In London, apart from luxury shopping and high rents, perhaps the most impressive thing about London for the people who have lived there is the expense.

Transportation is expensive.

As the hub of the UK, London's transportation is very developed. In the city center, it is generally no more than 400 meters away. There will definitely be a subway or bus station. However, while it is extremely convenient, it also has a very significant feature.

In one word, expensive.

The most representative subway in London has very complicated charging methods and ticket types, including annual passes, monthly passes, daily passes, single passes, peak tickets, off-peak tickets, etc.

Ah, but they all have the same thing in common,

Expensive...just expensive (sweat)...

If you need to take the subway to London one day, please be sure to understand the various rules in detail to avoid high expenses. Prepare some tourist Oyster cards in advance, and buy discount cards such as seven-day travel tickets...

"But even with a card, it costs nearly 3 pounds. During peak periods, some still charge the original price, and the London Underground is an antique and has no air conditioning. When you think about it, buses costing 1 pound or 2 pounds become cute~"

Looking at Tang Bing, who had a silly and sweet smile in front of him as if he had seen heaven, and who was probably unconscious from heartache, Fang Wandering Ran, who had no need for transportation and basically relied on walking for rent, swallowed slightly after thinking about the expense. The corners of Shui Shui's mouth twitched,

I feel slightly ashamed thinking about the subway that has no air conditioning and is so expensive, as expected of rich people living in London in developed countries...

However, what Fangran doesn’t know is that even the locals in London have a negative opinion of the transportation fares in their own city.

It also hurts so much that I can't breathe.

There are even news that rich people with high annual salaries are evading fares...

So you must not think that the prices are the same as in supermarkets. They have high incomes so they can afford the price. London, the second most expensive city in Europe for transportation, can easily spend thousands of pounds on transportation a year. Is this a waste of fame?

What? You mean London taxis?

Ha, for the sake of your heart, I suggest you not to know...

"Such a high cost..."

As an ordinary family with little money, I roughly calculated the expenses of studying abroad, knowing that this must not be all the problems that I will encounter in life. Fang Ran, who had great empathy for Tang Bing, looked at her and sighed silently:

"Senior sister, it's not easy for you to be an exchange student..."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy to achieve my goal. All I can do is study hard and save some money for my family. Anything related to human services in London is extremely expensive, just like the spa I just mentioned. Senior, do you know how much the sauna ticket costs in pounds..."

Tang Bing rolled her eyes speechlessly, and then as if she finally found someone to complain to, even though she was sunny and cheerful, she couldn't help but puff up one cheek and complain to Fangran:

"It's difficult for a girl to study abroad alone. She has to work hard and pay attention to safety. After all, foreign security is not as good as ours in China. Even in London, not every district is as safe as the city center."

Speaking of this, Tang Bing rolled his eyes speechlessly and complained:

"Senior, did you know that when you first came here, you should never go to places like Brixton at night if you went to get advice from your seniors?"

"Even if you go, you have to jog all the way where there is light. There is even an unspoken rule of twenty pounds to make the price acceptable to both parties. I was really scared when I heard..."

"etc!!!"

A loud shout interrupted Tang Bing's thoughts. She was startled and opened her eyes wide. She looked at Fangran blankly as if she noticed something about Hua Dian's tough style.

"Senior sister, what did you just say?"

"I was so scared to death when I heard it."

"No, the previous sentence."

"Twenty pounds is a price acceptable to both parties..."

"That's not the sentence."

"Even if you go, you have to go all the way where there is light..."

"One sentence above."

"Never go to Brixton at night..."

Fang Ran: "..."

emmm....

Hamster... No, Fangran's brain thought quickly.

Then Tang Bing, who was stunned by his question, saw Fang Ran suddenly look at him with a honeyed smile, and the topic turned 180°.

"School girl, how much does the massage ticket for that spa you mentioned before cost in pounds..."

That night,

Brixton.

As a multi-ethnic mixed community in South London, a large part of the population here is of black descent from the Caribbean. The apartments are low-cost, multi-cultural collisions, and the atmosphere is full of vigor and vitality.

The crime rate is quite high, the streets are dirty and messy, and there are many homeless people living around the station. You can often see conflicts among people.

Next to a dimly lit remote street, near a bar where rough drunkards toasted, a figure walked slowly and slowly in a dark place,

It quickly attracted the attention of two men.

Almost tacitly, they glanced at each other and showed an ugly smile. The two of them followed quickly, preparing to make another extra buck tonight. They grabbed each other's shoulders with ill intentions.

He chuckled and lowered his voice and went straight to the topic.

"Hey! Boy! Stop! Hand over the money!"

Then the next second when the other party slowly turned around, he suddenly vaguely saw the dark alley behind him, with unconscious men piled up like garbage...

Under the hood was a strange smile in the dark, speaking a language they didn't understand.

"The fourth one is finally no longer a homeless man."

...

...

The next day, the sun was shining brightly.

"Senior, is it my misunderstanding..."

In the supermarket goods area, Tang Bing looked confused as he watched Fang Ran easily holding three large boxes and placing them on top:

"I always feel like you are in an inexplicably good mood after changing your clothes today...?"

He casually put three boxes of unknown products into the cargo area, and helped Tang Bing unload the cart. Fangran put on a new pair of jeans, a shirt and a jacket, and felt that the background was all covered in flowers.

Qingshuang looked at Tang Bing and replied with a smile:

"Ah? No, it's just your imagination, my junior schoolmate."

Tang Bing stared at him silently with the corner of his mouth twitching fiercely.

Senior, you are grinning almost to your ears, who are you trying to fool?

"Okay, the move is done, let's go back~"

Fang Ran clapped his hands and happily walked towards the checkout counter with a honeyed face. Tang Bing, who was following him, no longer knew what kind of medicine he, a strange senior, had taken today.

However, in fact, following Tang Bing's 'guidance' and 'inspiration', it took him several hours to finally find Fangran in Brixton. He looked at the streets around him with drunken people from time to time, many places.

A dimly lit messy place,

It's full of the smell of getting rich.

Then Fangran suddenly realized something from Tang Bing's words!

If he wants to obtain financial resources from those habitual criminals who are not good people, he actually doesn't have to resort to chivalry on the roof and the wall. He can completely...

Fishing law enforcement.

Then after one night, the "Chocolate Box Masked Man" suddenly realized that compared to drinking the northwest wind on the wall and roof, the efficiency of fishing law enforcement was simply sky-high.

Even if there are some homeless people who are broke, the final 'money drop' is equivalent to nearly thirty hours of working in a supermarket...

emmm(quick thinking)....

Farewell, my immature chivalrous heart (sending off with tears and smiles).

"Senior sister..."

"what?"

"Massage and shopping are really good things, thank you."

"Eh - it's so disgusting. Senior, did you take the wrong medicine today?!"

Seeing Fang Ran say this with a sassy smile, Tang Bing suddenly felt a chill in his whole body. He wondered if he had listened to what he said yesterday and went to the bathhouse in South London to find a great health care and then open the door to the new century.

went.

Although it's not far from the truth...

During the day today, I finally found a high-end bath and massage center that Tang Bing told him about on his mobile phone yesterday. It was the first time in his life for Fangran to come to such a place alone. After a comfortable bath and massage from a mature foreign sister, Fangran

,

I was almost immersed in the pleasures of capitalism and couldn't extricate myself.

Whether it was the priceless tickets or the experience of buying whatever he wanted on Oxford Street, Fangran realized once again that

It’s great to have money (sigh from the bottom of my heart).
