Chapter 41: The Eurostar

"What? Do you want to go around the European continent?" At the dinner table, as soon as the fat man heard Yang Jing's words, he was so surprised that he didn't even eat.

"Yes, it's been two years since I came to the UK, and I haven't been on the European continent. Yang Jing nodded and said, "In the past, we didn't have money to play, but now that we have money, if we don't play again, I'm so sorry for myself, what do you say, fat man." ”

The fat man nodded and said, "yes, if you don't go back, you can't brag with your old classmates, right?" Go, go, I support you! When all the things on my side are dealt with, I'll call you, and I'll go to you." ”

Fat Man's major is one of the ace majors of Royal Holloway, media, so his graduation thesis is much more complicated than Yang Jing's thesis on management, he is now following his mentor to do a project, and after completing this project, his final thesis defense is a matter of going through the motions. So the fat man is still relatively busy during this time.

"Well, well, then you can take care of your own only son while I'm out for a while. ”

"Damn, that's what I'm afraid of. In the past two years, just eating your cooking, I have basically no sense of the food outside. Oh my God, what can I do when you're leaving?" said the fat man with a sad face.

"It's just weight loss!" Yang Jing said with a smile.

The fat man hatefully added a chicken leg, and stuffed it directly into his mouth, and after a few chirps in the big mouth, he soon spit out a complete chicken leg bone, and the meat on a chicken leg was like this.

Satisfied with the napkin, he wiped the corners of his mouth, and the fat man asked, "Then do you know what it takes to travel to the European continent?"

Yang Jing said: "I was about to ask you this. ”

The fat man picked up another chopstick and put hazelnut mushrooms in his mouth, and said while eating: "Britain has not signed the Schengen Agreement, so don't look at Britain as a big European country, but if you want to travel to other countries on the European continent, you still need to apply for a visa." But don't worry, you are an international student and hold a UK long-term residence visa, so it is relatively easy for you to apply for a Schengen visa. ”

Britain is really an amazing country, maybe the brain circuits in this country are different from those in other countries, so Britain often does things that make people feel unbelievable.

For example, the United Kingdom withdrew from the European Union, and for example, the United Kingdom has insisted on not signing the Schengen agreement.

It's all something that doesn't make people know why. Of course, this may also have a lot to do with the arrogance in the bones of the British, after all, it was once the most powerful empire in the world, and now it is ranked low, of course, the British are not willing to accept this reality, but they still want to be the boss of Europe, so they usually do this kind of unbelievable thing to show that they are different.

The fat man swallowed the hazelnut mushroom in his mouth and said: "First of all, you must have enough money on your bank card, you need a deposit certificate to go to a country that has signed the Schengen Agreement in Europe, I remember that it seems to be sixty pounds a day, for example, if you go to Germany for ten days, then you also need to have at least six hundred pounds in your bank card." The same goes for other countries in the Schengen area. Of course, your current deposit certificate is absolutely fine, and people like you who have a deposit of 200,000 pounds, those countries in the Schengen area welcome you, and it is easy for you to apply for multiple entries for half a year or even a year. ”

After a pause, the fat man said helplessly: "This is a damn capitalist country, everything is about money!"

Yang Jing smiled and didn't squeak.

The fat man continued: "With the deposit, you don't have to worry about anything, just take a copy of your passport, a photo, and apply directly online." Most of the Schengen visas for others take about a week, and if you are so rich, it is estimated that you can come down in three days. ”

"Damn the capitalist countries!" the fat man added angrily.

"Okay, such a delicious chicken stew with mushrooms can't stop your mouth, eat it quickly, if you don't eat it, I'll eat it all!"

"Don't pay the price, I'm in a hurry with you if you eat it all!" The fat man was like an old hen guarding the chickens, and he opened his hands and directly took the pot of chicken stewed mushrooms, and he had the courage to dominate this dish and not let you eat it.

Yang Jing didn't think it was wrong, picked up his bowl, walked to the pressure cooker, scooped two spoonfuls of chicken soup from the pressure cooker, and then slowly returned to his seat and drank the chicken soup.

After eating and drinking, the fat man went to pick up the dishes and chopsticks, and after Yang Jing went downstairs to copy his passport, he found two two-inch color bareheaded photos from the drawer, turned on the computer and began to apply for a Schengen visa at night.

As the fat man said, the rich man is the one who runs errands in England.

Three days later, Yang Jing got a Schengen visa, of course, a French visa, as long as he got a French visa, then Yang Jing can go to the twenty-four countries in Europe that have signed the Schengen Agreement. Yang Jing's first stop was to prepare to go to Paris, France.

The fastest and most convenient way to get from London to Paris is undoubtedly the Eurostar.

The day after he got his visa, the fat man drove Yang Jing to St Pancras Station, which is located between the British Library and King's Cross Station. In October 2006, after eight years of renovation, the station finally became the first London station for Eurostar.

Yang Jing didn't book tickets online in advance, but with his current net worth, he doesn't have to care about those discounted tickets.

Tickets for the Eurostar are still expensive, with the most expensive luxury first class tickets costing up to €360 one-way, which is even more expensive than a flight from London to Paris.

However, if you book online in advance, you can even book a very low ticket for 39.5 euros, which is, of course, a second-class ticket.

Yang Jing's desire to go around the European continent is only a matter of the last few days, where does he have time to book tickets in advance? If you want to book that kind of ultra-low-priced ticket, you need to book at least three months in advance, and the time for this kind of ticket is not very good, either an early train or a late train......

Yang Jing now has money in his pocket, so naturally he doesn't need to save in this regard. He spent 290 euros to buy a first-class ticket, and after hugging the fat man, he went straight to the bus after passing the security check.

The Eurostar is very comfortable, the service is good, and the speed is quite fast, although it is not as fast as the domestic high-speed rail, but it only took 2 hours and 22 minutes to arrive at the busiest railway station in Europe - Gare du Nord.
