Six hundred and fortieth eight chapters on the road
In this way, the girl can panic. The other party can’t quite understand what she says. She can’t quite understand what the other party says. She has to explain over and over again why the whole family doesn’t bring any money, and they all put it in the bank.
She is alone. In fact, this problem is very normal in China. When going out, they like to leave their documents, money, etc. with the most reliable person. Everyone thinks it is more convenient, and she can do everything by herself.
People did it.
But foreigners don’t have this habit, and they can’t understand it. Even elementary school students in their first grade keep their passports and air tickets by themselves when they go out, and they also have change in their pockets. In this way, the customs official and this
The girls started arguing right there, each saying his own thing, but no one could convince the other.
Hong Tao is not afraid of waiting a little longer, but if this pace continues, this family will be in trouble. Talking back to the customs officials will not lead to good results no matter where you are. If you make them anxious, they will give you a lot of trouble and then have to punish you.
They confiscated your things, and finally ignored you. Although he was despised just now, Hong Tao felt that he, a big man, should be more open-minded and help when he should, so he stepped forward again.
This time, Hong Tao didn't talk nonsense with the girl. Instead, he went directly to the customs official and translated the girl's meaning to him. He then translated the customs official's meaning to the girl's family, especially the girl's father, without even threatening her.
After some reasoning, we finally managed to get the family to agree to cooperate with the customs inspection.
What happened next deceived Hong Tao. The family took out all the undeclared Australian dollars from different places on their bodies. The hiding method made Hong Tao and the customs official stunned. Then the customs official waved his hand and
Several people came up and invited the family and Hong Tao to the examination room because they suspected that Hong Tao and the family were in the same group.
Although there was nothing wrong with Hong Tao's side after inspection, the family was in trouble. Not only did they hide money and fail to declare it, they also brought a lot of vegetables and meat in their luggage. The most disgusting thing was that they actually stuffed vacuum-packed duck necks
When it comes to stuffed toys, this kind of behavior is not ignorant or unclear, it is deliberate!
According to the wishes of the customs officials, not only would these items be confiscated, but the family would also be fined heavily. Looking at the crying girl, Hong Tao felt soft again, and had to ask Paul to come forward and negotiate in a more formal way.
The people at the customs negotiated with them and explained the reasons why the family hid their belongings and money in order to gain their understanding.
It would be helpful to have a barrister by his side. Paul negotiated with the person in charge here for a long time, and finally convinced him that the family did not conceal it deliberately, but out of a habit and fear. In the end, they did not make any high-stakes transactions.
The fine was only a symbolic amount of 200 Australian dollars, and it was not specially noted in their passports.
Normally, Hong Tao had done his best when the matter came to this, but after working for a long time, the family paid the fine angrily, and when they left, they looked at Hong Tao with resentment, as if they were all punished because of Hong Tao. Hong Tao
I don’t really care what others think. Anyway, everyone
I didn't know anyone, so I just pretended to be a rescue kitten or puppy. But Paul was very confused about all this. He spent a long time trying, but in the end he didn't even say thank you, and he also suffered the hatred of others, although he didn't
I understand Chinese, but anyone can understand that look, it definitely doesn’t mean gratitude.
This was just a small accident when entering Australia. But when it comes to Australian customs, it should be the strictest customs in any country that Hong Tao has ever seen. Those customs officers inspect all food, biological products, plant products, and meat very carefully.
You are not allowed to bring any of them. Packaged foods such as instant noodles and mustard must also be declared, and even wood carvings are not allowed.
The reason why it is so strict is mainly because Australia is an island country. The same is true for New Zealand. It is said that New Zealand’s customs are more strict. Even the soles of your shoes must be inspected and any dirt that is too much must be cleaned. Their ecological environment here is very special, and
Very fragile. Once alien species invade, it will be an ecological disaster and difficult to save.
This point can be seen in the United States. After more than ten years of breeding, the Asian carp introduced to clean up rivers have completely wiped out the native fish in the United States, occupied many rivers in the United States, and begun to invade the Great Lakes. The Americans have so far
There is no good way to control them.
"Just use this? Hang it on the lure? Don't you need to modify it?" Paul took out a sponge block from a small bag, put it under his nose, smelled it, and made a drilling gesture.
"Fresh water and sea water are different. I think this should be better. You try it first. If it doesn't work, just call me. I'll come back early and we can find a way." Hong Tao is not afraid of Paul taking these things.
assay.
"Well, I hope you have fun." Paul sniffed the sponge again and closed the door full of doubts.
"Sleep! Don't call me for dinner. I can't even open my eyes." After seeing Paul off, Hong Tao didn't even take a shower, so he just lay on the big bed and couldn't get up.
Early the next morning, Hong Tao woke up because he was hungry. Irene was really obedient and did not ask Hong Tao to eat dinner. This resort does not include breakfast because each suite has a kitchen. You can eat whatever you want.
You can cook it yourself, but in order to take care of people who can't cook, there is a restaurant on the second floor.
"It seems to be more expensive here than in New York. A bottle of water costs 3 Australian dollars! Isn't this a steal?" A breakfast for three people actually cost Hong Tao more than 40 Australian dollars, which surprised Hong Tao. This level of tipping is not enough.
On to the Nordic countries.
"Brother-in-law, can we take Carl to play with us? You and Irene are in pairs, and I am very lonely!" Katie knew that her trip to Australia was about to start today, so she suddenly asked Hong Tao in a low voice
A question.
"Karl? Why did you two get together again? What time did you come back from playing yesterday?" If Katie hadn't mentioned Karl, Hong Tao would have forgotten that they went surfing yesterday.
"Carl, I don't know, Katie didn't come back until 1 o'clock in the middle of the night! She even drank!" Erin answered directly for Katie.
"I'm not a child anymore!" Katie was still rolling her eyes trying to make up lies, but now it was easier.
"Carl definitely can't go with us. Paul should still have work for him to do..." Hong Tao looked at Katie's look and knew that there must be something going on between her and Carl. As for whether they were boyfriend and girlfriend, Hong Tao felt
It won't arrive that quickly, but I should have some ideas.
"..." As soon as Katie heard Hong Tao's answer, the smile on her face disappeared immediately.
"Why don't you stay here and help Paul work with Carl, and Irene and I can go play by ourselves?" Hong Tao planned to give Katie a try.
"...Then I'd better go with you. Carl said that his uncle is a devil and often makes him do things he doesn't like." Katie only thought about it for a few seconds before abandoning Carl.
Hong Tao and Irene had consulted a lot of information before arriving and basically made a rough Australian travel plan. The starting point of this plan was Sydney. From here, they drove all the way south into Victoria and headed to Australia's second largest city, Melbourne.
Then fly directly from Melbourne to Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, and then fly directly from here to Brisbane on the east coast. Rent a car from there and drive all the way back to Sydney.
This plan actually only covers the southeastern part of Australia in a circle, not even a tenth of Australia. However, if you look at the map of Australia, you can see that whether it is a big city or a small city, there are generally
It is concentrated in the southeastern and eastern coastal areas of Australia, with a small area in Perth in the southwest, and then the whole of Australia is basically bare, with nothing left.
In fact, this is not only the case on the map, but also in reality. Although Australia is a vast country, most of the country is not suitable for human survival. Its western and central regions are all hot and dry desert Gobi.
The eastern region is a plateau, and only near the coastline are there some plains and hilly areas where people can live.
So Australia looks big, but there are not many places to play. However, the Gobi Desert is now worth a lot of money. If the countries in the Middle East claim to be built on oil fields, then with the mineral resources in central and western Australia
It is so rich that it can be said that Australia was built on ore piles.
After breakfast, Hong Tao drove the two sisters on the journey, heading straight to Melbourne along the M31. Only after the car left the city did Hong Tao truly feel the unique scenery of Australia.
When Hong Tao and Irene were planning their trip to Australia, they borrowed a lot of advice from senior rangers on the Internet, including European and American rangers as well as domestic rangers. Among them, the most common saying was: Play online but don’t play local, go home.
Don’t play in the city.
According to the experience of those rangers, Australia is vast and sparsely populated, with 80% of the population living in 7 or 8 large cities. However, compared with large cities such as New York, Paris, and London, Australia’s large cities are inferior in all aspects.
I can’t rank them, but there are only a few good ones.
It can only be used at the beach. Therefore, those rangers gave a pertinent suggestion based on their own health, that is, you must rent a car and drive yourself when going to Australia. Don’t drive around in the city. Drive along the highway between cities.
You can see scenery that is different from other places.
