In winter, the inhabitants of northern Sweden like to travel to the southern or southern islands of Sweden, or to Central Europe.

The reason for this is none other than the word cold.

The day is fine, as soon as it gets dark today, the sun is completely hidden, and the bitter cold of winter comes out of the ground.

So there are no pedestrians on the streets, and you can't see shops doing business with their doors open.

Chen Xing was thinking that Gothenburg was like this, so how should the cities in the Arctic Circle live?

I'm afraid it's not like a ghost town at night.

Street lamps illuminate the road brightly, and along the way, you can see the small warm lamps that the surrounding residents decorate on the doorways or roofs. The vehicle then turns into the alley, but the alley is also lit and quite wide.

This alley is a bit like Chen Xing's residence in Paris, with various shops on one side and rows of houses, mostly two-storey, on the other.

"Here we are." Nathan said.

He parked his car on the side of the road, and as soon as Chen Xing got out of the car, he saw the dazzling signboard on the store, which was different from the monochrome signboards around him.

Nathan walked forward with Chen Xing and said, "This is a bar opened by my friend, Iris means rainbow in Swedish, she likes rainbows very much, so she must make the sign like this, the lights of several colors keep flashing, and the eyes are bad." ”

Sure enough, it's a friend-like bar.

Chen Xing felt that this difference was very distinctive, so he said: "It's okay, it's because of this that the bar is conspicuous, isn't it?" ”

"What does a broken bar need to be conspicuous?" He laughed and scolded.

Push open the door and enter.

There was music all of a sudden, but the music was not noisy, the light was dim with a little blue, and I could see things clearly in this light, but I couldn't see clearly, there was a hazy feeling, the more I went inside, the brighter it was, the smell of alcohol was accompanied by aroma, heat, and the stuffiness of the crowd gathering place.

"Huh? Nathan? Is it Nathan? ”

"I haven't seen you in days."

"I heard that you went to receive the big photographer, come and tell us how the big photographer's temper is?"

"Yes, I heard you say so mysteriously, did you go to learn two tricks from him?"

In the corner of the bar, a group of people greeted Nathan warmly after seeing him.

But they can only see their friends clearly, after all, everyone is so familiar, even if they can't see their faces clearly, the way they walk, the style of their clothes, and even the general shape they always remember.

As for the people around Nathan, they didn't pay much attention.

"Tom, if you have the idea of learning photography, then you have found a treasure, let me introduce it to you. This one is the winner of the Arles Photography Prize, an internationally renowned young photographer, Mr. Chen Xing from China! ”

After he finished speaking, he was waiting for his friends to speak.

But everyone was stunned.

Why did you bring the main lord here, didn't you say it earlier, they were still joking with Chen Xing just now!

How embarrassing!

But fortunately, everyone reacted quickly, and a few people crackled and applauded, so that many people in the bar looked over, and someone asked from afar: "What good things have you encountered?" Say it and make us happy too? ”

"Nathan? Come and drink! ”

You can see that there are many people in this bar who know each other.

However, there were also some first-time visitors who looked curiously at the group of applauding men and did not speak.

In this case, Chen Xing didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, the people watching TV in the distance were very loud, especially yelling hard: "Good ball!! ”

This sound caught the attention of most of the bar.

"Damn! How did this ball get in! ”

"Great! It's a draw! If you're lucky, you can win! ”

"Win shit!"

The bar was bustling with all the time.

Football in Europe is a near-universal activity, and even in Paris, France, where you have to walk with arrogance, there will be people in the bar who fight over a ball, and then the fans of the two teams will scold each other.

Chen Xing didn't understand why they liked football so much, but he could often see fans arguing in European bars.

Asian football is inherently weak, let alone domestically, how can Chen Xing, a post-00 generation, like football in this case?

But he liked the atmosphere.

Nadan's group did not participate in the public debate at all, and watched the excitement with a little wine like Chen Xing, a melon-eating crowd.

Chen Xing has begun to get used to the taste of this bar.

People are like this, and when you enter a bar from the outside street, there will always be people who are uncomfortable, especially those with a keen sense of smell. But as long as you stay in this environment for ten minutes, you can hardly feel the pollution caused by the environment...... Unless you subconsciously dislike this place.

When everyone sat down again, and there was no excitement to watch, Nathan and the others refilled their glasses with beer and continued to chat.

"Handsome guy Chen, get to know me, my name is Tom, Tom Hanks's Tom, I was just joking just now."

"Understood." Chen Xing smiled and raised his glass.

He could feel that they had no ill will when they said themselves, and it wasn't something nasty, so what was there to care about?

"My name is Orid Rodriguez."

Nadan quickly swallowed a sip of beer and said, "Chen, don't look at him as big and thick, but he is a poet." ”

"Wow, that's amazing."

Oride's face turned red as soon as he could, he should be a thin-skinned person, and said hesitantly: "I'm just a hobby, a hobby, I work in a library, I'm a library assistant." ”

This profession is even more powerful.

Chen Xing said: "In our country, there are many great literati who came out of the library. ”

"Really?"

Chen Xing nodded, and then said, "I can't even feel that this is Sweden, your English is really good." ”

"Of course, apart from the United Kingdom, our country should be the European country that speaks English best." Nathan said.

"Why?" Chen Xing was a little curious.

There is no doubt that the dominant language in Sweden is Swedish, and this can be found in the various details of Sweden, such as the price tags in the shops and supermarkets, the language of road signs, the legal terms, and the housing contracts, all of which are made up of pure Swedish.

But their English proficiency is also quite good, as Chen Xing said.

Just a little accented.

Actually, you will have an accent when you speak English, so don't think that the English you learn in school or hear in the listening test is the English that is used all over the world.

When I go around a foreign country, it is not uncommon for two foreigners in different cities to not understand both sides after the conversation.

After going abroad, I am not afraid of your Chinese English, but I am afraid that you will not be able to open your mouth.
