which is an Arabic name that means very bluntly: the Black Coast. Hassan said it was a very, very beautiful island that was very, very well worth visiting.

Since Hassan used two very, extraordinary words to emphasize the beauty of that island, it was not easy for Hong Tao to ignore his advice. Besides, if you just stay in the hotel, it's really not interesting. And it seems a little unsafe to go shopping on the street alone, so Hong Tao discussed it with Boss Liu and Fat Boss. I decided to go to this small island first.

There is an old Chinese saying: Soldiers and horses go first before grain and grass are moved! Hong Tao felt that it should be slightly changed: the soldiers and horses did not move, and the intelligence went first. In this strange country where the eyes are dark, no matter where he goes, Hong Tao feels that he has to find someone to ask carefully before leaving.

The three of them are newcomers, and the accompanying staff of the Nathan company is a clerical staff who works in the office. He followed Hong Tao and their purpose here was not to provide any services to Hong Tao and them, but to supervise whether the local reception staff acted in accordance with the contract on behalf of Naison Company. He didn't know anything about the island.

But this can't help Hong Tao, he once noticed when he settled in this hotel, although most of the black employees here, but they basically know some English, at least the black service staff Hong Tao saw can speak English, as long as they can communicate, Hong Tao has a way to get the information he wants.

So Hong Tao pretended to run to the café on the second floor, and after seeing that there were almost no customers, he sat down and asked for a cup of coffee. By the time a black guy brought coffee to his table, he placed two $10 bills in the black lad's tray. Then there was nothing more, and the black guy immediately bent down, laughed so hard that he almost bared his gums, and gave him what he thought was the most accurate answer to all of Hong Tao's questions.

According to the introduction of this black boy, this Zanzibar is actually a general name for two islands, the larger one in the south is called Wenguja Island, and the smaller one in the north is called Pemba Island. It was an independent state until the 70s, part of the Sultan of Oman, before being incorporated into the United Republic of Tanzania.

There is one more sentence to say here that in the name of Tanzania, the word Tanzania means that it refers to the land located in the part of the African continent, and the meaning of the word Zanzibar is Zanzibar Island, it seems that this island is not very, very beautiful, at least it should be very, very famous in the country of Tanzania, or it is impossible to deliberately put a mulberry in the name of the country.

The most famous thing on these two islands is cloves, yes, the kind of cloves that are used as spices, so Zanzibar also has another name, which is called Lilac Island. In addition, according to the black guy at the café, there is also a stone town on the island, which was built during the previous sultanates.

This black guy's English has a strong and unique taste, Hong Tao can't tell what it is, anyway, it took him a long time to make his ears almost become donkey ears, and he can generally understand so much. Oh no, he also understood one place, which was that the black guy said that there was a ferry called "Kilimanjaro" on the pier, which was the most comfortable ferry from the mainland to Zanzibar, and the first class cost $30 per person.

The Hyatt Regency Hotel where Hong Tao and the others settled in is very close to the ferry terminal, and they can almost see it from the balcony. According to the information obtained by Hong Tao, from 7 o'clock every morning, there is a ferry to Zanzibar every 2 hours, but now it is almost lunch, and the sailing time will take up more than an hour, rather than rushing over in a hurry, it is better to rest today, find a good restaurant to eat, and set off early tomorrow morning.

As for the restaurant, the black man also pointed out a general direction for Hong Tao, and it was said that there was a Chinese restaurant not far from the Hyatt Regency. As for the taste, the black guy didn't know very well, Chinese food was considered a high consumption here, and an income level like him would not usually be touched.

The name of this Chinese restaurant is also called "West Lake", Hong Tao curiously asked a middle-aged Asian woman in charge of the front desk reception, sure enough, the owner of this restaurant is a Hangzhou native, most of the employees here are all brought by him from his hometown, like this middle-aged woman standing at the front desk is the boss's sister-in-law.

In this place where the eyes are full of black and white skin, Hong Tao and the sister-in-law are very happy, this is not like Canada or the United States, many big cities have Chinese settlements, and it is not the main choice for Chinese immigrants or study abroad, so the Chinese here are very rare, not to mention Chinese, except for people of Indian descent, there are really not many Asians here.

This Hangzhou sister-in-law doesn't look like a southerner, but her temper is very refreshing, and when she met Boss Liu and the fat boss who were more refreshing, she quickly became acquainted, she simply didn't stand at the front desk to greet the guests, found a little girl for her, and then ran into the kitchen and went around, and after coming out, she sat at a table with Hong Tao and chatted.

Having been so lucky enough to meet someone who could communicate freely and had lived in the area for several years, Hong Tao did not intend to waste the opportunity to consult, he went from Zanzibar to his private hunting grounds, asking almost every question he could think of.
