Chapter 128: Santa Monica Street
One of the biggest features of San Francisco's urban construction is that it uses natural hills and landforms to build, so many streets are not flat, there are many uphill and downhill slopes, and many roads have slopes of 50 degrees, and many slopes use the S-shaped method to build streets. Flower Street in San Francisco is an example of a narrow steep slope that has been built to allow traffic to pass. The street is steeped at 40 degrees, in an S-shape, with a total of 8 turns, planted with flowers along the road, and overlooking the bay, the view is excellent. It is said that when the Queen of England visited San Francisco, she praised it, which further increased the popularity of Flower Street. Now Flower Street is a must-see attraction for tourists, and even Americans from other states come here to drive around Flower Street.
The two of them strolled down this street, admiring the most beautiful scenery in San Francisco, and Sun Yongren smiled flatteringly: "I have been here once, I am very familiar here, I will never get lost, I can even be your guide here."
Ye Tianyun was skeptical, half of his words were true, and he nodded and said, "If you can't find your way back for a while, then you can book a ticket tomorrow." ”
Just now, Sun Yongren begged for a long time before he came out, the main reason was that Levi's phone was not answered, probably because he was off work. According to Ye Tianyun's meaning, he plans to come out for a walk tomorrow. But Sun Yongren couldn't wait, so he played more than a dozen guaranteed tickets before Ye Tianyun came out with him.
The two of them walked for a while, and saw a lot of Asian faces, as well as blacks, Latin American brown people, and of course, many white people, like clusters of colorful flowers and plants, permeating the surroundings. The whites were mostly in a hurry. Most of them were young people, roaming the streets, gathering crowds to sell cheap batteries, razors, toys, etc., to pedestrians, like the blind streamers on the streets of Guangzhou.
As he walked, Sun Yongren suddenly stopped, touched his head and said, "Let's go and ask for directions first, we won't be able to lose it." With that, he walked over to two Asians nearby.
Most of the Asians who walk the streets are elderly. Sun Yongren stepped forward to ask for directions, walked to the two old ladies, and was pleasantly surprised that they actually answered in Chinese, not only showing the way but also walking a few blocks together, chatting as they walked. It turned out that they were all old overseas Chinese who had lived here for decades, and they kept asking about the current situation in China, and they didn't say goodbye happily until they arrived at their destination.
Ye Tianyun finally understood what he meant by absolutely not getting lost, San Francisco Street is full of Asians, and Chinese are not a minority, they are very willing to chat with domestic tourists, by the way to inquire about new news, perhaps because of the same bloodline, these wandering Chinese are extremely warm and hospitable.
Finally, we arrived at Santa Monica Avenue that Sun Yongren said, which is a long pedestrian street, and the night view is very beautiful, most of them are restaurants and small bars, which looks very casual atmosphere, especially when there are many artists performing on the street, and there are many tourists watching, this feeling makes people feel very comfortable, maybe this is the unique charm of San Francisco.
Sun Yongren looked at the people around him and said, "The last time I came to San Francisco, I felt very sorry because I didn't come here, but now I finally got what I wanted." ”
Many tourists' bodies swayed gently to the tunes of these artists, and Sun Yongren also jumped there, but Ye Tianyun couldn't see that he was dancing anyway, he always felt like a monkey bouncing around.
Ye Tianyun was a little funny, the atmosphere here was very relaxed, and the mood was very comfortable, but he still couldn't do it if he was asked to dance along.
Sun Yongren instructed him: "Relax, it's not training now, your body is a little too nervous." ”
Ye Tianyun was extremely unaccustomed to this kind of seemingly coordinated action, due to training, his movements were all to better exert his own strength, so no matter how he jumped, it was different from the people around him, everyone's eyes were focused on him, and in this way, he also became a monkey.
Ye Tianyun followed everyone for a while and simply stopped, dancing was not what he was good at, he stepped forward to ask for the guitar, and then played a song "Hotel California" by the Eagle Band, and several musicians around him played him at the right time.
Sun Yongren wanted to laugh at him at first, but as the music sounded, his mouth opened wider and wider, like eating an ostrich egg, and it was completely dead, he didn't expect Ye Tianyun to have this craft at all.
Although Ye Tianyun can't dance, his guitar is very good, especially after a small success, the speed of his hands is very fast and natural and smooth, he can completely surface the finger movements used in the whole song in his mind, so the prelude of the Hotel California makes the play very perfect, and many people stop from the swing to listen to his song
Pure American pronunciation, a great guitar, after the song, many people cheered, even a few musicians appreciatively cocked their thumbs.
Sun Yongren's eyes widened and said: "SHIT!, I was actually shocked, you still have this means, if I learn this trick, I will be invincible, and it will definitely have a sensational effect, I didn't expect that there were masters around me, it was really disrespectful!"
Ye Tianyun and him walked out of the crowd before saying: "Actually, I wanted to learn piano before, but there were no such conditions at home, so my father gave me a guitar when he found out, and I played it when I rested." ”
Sun Yongren was a little deflated when he heard this: "I have a piano, a guitar, and a violin at home, I don't know how to do the same!" After speaking, he was a little curious: "Looking at your posture, it's not like it's the first time to perform, it's too natural."
Ye Tianyun nodded and said: "I like to walk around, sometimes I carry a guitar on my back, and when I am interested, I will find a place to play for a while, which can make my mood much better." ”
Sun Yongren nodded and looked up at the front and said, "The bar I want to go to is there, and it was introduced by a good friend of mine." ”
