059 Rio
After that pirate attack, the San Marino went safely and without any trouble. It only takes a little more than a day to sail at this speed to reach the dangerous corridor Drake Passage. Although it is much safer to pass through the Strait of Magellan, the draft of the cruise ship San Marino is a little deeper, and the water depth of the Strait of Magellan cannot meet the needs of the San Marino. Drake Strait is located between the southern tip of South America and the South Shetland Islands, with a total length of about 300 kilometers, a width of about 900 kilometers, an average water depth of 3,400 meters, and a maximum depth of more than 5,200 meters. The Drake Passage is the widest strait in the world, and the deepest strait in the world. Even if two Huashan Mountains and one Hengshan Mountain are stacked in the strait, even the top of the mountain will not be exposed to the sea. The surface water is rich in phosphates, nitrates, and silicates, increasing from north to south. It is one of the most nutritious and biologically rich areas in the world. In fact, the first time to cross this strait was a Flemish expedition led by Scotton in 1615. And the British navigator Drake only reached Tierra del Fuego through the Strait of Magellan. The water in the Gorge flows from the Pacific Ocean into the Atlantic Ocean and is a component of the world's largest Antarctic circulation. The surface water temperature varies significantly from 6 degrees Celsius in the north to minus 1 degree Celsius in the south, especially at 60 degrees south latitude, and is known as the Antarctic Interchange Zone or Polar Front, which is bounded by subpolar surface water and colder Antarctic surface water. The Drake Passage is an important passage from around the world to Antarctica. Due to the influence of polar cyclones, the strait often has strong winds and waves, sometimes up to one or twenty meters high. Icebergs that slide down from the Antarctic are also often floating in the strait, making navigation difficult. Before the opening of the Panama Canal, the Drake Strait played an important role in trade in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. With the advent of giant oil tankers and the increasing congestion of the Panama Canal, the Drake Passage is likely to become an important shipping lane again. After the opening of the Panama Canal, the role of the Drake Strait shipping channel gradually declined. However, as the relationship between the Antarctic continent and the future survival and development of mankind is becoming more and more important, countries around the world are paying more and more attention to Antarctica, and they have gone to Antarctica to conduct scientific expeditions and expeditions. The Drake Passage, the closest sea route from South America to Antarctica, and the only route for many countries to go to Antarctica, has also been given new strategic significance. It is foreseeable that with the deepening of human scientific research and development of the Antarctic continent, the strategic position of the Drake Strait will be further enhanced. The difference in pressure between the two sides of the Drake Passage is 12 millibars, which facilitates the north-south exchange of cold and dry air from the Antarctic continent with the relatively warm and humid air currents of the American continent. The Drake Passage is known for its rough waves, and because the Pacific and Atlantic oceans meet here, and because of its high latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere, storms dominate the Drake Passage. The strait seems to be home to all the hurricane waves of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, with winds above level 8 every day of the year. Even the 10,000-ton giant ship was trembling like a leaf on the rough sea. This strait has been the subject of a stormy storm all year round, and has historically capsized countless ships here. As a result, Drake Passage is known as the "Murderous Westerly Belt", "Storm Corridor", and "Devil's Passage", which is a veritable "Death Corridor". Fortunately, it is summer in the southern hemisphere, and there is no ice floe on the sea. The San Marino cruise ship passed through the Drake Strait smoothly after more than a day of turbulence. The San Marino then sailed north along the western coastline of the South American continent to Rio, the destination of the trip.
When the San Marino is still far from the port of Rio, everyone can already see the huge statue of Jesus in Rio's most legendary and fascinating way. The statue of Jesus in Rio, known as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, towers over the top of the Crovado Hill. Brazil's president and a group of national executives made official state visits to Rio and Angela. Hu Bin is not interested in these national-level things, so he doesn't pay much attention to them. After the state visit, Angela will be able to stay in Rio for another day. After that, they will follow the San Marino to Baltimore. Rio is a very peculiar place. Because of Brazil's special history, it is full of strife and contradictions. However, under the long historical evolution, these contradictions have gradually become a part of life. That's what the people of Rio do: laid-back, laid-back, self-satisfied. Indeed, in a city as blessed as Rio, with good food, beautiful women, beautiful views, and the best at your fingertips, what more could you ask for? But if that's all there is to Rio as you understand it, you may be missing out on the most profound things about Rio. The Brazilian said, "It took God six days to create the world, and the seventh day to create Rio de Janeiro." "Rio, which has spent a whole day of God's time, is not a wooden beauty with an empty head on the outside, but beneath its infinite beauty, another complexity flows. The sidewalks of Rio Beach are paved with black and white stones, two of the most contrasting colors, and are placed together without any embellishments or transitions. This is the way Rio is, not welcoming the golden mean, only willing to accept the collision of two poles. Interestingly, the result of this collision is not that one side destroys or overwhelms the other, but that the two sides are stuck together, inseparable and inseparable. Rio is home to more than 10 million people, of different colours and ethnicities, who are constantly fighting over trivial matters every day, but there is never any religious or ethnic strife. Here, extreme poverty and excessive luxury sit side by side, slums are entrenched halfway up what should be the rich congregation, and penniless homeless people lie side by side on Copacabana Beach to share the waves, sun and sand. In Rio, you can find forests in the city, high-rise buildings in the countryside, people complain and demonstrate, but the samba dance in the streets never stops, and mayors come and go without changing the city. Rio is impossible to describe in one word, as its antonym can always be found here.
The state of Rio is known for its tourism, information and communication, finance, insurance and other service industries. The state of Rio de Janeiro is rich in tourism resources and many tourist attractions, among which the city of Rio de Janeiro is the most famous and the most famous landscape is the statue of Christ in Rio de Janeiro. The state of Rio and Brazil are proud of the 28 state's famous attractions and tourist attractions, half of which are located along the coast, with stunning bays, beaches and lush tropical islands, and the other half in the state's mountainous forests, which are both historical and national and state forest parks. And then there's the unique carnival and carnival. Known as the largest and most unrestrained carnival in the world, the largest festival in Brazil, the Brazilian Carnival is unrivaled in its ferventness for femininity, attracting millions of domestic and foreign tourists every year. Among the carnivals held throughout Brazil, the most prestigious is the Rio de Janeiro Carnival, which is the most famous and enchanting event in the world. Due to the reluctance of the Bahia people to market it, the carnival here has been able to maintain its authentic flavor and become the truest expression of Brazilian tradition and the spirit of the carnival. During the festival, the whole city poured out of the nest, and people, regardless of color and race, rich and poor, poured into the streets like a tide, men, women and children all wore heavy makeup, sang and danced wildly, and vented to their heart's content. The grand samba parade is the culmination of the carnival, with large floats surrounding the "king" and "queen" leading the way, and fire-breathing Latin girls dancing in bikinis or topless with male dancers. Colorful costumes, powerful music, hot samba dancing and beautiful Brazilian beauties make you want to linger. The street carnival kicks off on Friday, and the street carnival also attracts thousands of revelers, many dressed as clowns, TV personalities or animals, who parade through the streets and alleys. The carnival's nightly event is a club dance party that attracts Kali dancers and tourists. Another highlight of the carnival was the competition for the best costumes at several balls, where the troubadours of the Middle Ages and even the archbishops of the Roman Catholic Church were dressed in various costumes. The Rio de Janeiro Carnival is the most colorful. Undoubtedly, one of the highlights of the event was the massive samba school parade. Samba is the most African event in the carnival, and it blends European folk styles with African singing and dancing techniques. As for the samba parade, it is a new product of the twentieth century. Rio de Janeiro, despite its dense population, has not diminished the Latins in their desire for pleasure. The carnival is a testament to Rio's Dionysian culture, but there's more to Rio than meets the eye: beaches, art museums, and good food are just some of the reasons why tourists want to leave.
Angela and the others didn't get to see the annual carnival, but they watched the carnival every Friday. There was a small episode in between, when Hu Bin, Angela, and the guards were scattered by the crowd. Angela pulled Hu Bin and played around with it. Hu Bin didn't like this noisy environment, so he naturally didn't get involved. Angela actually kissed Hu Bin on the face when she was about to go back, which made Hu Bin a little stunned and helpless. After getting along for so long, Hu Bin naturally knows that Angela likes him, but not to mention that he has Qianqian, even if he is not engaged, he has no feelings for Angela. Angela's relationship is destined to be unacceptable. The next day, Angela and her party set out on the journey again, but Angela's trip around the world was almost over. Now only the last country, the United States, remains. The San Marino continues north along the coastline, heading towards its stated destination, Baltimore. Baltimore is an important harbor city on the Atlantic coast of the United States, it is located on the west side of the top of the Chesapeake Bay, only more than 60 kilometers away from the capital of the United States, Washington, D.C., and the port area is near the mouth of the Patapasco River. It is still 250 kilometers from here to the vast Atlantic Ocean through the bay, but because of the superior natural conditions near the port, the Chesapeake Bay is wide and the channel is very deep, the 10,000-ton ocean-going ships can sail directly into the Baltimore port area. The port belongs to the state of Maryland and has long been an important outlet for the Great Lakes region of the United States, the Central Basin, and the Atlantic Ocean. In 1827, the first railroad in the United States, the Baltimore-Ohio Railroad, was laid here, which became the gateway to the Midwest? From a long distance, you can see the tall loading and unloading bridges, rows of neat containers, piles of bulk, black coal, red iron sand, very impressive? And the United States is also worthy of being the most developed country, the previous countries, whether rich or poor, greeted Angela by special car, but the US government actually sent several military helicopters to fly directly to the White House with Angela and Hu Bin. The days in Washington were still so boring, but Angela still completed the ritual-like visit with a smile on her face.
