Chapter 136: You're a Mature Travel System
In addition to Paris, there is another place in France that is known to many people, called Provence, and the name of his region is called Provence-Alpes-CΓ΄te d'Azur.
Chen Xing first knew that this place was because of lavender, and it is not often said on the Internet that the hometown of French lavender is this place.
The French name places are as simple as they give to Western food, just spelling together the names of the three most proud provinces in the region, and almost all of the most popular attractions in the south of France are located in these three places.
Because of the popularity of these three places, almost all people who come to France choose to go south after visiting Paris.
The place where Chen Xing is going is not Provence, after all, this is not the season when lavender blooms. He's going to the Alps, where this year's Winter Photo Festival is taking place, and it's the second largest photography event in France after Rencontres d'Arles, where many photographs are sent from photographers from all over the world.
The Alps are actually quite famous. But it's not the region that's famous, it's a candy brand, but the company isn't French, italian, and the Alps are a big mountain range that straddles many European countries, and the French don't have the rights here.
Chen Xing's train departs Paris at 7.50 minutes and goes to the Nice region of the Alpes-Maritimes.
There are a lot of people on the train, a large part of them are going to Nice, and the proportion of tourists among them is very large.
Because Nice is not only the fifth-most populous city in France, but also the second-most visited city in France after Paris.
It was a cold morning in Paris at the end of November, and there was a smell of urine coming from the Gare de Lyon.
endured the smell and got into the car, and as soon as he sat down, he saw two policemen pressing a thief past the car, which made Chen Xing sigh once again that the security in Paris was really poor...... Although he hadn't encountered it himself, he couldn't bear to hear or see such things all day long.
A person in front of Chen Xing also sighed: "The thieves in Paris go to work so early. "This person is about twenty-seven or eighteen, and his appearance is estimated to be the favorite of young literary women who come to Paris, and it is the appearance of the male protagonists of many romantic movies related to Paris.
Chen Xing said: "After all, it's the New Year, and I want to have a good year." β
"Yes, Christmas is coming, you speak French so well, I thought you were a tourist, hello, my name is Gerald."
"My name is Chen Xing." As soon as she had finished introducing herself, another lady came over with a small bag in one hand and a hot cup of coffee in the other, and sat down in the seat next to Gerald.
After sitting down, he shook his long golden curly hair. She wore a tight sweater and a fur top, both short, revealing her waist, looking slender but powerful, and a tight light-colored jeans on the lower half of her body, and her round hips made many people in the carriage look this way.
Since you still bring coffee in? If you make a mistake, you should buy a cup yourself. Getting up so early this morning, Chen Xing still has some sleepiness.
There is no need to check tickets at the train station in Paris, so even if Chen Xing is carrying a travel bag and a suitcase, he can walk in elegantly with a coffee in one hand...... Maybe that's French elegance.
At this time, the staff at the station came over slowly and began to check the ticket, the action was very slow, and it felt that she was looking at the information on the ticket very carefully, and each one had to be read for a long time, but in fact, the ticket did not have much information worth paying attention to.
As soon as the car started, Chen Xing's eyes were slightly spent. [The city is very old, we are very young] [If you are lucky enough to live in Paris when you were young, then she will be with you wherever you go in the rest of your life, because Paris is a feast of flow] [Congratulations on your talent: writing] [Many times we can see these world-famous attractions from books, TV, and movies, but we don't know what the real them will be like, every trip abroad will let you further understand the world, get close to the world, and open your eyes - the series of missions for the long journey opens, Every city you set foot in will give you a certain reward] [You visit Paris and get cash dollars, which will later be sent to the traveler's bank account by transfer, please pay attention to check]!
Chen Xing's long-awaited thing actually came true! He was complaining about the system when he first got the system and didn't start traveling, why can't he go to a place and give himself a sum of money?
There is no such setting that can be called a travel system? After all, he is just a photographer, and if he wants to make money, he needs to be qualified, unlike writers, celebrities or something, suddenly a hit will make you popular all over the country, and the circle of money will be soft.
20,000 yuan in a city, although not a lot, is enough to live in any part of the world for several days.
Let's just say that in Paris, 20,000 Huaxia coins can be exchanged for 2,070 euros, and Chen Xing's daily accommodation fee is only 13, which is completely enough.
In addition, Chen Xing can't earn a penny, and his future travel life should not be as economical as this time in Paris, what travel souvenirs, high-end dessert shops, French restaurants, Chen Xing didn't go once, I'm afraid that the budget will be overpaid.
After reading this reward, Chen Xing leaned back on his seat and breathed a sigh of relief. He was still thinking about how he had visited so many attractions in Paris, and why no system rewards had popped up for so many days, so he was waiting for him here.
However, the system's writing is quite good, and Chen Xing likes what he said. Paris is a flowing feast...... [this sentence comes from Hemingway] The sentence of the system suddenly popped up, just a simple introduction, but Chen Xing inexplicably felt that the system was despising him.
There are so many books in the world, how can I read them all! Chen Xing was quite aggrieved. However, as soon as he thought of the richness of this reward, the grievances immediately disappeared, and he hurriedly took out the notebook from his backpack, put it on the table in front of him, and opened the document.
He's going to write a travelogue. In fact, it is not a travelogue, it is still the manuscript sent to China National Geographic, and Editor Kang has urged Chen Xing several times, but he has only written half of it for such a long time.
It's so hard, it's so hard to write! Now that I have writing skills, I can read what I have written.
I actually wrote this garbage? Chen Xing was still shocked. In fact, this writing skill is not as amazing as Chen Xing thought, it is not that after getting this skill, Chen Xing's writing will inevitably be very good, and the writing will be 100% a big sell, which is not the case.
The system is to connect the books that Chen Xing has read before, and I don't know what method he used to connect with writing.
As soon as Chen Xing wanted to write something, a lot of relevant content would be remembered by Chen Xing, remembering who and who described this kind of environment, and what he was thinking about when writing this text.
By the way, it also strengthened Chen Xing's ability to describe words, organize and so on. So, writing actually requires a little talent.
Not everyone has read more than 10,000 books and writes like a god. Gerald saw that Chen Xing took out his notebook and began to write, and asked a little curiously, "What are you doing?" Are you working? He could tell from Chen Xing's constantly tapping keyboard that Chen Xing was not watching movies, playing games or other entertainment, but the first thing he thought of was work.
"No, I'm writing a travelogue."
"Travelogue? Are you a traveler? Chen Xing thought for a while and said, "I'm just a student. β
"Student, my God, you're so young!" He couldn't tell Chen Xing's age from Chen Xing's appearance, but he felt that Chen Xing's temperament was not like those students he had seen before, and asked, "Then you are studying in Paris?" β
"Yes." So, the two began to talk about the security of Paris. The girl looked at Chen Xing with interest.
Gerald must be very handsome in the eyes of Westerners, and many romance movies like to invite men like him to star, but in the eyes of the same white people, Chen Xing is obviously more amorous than Gerald.
Just like there are two handsome guys chatting in Huaxia, still in Chinese, the most striking thing is definitely the foreigner who speaks Chinese.
"Excuse me, what are you talking about?" Chen Xing knew that she was British when he heard this accent.
Since he was reminded by Teacher Zhang at Huaping Girls' High School, he specially searched for the differences in the accents of several English-speaking countries on station b, and in general, the British accent is the best, and the American accent is like a regional dialect in comparison.
If it weren't for the fact that the United States has such a great influence in the world today, it would definitely be despised if it came to Britain with an American accent.
Gerald was quick to say in English: "We are talking about the security of Paris, and every time I go to Paris on business, I will discover the lower limit of Paris, and I have heard that the thief caught in the carriage before is still blatantly stealing." The girl smiled and said, "Maybe the person who was stolen is too much like a tourist." "Like many tourist cities, local thieves love to find tourists, due to inconvenient communication, tourists rarely call the police successfully, and then foreigners come to Paris, many times they will choose more than less.
Then she asked Chen Xing: "What nationality are you from?" Do you speak English? β
"Huaxia." Chen Xing replied.
"Wow, Huaxia people, I just saw the clip of your military parade this year on YouTube yesterday, the soldiers of Huaxia are so handsome!" Hey?
Sounds like an Englishman who has a crush on China? Gerald also wanted to talk more to this elegant girl, and asked for her name and nationality, but her age was never revealed.
The name translates very well, it is called Salonia, and it is not surprising that Chen Xing is an Englishman. But Salonia was more interested in Chen Xing, seeing that Chen Xing didn't like to talk, she used topics to pull Chen Xing in from time to time, resulting in a chat environment for several people that had not been cold, but after two hours, the topic was not matched.
It's a six-hour train ride from Paris to Nice, and it's impossible to talk for six hours all the time.
Chen Xing chatted and wrote at the same time, thinking about the scenery he encountered in Chunmanzhai at that time, and quickly wrote this short travelogue, and after writing it, Chen Xing felt refreshed physically and mentally.
I finally wrote it out. Editor Kang kept urging him before, and he thought that Chen Xing was delaying the draft.
But in fact, Chen Xing has worked very hard, but if he can't write it, he really can't write it, his writing essay is good, but he can't finish writing a travelogue in the same way as a junior high school student's essay, right?
He did. But I was so disgusting that I deleted it myself. Huaxia National Geographic is a nationwide magazine, and if you write it like this, it's better not to be on it.
Seeing that there was a cup of coffee next to him, Chen Xing subconsciously picked it up, but soon realized that it was not his own thing, but the table was a little small, resulting in Salonia's coffee being placed next to Chen Xing's computer.
The main thing is that these days in France I am also used to having something to drink a cup of coffee, I am used to it. Fortunately, I didn't start drinking, but I just took it.
Salonia looked at Chen Xing with beautiful eyes, and Chen Xing said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm used to it." β
"It's okay, are you a writer?" Chen Xing and Gerald used French to talk about this before, and then they have been talking about what they have seen and heard in various countries in English, for example, Chen Xing talked about what China is like, Gerald talked about France, and Salonia said England.
"No, it's a travelogue for a magazine in our country."
"Travelogue? Are you a photographer? Salonia quickly reacted, she went to Nice to participate in the Winter Photography Festival, and when she saw a man writing a travelogue, she would naturally think of him as a photographer.
"Yes." Gerald snorted in confusion and asked, "Aren't you a student?" β
"That's right, I studied photography." Chen Xing is very calm and handsome on the surface, pretending to be a master, but he is very happy in his heart...... Finally able to say what he learned naturally, Chen Xing didn't dare to say that he studied hotel management when others asked him before.
As a vocational student, you have the opportunity to be assigned a job by the school after graduation. Some of the seniors in his major have entered some local hotels in Sweet City...... Be a waiter.
Although you studied hotel management, do you really want to be a manager? Wake up. However, because he has learned a lot of related knowledge in the past three years, Chen Xing has a good understanding of various aspects of the hotel and the health situation.
"Are you going to the Winter Photo Festival?" Salonia asked.
"You too?" Salonia stroked her long hair, nodded and said, "That's right, but I'm just visiting as a tourist, you study photography, do you have any works on the exhibition?" β
"I only found out about this festival after I came to Paris, and the registration time was long past the time to sign up." The theme of the Winter Photography Festival is a snow scene, Chen Xingzhi has a very suitable work, but it is indeed too late, this time it is mainly to see how others are shooting, and then by the way to see if there is anything worth visiting in the city of Nice.
Now it seems that even if there is nothing, there are at least 20,000 Huaxia coins. Salonia saw Chen Xing say this in a tone that if I signed up, I would definitely be able to exhibit, and she was also very touched by his confidence, thinking that the men in Huaxia are not all nerds, but also have very interesting people.
