Chapter 259: A Livable City

The purpose of the Mbeya Electrician Technical School is also to train qualified electricians for East Africa.

In this era, electricians are definitely extremely scarce jobs, as a new industry, there are very few cities in the world that popularize electricity, and even most cities in Europe are still in the era of oil lamps and gas lamps, and there are naturally not many electricians.

Mbeya City has hired more than 30 old European electricians this time, as teachers of Mbeya City Electrician Technical School, after all, the power industry has not appeared for many years, and it is natural to say how valuable these old electricians are.

"Teachers, if the school is going to open now, it will take two or three months, the whole school is relatively empty, and the personnel and equipment are not complete for the time being, so I suggest that you do not live in the school first, the city government has arranged a house for you in the urban area, and then you can prepare for classes with peace of mind, and then report back to the school in September." Rodman, director of the city's education bureau, said.

"Director Rodman, I'm Adriros, a former employee of the Heshingen Power Company, I want to know if the dormitory can accommodate people now, I would like to live in the dormitory first?"

"Hmmm! Mr. Adriros, why do you want to live in a dormitory? At present, the dormitory is not able to live in people, not that the living facilities are not complete, but now the dormitory is not popular except for the administrator, so if you are not very bold, I am afraid that a person in the dormitory will be afraid. ”

Hearing Rodman's description, Adrilos shuddered, space is indeed easy to cause discomfort.

So he hurriedly explained: "I mainly don't want to run back and forth, the house you assigned me, I remember that it is some distance from the school, so I thought about whether I could live directly in the dormitory, which can save a lot of time." ”

Director Rodman suddenly said: "It turns out that this is the reason, but Mr. Adriros, don't worry, as a teacher, you can naturally apply for a staff dormitory in the school, you can reflect this problem with the school after the start of school, anyway, there is still a period of time before the start of school, you can take care of the new house in the city first, but Mr. Adriros, out of curiosity, I still want to ask, didn't you bring your family this time?" ”

Adriloth: "You guessed right, I really didn't bring my family to East Africa, after all, it hasn't stabilized for the time being, so naturally I won't let my family come too, which is one of the reasons why I want to live in the dormitory." ”

Rodman didn't ask any more questions when he heard this, he knew that Adrirose was not young, and he worked at the Heixingen Power Company, so he must also be a person with a small family, and it was estimated that he would have started a family in Europe as early as possible, and if he brought his family to East Africa, he would not want to go to the dormitory.

"Adriloth, I really envy you, if only I could live in a dormitory!" A colleague said to Adriros.

"Well, Mr. Kafei, did you come to East Africa alone?"

"That's not true, I came with my wife, but I'm not afraid of your jokes, my wife is actually afraid that I'm fooling around alone in East Africa, so you must come with me, look at me, alas, you should know what kind of life I usually live from this incident."

Rodman and the others laughed very unkindly when they heard this gentleman's words, and Rodman comforted: "This shows that your wife cares about you, after all, outsiders don't know much about the specific situation in East Africa, and our East Africa is not so chaotic." ”

"Hehe, thank you Director Rodman for your explanation, but you don't know my wife, her desire to control is too strong, I regret it very much now, I was too simple before, and I was deceived by her!"

Everyone didn't speak this time, after all, it involves private life, and everyone is just a preliminary acquaintance, so they can't really think that his wife is a calculating person just by listening to him, as for being deceived, how can this be said! It's not easy to judge, but they are all married, so naturally there is no question of whether to cheat or not.

"Hehe, this gentleman, don't be too depressed, today is your first time in Mbeya City, so we have prepared a feast for you in the hotel, starting at seven o'clock in the evening, you can bring your family, as for the location of the hotel, you can just inquire about it, because there is only one hotel in Mbeya City, just west of the city government."

"Ah, there's only one hotel in the entire city of Mbeya? So what if someone comes to Mbeya just to stay in the city? Can you get busy? ”

"You don't know this, ordinary people in East Africa generally go on business trips and the like to stay at the post station, which is equivalent to a hotel, which used to be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Posts, but now it is independent and dedicated to temporary residence."

Rodman's words puzzled everyone, but it was normal for them to be new to East Africa and not very familiar with East Africa, and the group of people first disembarked in the city of Dar es Salaam, and the city of Dar es Salaam was almost indistinguishable from European cities on the surface, and the lights were quite prosperous, but the city of Mbeya, which was deep inland, was very different.

"There is only one hotel in Mbeya, and there are only a limited number of other entertainment venues, but there are many taverns and restaurants."

"What about casinos and brothels?"

"Not a single one."

"Ahh Are you all saints in East Africa? ”

"Hehe, I'm talking about the regular, I don't know if it's informal, but I'm afraid it's not easy to find the informal one, after all, it's very risky."

"Life in East Africa is too boring!"

"That's not true, although there are no pornography, gambling and drugs, but there are also a lot of other entertainment projects in East Africa, such as football events, horse clubs, vacations on Lake Malawi and so on."

"Soccer match?"

"East Africa attaches great importance to sports, the most popular of which is football, there is a football stadium on the outskirts of Mbeya that can accommodate more than 20,000 people, and the population of Mbeya is only about 160,000, you should know how popular football is, and there are more than a dozen large and small stadiums in Mbeya, and there are more than 20 registered professional teams, and there are even more amateurs."

"And what is the Jockey Club?"

"The Jockey Club is a relatively large gathering, which starts in December every year and lasts for half a month, mainly for horse racing, polo, and shopping consumption."

"Lake Malawi is that big lake on the map of East Africa?"

"Yes, I am afraid that Europe will not find a freshwater lake larger than Lake Malawi, the city of Mbeya is on the north shore of Lake Malawi, so going to Lake Malawi for vacation tourism is the most enjoyable activity for Mbeya people, where the whole family can camp in the open, fishing, taste the most famous fish soup in Lake Malawi, as well as barbecue, the most distinctive is boating and swimming, because Lake Malawi is large, and the coastal scenery is almost different from the sea, so many Mbeya citizens like to go there for vacation."

"Sounds pretty good."

"Of course, if you have lived in Mbeya for a long time, then you can really fall in love with this city, and it is most appropriate to describe Mbeya with four seasons and picturesque scenery, I dare to say that the vast majority of cities in the world are not necessarily more livable than Mbeya, and Mbeya is most proud of its very low crime rate, East Africa attaches great importance to public security, and the quality of residents is relatively high."
