Australia is a land that has existed through the ages, and I believe the Chinese are familiar with it. It basically followed the same path as North America: it was discovered, and then the British came, and then started killing the indigenous people, and then it became under the rule of the Queen. The only difference is
, the early immigrants who came here, whether from England or Scotland, were more responsible and had no second thoughts, and always supported the British Empire. Unlike Eileen and her ancestors, who were more independent and had just found a new place.
After a few days of eating, he broke with the motherland.
So until now, nominally speaking, Australia's supreme leader is still the Queen of England.
PS: The Scots are also weasels and little mice. One litter is worse than the next. Look at how William Wallace dared to gather a crowd to rebel back then. He couldn't handle a referendum at first. After much tossing and tossing, he still couldn't break away from the United Kingdom. Alas...
.How can we, those of us who love to watch other people’s fun, live?
When talking about Sydney, the first thing that comes to mind is the Sydney Opera House, which looks like several large upright white shells from the sky. Yes, for people like Hong Tao who have never set foot on Australian soil, Sydney is the
Opera House, if I ask him to name one more feature of this place, he won't be able to name it.
Sydney should be the largest city and port in Australia, and it is also the capital of New South Wales. When you hear the name, it has a strong flavor of the British Isles. Australia has a total of 6 states and 2 territories, except for the Capital Territory.
Every state or territory is stupid.
Like the United States, the largest city is not necessarily the capital. The capital of Australia is Canberra, which can’t be found on the map without zooming in. It is said that the capital was also the product of a compromise, because at the time the largest city was Sydney and the second largest city was Canberra.
Everyone wants to be the capital of Melbourne, but they are vying for it and no one should be the capital. Let’s find a new city to be the capital, but place it between Sydney and Melbourne.
The most ridiculous thing is that if you go to Du Niang and search for Canberra, the first thing Du Niang says is: the national political, economic and cultural center!
What a big man you are in the center! Canberra has a population of only a few hundred thousand. It is surrounded by national parks and is barely a political center. It has nothing to do with economy and culture. Can we be more professional? Can we find slogans like this model show?
Just install a capital city!
Since he was traveling with Paul, Hong Tao didn't have to worry about whether the hotel room was comfortable. For a big-time guy like Paul, he wouldn't stay in a cheap hotel even if you had to drag him to one.
In terms of life, face is the first thing. Money comes second. If you have face, someone will give you money. If you lose face, the money will be gone.
This hotel is simply a paradise for men! From the moment Hong Tao stood on the balcony of the hotel, his impression of Paul was involuntarily higher. Paul really understands men's hearts, especially married men!
The name of the hotel is very strange. It's called Lluka Resort Apartments. Resort Apartments is a resort, but even Paul doesn't know what Lluka means. It's probably not English, but an Australian Aboriginal word. No matter what it's called,
The name doesn't matter. The rooms here are not standard rooms or suites. They are apartment-style residences, but the services are the same as those of regular hotels. This is not the point. The point is that this apartment-style hotel is built on a narrow peninsula, with the west side
The harbor has the South Pacific to the east and is surrounded by palm trees. The scenery is very good.
In fact, the scenery is not the point. The point is that there is a large beach to the east, only 200 meters away from the hotel. There are many people sunbathing on the beach. Of course there are people sunbathing on the beach, but these sunbathing people are a little different. Even though
From 200 meters away, Hong Tao was convinced that many of these people were not wearing swimsuits!
Yes, this is the legendary nudist beach. Hong Tao specifically searched for it in Miami, but he couldn't find it and couldn't take the initiative to ask Irene, so he was always a little regretful. What he didn't expect was that he actually saw this thing in Sydney, and
Not only is it simple to see the name, but now you can see it if you want to, or if you don’t want to see it. As soon as you open the window or go to the balcony, in addition to the green trees, white gauze, and the sea, what you see is the white flowers.
The villain.
However, this hotel also has some disadvantages, that is, it is a little far from the city, and it takes more than half an hour to drive. In fact, it is not too far if you have a car. Paul rented two cars at the airport, one
One car is used by him and Carl, and the other one is used by Hong Tao and the others. Unfortunately, Australia is a damn Commonwealth country, and the traffic rules are right-hand drive, left-hand driving. For Hong Tao, who has decades of driving experience, left-hand drive and right-hand driving
For an experienced driver, it would be a bit difficult to try to correct this problem for a while.
Moreover, Australians seem to drive much more aggressively than Americans, and they rarely slow down when driving. For a driver like Hong Tao, who always leans to the right while driving, it is too dangerous for himself and others, so Hong Tao decided
, if you can go out without driving, don’t go out by car.
Due to the 23 hours of continuous flight, both Hong Tao and Paul were a little tired. Only Katie was still in a state of high excitement. As soon as she entered the room, she was busy taking a shower and changing clothes. It was said that she was going to the beach with Carl.
surf.
"Go by yourself, be careful, I have a telescope!" Hong Tao was determined not to go with Katie. First, he was a little tired and needed a rest; second, he didn't know how to surf at all; and third, he hadn't done it yet.
I was so mentally prepared that I didn't dare to go to that beach to open my eyes.
"You are a pervert! You still have no guts!" Katie knew what Hong Tao was talking about, so she kicked Hong Tao and ran away with a bag of clothes.
"It's better to be young. I'll wait for you here. Just come back before December 10th. We still have to go to Hobart to meet up with our teammates. Have your lures been modified? Can you let me try it first? Anyway
I have nothing to do if I stay here." Before the door could close, Paul's head came in again.
"No problem, wait a moment... Just hang this on the lure. As for whether to hang one or several, it's up to you to experiment." Hong Tao was very happy and took it out of his luggage.
Take out a small pillow, and then take out a small pillow
The bag was handed to Paul. This pillow contained 8 packs of processed sponge blocks, each pack containing 50 pieces. When entering the customs, the customs officer asked Hong Tao what this was. Hong Tao pointed to his neck and said that he had cervical spondylosis.
You can't sleep without bringing your own pillow.
While at the customs, Hong Tao also helped a family of tourists from China. There were a total of eight people in their family, some old and some young. I don’t know who had listened to the temptation and wanted to travel to Australia on their own. One of them was about 20 years old.
The girl is their backbone and the only person in their family who can speak English. She is the leader and tour guide of this small group.
When they were queuing up at the customs, Hong Tao was behind them. He heard some of their conversations with each other and felt that they would be in trouble at the customs. Because they wrote so weirdly on the customs entry form, 7 out of 8 people.
The whole article is filled with NO, except for the little girl’s father who declared 10,000 Australian dollars.
Although Hong Tao is not a professional in this field, he has traveled to many countries, and his own company is also engaged in this field. Every time a customer goes abroad, he has to talk to them about customs clearance matters. In addition, Irene
For such a lawyer wife, she still knows a lot about this aspect.
"Girl, you are likely to run into trouble at the customs. Rather than being checked out, it is better to go directly to the red channel. This way you have a good attitude and it will not be difficult for you to find out the problem." Hong Tao should be considered enthusiastic.
People, especially when they see that their compatriots are about to suffer, can't help but remind the girl aloud.
"Who are you! Why do you want me to walk through the red channel? Just take care of yourself. It's the most disgusting thing for someone like you to look down on your compatriots abroad!" The girl glanced at Hong Tao and then at Ai beside Hong Tao.
Sister Lin glanced at him and then pushed Hong Tao back rudely.
"Miss, my husband means well, how can you talk like this? You should apologize!" Irene heard clearly from the side. She had no problem with Hong Tao meddling in his own business, but when she saw that Hong Tao was embarrassed, she immediately became unhappy.
.
"Your husband!? Oh, it would be great to marry a foreign wife. Why don't you go through the red channel? Are you so kind? Apologize and dream!" When the girl saw Eileen coming forward to speak, she became even tougher and raised her voice.
grade.
"Okay, okay, forget that I didn't say it, forget that I didn't say it, just go ahead..." Hong Tao saw that the girl's family members were also coming over, and two aunts among them had already put their hands on their waists, and hurriedly
Pull Irene behind you to prevent them from saying anything more. Once they start arguing here, it will really be a fun for others to watch.
When the girl and her family saw Hong Tao retreating, they didn't step forward to say anything. Instead, they gathered together and muttered in their hometown dialect. Judging from their eyes and pointing gestures, they probably didn't say anything about Hong Tao.
Good words.
However, Hong Tao's premonition soon came true. When it was the family's turn to enter the customs, the customs officers immediately lost their composure after reading their entry forms. They asked the girl in distinctive Australian English why their family
There are 8 people in the family, 6 adults, but she is the only one with money, and the other 5 people don’t have any money with them? This is illogical!
The girl's English pronunciation is actually quite standard, and there are no big mistakes in her grammar. However, the English learned in domestic schools is the same as speaking classical Chinese to foreigners' ears, and few people will use it in daily life.
The United States and the United Kingdom may be able to use it, but in Australia it will be
It doesn’t quite work anymore. Rather than speaking English, people here might as well have created a language on their own. Don’t talk about her. Even native English speakers like Erin have problems communicating with Australians.
, many times you have to ask several times before you are sure what the other person is talking about.
