Three hundred and seventy-two chapters three needles!
"I said, fat man, can you make some money for us Chinese people? Didn't they tell you before coming here that it's best to get vaccinated when entering Africa? Do you know what prevention is? It's just like buying insurance. You usually use it.
No, by the time you use it, you will be almost done." Although Boss Liu was a little worried in his heart, he still had to pretend to be upright and awe-inspiring.
"I'm just afraid that I might need it!" The fat boss was still not at ease. He didn't even dare to touch anything in the house when he was walking. When he opened the door, he used the soles of his shoes as his hands, just like everything here.
There are countless germs lying on everything.
A middle-aged black man named Hassan came to pick him up. Hong Tao originally thought he was a local, but after asking, he found out that he was a Frenchman and the person in charge of Neisen Company in Tanzania. Hong Tao and the others
All the itinerary of this trip depends on him to make detailed arrangements.
Hong Tao and the others were arranged in a five-star hotel called hyattregency, which translated into Chinese is Hyatt Hotel. Even though most of the streets and buildings in Dar es Salaam are low-rise and old houses, but in the area near the coast
This area is still well developed, with several high-end hotels and many facilities similar to our resort. Moreover, the restaurants and supermarkets on the street are very clean and tidy.
The facilities in the hotel are very good and comfortable. Some of the layout and decoration are even better than five-star hotels in big cities in China. There is no special difference in other places. The only difference is that most of the waiters here are local
Hong Tao is a black man. From the moment he entered the hotel to the guest room, he only saw two white employees. They both stood at the front desk, one man and one woman, but they were both very old.
After Hassan put Hong Tao and his party in the hotel, he drove away. Before leaving, he told Hong Tao that if he wanted to leave the hotel, he had better not go too far, especially not to leave the hotel where the hotel is without the guidance of local people.
According to him, this area is considered a tourist area, specializing in receiving vacation tourists from Europe and other places. Therefore, it is not only relatively advanced in terms of architecture and facilities, but also relatively good in terms of public security.
After here, he can't guarantee many things.
Since Naisen Company has hunting guide business in many places in Africa, their hunting guides are not just here, but are located in many countries in Africa. Therefore, Hong Tao and his party need to stop in Dar es Salaam.
One or two days to wait for the one-to-one hunting guides provided by Naisen Company to come from all over Africa to meet up.
Hassan was also afraid that Hong Tao and the others would be bored staying in the hotel, so he gave them an idea, which was to take a boat from the pier here to a small island in the sea. According to Hassan, the island is called
Zanzibar is an Arabic name with a very straightforward meaning: the Black Coast. Hassan said that it is a very, very beautiful island and it is very, very worth visiting.
Since Hassan used two very special words to emphasize the beauty of the island, Hong Tao could not ignore his suggestion. Besides, it would be meaningless to just stay in the hotel and go out on the street alone.
Let's go for a walk, but it seems a bit unsafe, so after discussion with Boss Liu and Boss Fat, Hong Tao decided to go to this small island first.
There is an old Chinese saying that goes before troops and horses are moved, food and grass go first! Hong Tao thinks it should be slightly changed and called: Before soldiers and horses are moved, information goes first. In this unfamiliar country where the eyes are dark, no matter where he goes, Hong Tao feels that he must
Find someone to ask carefully before setting off.
The three of us are new here, and the person accompanying Naisen Company is a clerical worker in the office. The purpose of following Hong Tao and the others here is not to provide any services to Hong Tao and the others, but to supervise the local reception on behalf of Naisen Company.
Whether the personnel acted in accordance with the contract, to put it bluntly, he was an informant or supervisor of the head office. He also knew nothing about the island.
But this couldn't help Hong Tao. He had noticed when he settled in this hotel that although most of the employees here were black, they basically knew some English. At least the black service staff Hong Tao saw could speak English.
, as long as he can communicate, Hong Tao will have a way to get the information he wants.
So Hong Tao pretended to run to the coffee shop on the second floor. After seeing that there were almost no customers, he sat down and ordered a cup of coffee. When a black young man brought the coffee to his table, he looked at the black man.
The young man put two 10-dollar bills in the tray. Then nothing happened. The black young man immediately bent down and smiled so much that his gums were almost exposed. He answered all of Hong Tao's questions.
gave what he thought was the most accurate answer.
According to the introduction of this black guy, Zanzibar is actually the collective name of two islands. The larger one in the south is called Unguja Island, and the smaller one in the north is called Pemba Island. This was an independent country before the 1970s.
, a member of the Sultanate of Oman, which was later incorporated into the United Republic of Tanzania.
I would like to add one more thing here. In the name Tanzania, the word Tanzania means the land located on the African continent, and the word San means Zanzibar Island. It seems that whether this island is very, very
Beautiful, at least it should be considered very, very famous in the country of Tanzania, otherwise it would be impossible to deliberately include the word "mulberry" in the name of the country.
The most famous thing on these two islands is cloves, yes, the kind of cloves that are used as spices, so Zanzibar Island also has another name, called Lilac Island. In addition, according to this black man in the cafe
The young man introduced that there is also a stone city on the island, which was built during the previous Sultanate Dynasty.
This black guy's English had a strong and unique flavor, and Hong Tao couldn't tell what it was. Anyway, he spent a long time trying hard, and his ears were almost stunned into donkey ears. Generally speaking, he could only understand so much. Oh.
, No, he also understood one thing, that is, the black guy said that there is a ferry called "Kilimanjaro" at the pier. It is the most comfortable ferry from the mainland to Zanzibar Island. First-class cabin costs 30 per person.
Dollar.
The Hyatt Regency Hotel where Hong Tao and the others stayed is very close to the ferry terminal. You can almost see it from the balcony. According to the information Hong Tao received, starting from 7 o'clock every morning, there is a ferry to Sanzi every two hours.
Bal Island, but it’s almost lunch time now, and the sailing time will take more than an hour. Instead of rushing there, why not take a rest today and find a suitable restaurant to have something to eat early tomorrow morning?
Set off again.
As for the restaurant issue, the black guy also gave Hong Tao a general direction. It is said that there is a Chinese restaurant on the street not far from the Hyatt Regency Hotel. As for the taste, the black guy is not sure. Chinese food is here
It is considered a high consumption, and people with his income level generally would not get involved in it.
The name of this Chinese restaurant was actually "West Lake". Hong Tao curiously asked a middle-aged Asian woman in charge of the front desk. As expected, the owner of this restaurant is a Hangzhou native, and most of the employees here are
He brought them from his hometown. The middle-aged woman standing at the front desk is the boss's sister-in-law.
Hong Tao and the sister-in-law were very happy to meet a fellow villager in this place where everyone could see black and white skin. Unlike in Canada or the United States, many big cities have Chinese settlements, and there are no Chinese immigrants or students studying abroad.
This is the main location, so there are very few Chinese here. Let alone Chinese, except for people of Indian descent, there are really not many Asian people here.
Although this lady from Hangzhou is from the south, she has a very cheerful temperament. When she met Boss Liu and Fatty Boss, who were even more cheerful, they quickly became familiar with each other. She simply stopped standing at the front desk to greet guests and found a little girl.
He took her place, then ran into the kitchen and walked around. After coming out, he sat at a table with Hong Tao and the others and started chatting.
Since he was so lucky to meet someone who could communicate easily and had lived there for several years, Hong Tao was not going to waste the opportunity for consultation. He asked almost all the questions he could think of, from Zanzibar Island to private hunting grounds.
