Chapter 9 Going Abroad
Yi Xuan, who went abroad for the first time, can be said to be really a junior brother, and the first time he took a plane, it made Yi Xuan make a lot of jokes. When the plane was about to take off, Yi Xuan was nervous because the engine speed was speeding up and the plane was shaking, so he wanted to go to the bathroom, and the flight attendant saw Yi Xuan unbuckling his seat belt and wanted to stand up, so she shouted loudly, and Yi Xuan stood there at a loss.
At this time, the plane began to taxi and take off, Yi Xuan fell into the seat, and then came down honestly, and after the plane stabilized, the flight attendant came over to explain patiently and patiently, and reminded him to pay attention to safety before giving up.
It wasn't until he entered the stratosphere that Yi Xuan really relaxed, but after all, he was still a little nervous, and kept asking the stewardess for water to drink, and the stewardess thought he was interesting to him. But looking at Yi Xuan's otaku appearance, he lost interest.
After the plane landed in the imperial capital, it was not immediately away, but also had to meet with the British embassy staff to reimburse the cost of air tickets and domestic flights to the United States. So after Yi Xuan arrived in the imperial capital, he didn't have time to take a good tour, so he rushed to the British Embassy. After all, Yi Xuan is a little-known little person, don't think about picking up the airport or something.
After experiencing the deep feeling of the imperial capital as an imperial block, it took Yi Xuan more than 3 hours to arrive at the British Embassy. The attitude of the embassy staff is still good, except for the fact that Yi Xuan wanted to apply for a visa at first, the overall situation is still pleasant.
In the conversation with Yi Xuan, the counselor was very surprised by Yi Xuan's fluent London English, and praised Yi Xuan for being invited to participate in the world's physics event.
Of course, these are polite words, but the academic status of Nature Magazine in the UK is very high, as the cultural counselor of the United Kingdom, he is also very curious about the invitation of a Chinese scholar to Nature Magazine, but he simply wants to meet Yi Xuan, but seeing Yi Xuan's tired appearance, out of the cultivation of a British gentleman, he quickly ended this meeting.
With the help of the counselor, Yi Xuan quickly completed all the formalities. After completing all the formalities, Yi Xuan didn't have time to express his gratitude and set off to the airport again, preparing to stay up at the airport for an afternoon.
Because the staff of the British Embassy bought Yi Xuan a ticket for the sake of convenience, it was a flight that took off that night, but the plane actually transferred in Seoul, South Korea and then flew to Los Angeles in the United States, not a direct flight, Yi Xuan was a little headache.
At least it's free, isn't it? Yi Xuan, who figured it out, was ready to stay at the airport for an afternoon, using his newly bought laptop to seriously revise the script of the speech he was going to make.
It's a pity that Yi Xuan didn't expect that the embassy staff didn't buy the night ticket for convenience, but after calculation, because Yi Xuan was actually stuck in the imperial capital for more than 5 hours before he arrived at the airport, because he was pitiful to catch up with the peak of getting off work at night.
Yi Xuan, who was blocked on the road, not only slept a little, but also chatted with the taxi driver, feeling that even if he didn't have time to visit the imperial capital, it was equivalent to a visit from the driver's mouth, and it was still worth the trip.
Yi Xuan also blocked these two times, if the vast number of people in the imperial capital knew that Yi Xuan's thoughts would be concentrated to give him a middle finger, you would try it every day, see if you are still in a good mood?
There are still 3 hours before the plane takes off, after Yi Xuan changed his boarding pass, he didn't want to go into the security check for the time being, and walked around the airport, after all, he boarded the plane without shopping at the capital airport of Southwest Province, so many facilities in the airport made Yi Xuan novel.
After strolling around, he found that in addition to eating at the airport, there were also many banks, and Yi Xuan, who originally wanted to eat something, remembered that he was going to the United States soon and had not exchanged dollars, so he hurriedly went to the bank to exchange some dollars. Yi Xuan felt that it was enough for the time being, and he didn't buy anything, just walked around and came back.
Just walked around like this, and ate some fast food casually, and began to board the plane with the flow of people through the security check, because the time to pass through the security check was unexpectedly long, but when Yi Xuan finished his work, he was about to start checking the ticket and boarding.
This time on the plane, Yi Xuan also had a little experience, and he didn't make any jokes last time. The only thing that surprised Yi Xuan was that Nature Magazine arranged business class for himself, so Yi Xuan was new for a while, and sighed that the British are still very generous.
Because I had to transfer to Seoul, I took Asiana Airlines, and the flight attendants on the whole plane were of course Koreans, but fortunately, Yi Xuan had Korean in the language he first learned, so he took the opportunity to chat with the flight attendant and exercised his speaking ability in Korean.
But what surprised Yi Xuan the most was that although he was sitting in business class, there were actually Chinese people in front and back, left and right, is there so many Chinese going to South Korea now? Or are they all going to the United States like me? When he arrived in Seoul, Yi Xuan was surprised to find that he really went to South Korea, and Chinese people really like South Korea very much.
It took only 2 hours to fly from the imperial capital to Seoul, which was shorter than the capital of Southwest Province to the imperial capital. Yi Xuan walked off the plane with the crowd, and was sighing about how to mix in the more than 10 hours in the middle of the transfer, when a news made Yi Xuan breathe a sigh of relief.
On the plane, because Yi Xuan always pestered the flight attendant in charge of business class to practice speaking, although it would not be misunderstood like the flight attendant on a domestic flight, it also made the flight attendant deeply impressed by Yi Xuan.
When Yi Xuan was about to get off the plane, he told Yi Xuan that travelers with U.S. visas could stay in South Korea visa-free for 24 hours.
Yi Xuan, who heard the news, breathed a sigh of relief after thanking the kind flight attendant, it seems that he can go to the city for a walk, the United States is too good, no wonder so many people want to immigrate, and they can actually be visa-free.
Because there will be a transfer flight, although Yi Xuan has no luggage to check, but in order to avoid trouble, he still changed the boarding pass first, used the already basic proficient Korean to civilize the direction, changed some won and took a taxi to Seoul City.
Although he is a post-80s generation, he is not too interested in Korean pop culture and even the Korean Wave, and he is helpless just watching his mother chase Korean dramas when she is fine. It's all the same soap opera, and the plot is all so bloody. It has been complained about countless times by the majority of netizens on the Internet. But these K-pop fans are still happy to do it, it seems that people still have merit, or they wouldn't be so successful.
After all, because of the relationship between learning Korean, Yi Xuan still has a certain understanding of Korean culture, and he took this opportunity to visit the famous places in Seoul, of course, he didn't have a lot of time, so he had to go to the places that often appear on TV.
After all, Yi Xuan rarely pays attention to Hallyu TV series and music, but Korean barbecue has been famous for a long time, although he has also eaten barbecue under the Korean barbecue flag in China, since he came to South Korea, of course he has to eat authentic.
It's a pity that the plane was the next morning, Yi Xuan could only go to the South Korean business district in the first half of the night, basically I didn't feel too cold, I had to go through a man to visit the business district, what is there to buy? But treating himself to a barbecue still made him addicted, but the price was a bit expensive, especially Korean beef, which was a bit outrageous, and it was actually more expensive than Japanese Kobe beef.
Eat enough to play, must pass through a person and nothing to visit, in the middle of the night had to rush back to the airport, in the waiting hall, find a seat on no one to sit down, open the computer on the Internet, must wait for more than 10 hours on the plane can not be online, by the way to the parents QQ message their current situation, so that they do not worry.
Now with Yi Xuan's strong mental power, the control of sleep is very powerful, unless he wants to sleep, or he can not sleep for several days in a row.
But the long-term habits and sleep are good for health, so he still insists on sleeping every day, but the second half of the night at the airport is really boring, and the plane will not take off until 10 o'clock in the morning, Yi Xuan, who is ready to get on the plane to sleep, is still ready to have a good time at night.
The time for entertainment is generally relatively fast, and after browsing the latest nature magazines on the Internet, Yi Xuan picked up his small iron piece and played with permutations and combinations.
When it was almost 9 o'clock the next morning, Yi Xuan was still immersed in his personal game, if it weren't for a kind aunt next to him to pat him, it is estimated that he would be prone to direct mistakes.
It turned out that when he was playing, it looked like a person staring at a piece of iron in a daze to others. The aunt thought that he was sick, so she kindly patted him.
After Yi Xuan understood, he quickly stood up and thanked his aunt, looked at the time and hurriedly ran to the security checkpoint. On the road, seeing many people taking pictures around a woman in front of him, and screaming, blocking the intersection, Yi Xuan became very anxious.
In desperation, Yi Xuan squeezed away the crowd and ran forward quickly. Because he was running too fast, his satchel flashed the woman in front of him and almost fell.
Yi Xuan hurriedly apologized to this lady in Korean: "I'm very sorry, I'm really in a hurry, please forgive me." With that, he ran away. The woman's complaint was faintly heard, but he didn't care if he wanted to get through the security check quickly.
"Ah, why are you so rude, is it so casual to apologize?" The voice is very good, but wearing sunglasses, I can't tell what it looks like, but seeing the fashionable dress and slender figure, it should be a beauty.
Yi Xuan didn't think much about it, and after passing the security check, he almost started to board the plane. But what he didn't expect was to board the plane, and his troubles had just begun.
Yi Xuan was the first to change his boarding pass, so the location was just right next to the window. After Yi Xuan sat down on the plane, he quickly sent a text message to his parents to report his safety, and turned off his mobile phone.
Because it was business class, Yi Xuan decided to sleep well on the plane, after all, he didn't sleep last night, so he could take this opportunity to sleep for a while, maybe he would wake up.
