After a good sleep, the plane that Zhang Tiegen and others took landed smoothly at Cebu Mactan International Airport in Cebu, and they walked out of the airport.
Cebu is the first city in the Philippines developed by Spanish colonists. It is the oldest commercial, economic and transportation center in the Philippines and is known as the Queen City of the South of the Philippines.
Under such developed economic conditions, coupled with extremely convenient sea, land and air transportation conditions, especially Cebu is a superior natural harbor, it has become a mixed area.
You know, in the past 20 to 30 years, the Philippines has developed into a drug trading center in Southeast Asia after the Golden Triangle was secretly dispatched by China to eliminate drugs. Cebu is an excellent area for transporting and manufacturing drugs.
However, in recent years, with Duterte's vigorous pursuit of drug dealers, and the fact that we have a once treasure island in China that is now a ghost island, the people have become more and more lazy and less eager to make progress, which has made drug production more difficult.
In terms of drug trafficking, it has surpassed the Philippines and become the largest drug distribution center in Asia. It has also helped the Philippines regain its reputation.
However, there is one thing here that Ghost Island can never compare with. That is the issue of guns. The Philippines should be the largest production base of imitation firearms in the world. Don’t think that only the Chinese copycats are invincible in the world. The Filipinos’ copycats
The ability of firearms can surpass the Chinese by several blocks.
Therefore, in a country where drugs and guns are rampant, such trivial matters as murders, vendettas, and the underground economy, such as the flourishing casino and sex industry, are not news at all.
The Philippines is definitely a paradise for adventurers and criminals, but a hell for ordinary people.
Now, Zhang Tiegen has finally set foot on this land, and is about to see a world that is completely different from China.
Following that, Zhang Tiegen and others were riding outside the airport in a tattered, second-hand car that was obviously purchased from Fuso. Not knowing whether it was safe or not, they got on the road and drove to the hotel they had booked.
In fact, the Fuso people are really shameless in what they do. They do not destroy and recycle old cars that are about to be scrapped in their own country. Instead, they repair them and re-export them to poor countries in Asia and Africa.
It has caused a lot of casualties in traffic accidents.
After successfully checking into the hotel, Yang Shunliang ran over and asked Zhang Tiegen very urgently: "Brother Dagen, where is the Mr. Lin you are looking for?"
"Don't be anxious. Don't you feel tired after taking such a long flight? Let's take a good rest first, and then in the evening we will go out to do some activities and find people." Zhang Tiegen said with a smile.
"Do we have to go out at night?" Yang Shunliang asked.
"That's right! You have to know that in this kind of chaotic city, it's more fun only at night. At that time, all kinds of ghosts and monsters, and all kinds of special industries will start to operate.
"Yes." Zhang Tiegen smiled mysteriously.
As soon as he mentioned the special industry, Yang Shunliang's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
A playboy like Yang Shunliang has never played anything since he was a child, so he has rich experience! Naturally, he understands the deeper meaning of Zhang Tiegen's words.
"What an envoy, what an envoy! Good!" Yang Shunliang immediately said with a very vulgar smile.
"Then go back and have a good rest. After recuperating your energy, my brother will take you out for some good activities in the evening!" Zhang Tiegen said with a smile.
"Okay. Then I'll be waiting!" Yang Shunliang smiled, and then he happily ran back to the room where he lived.
open
Tie Gen then smiled at Xie Sha and said, "Xie Sha, let's sleep too?"
"Fuck! Let me make it clear, we each sleep in our own place!" Xie Sha curled his lips and said.
Zhang Tiegen shrugged. Of course, everyone is sleeping separately. Do I still want to sleep with a grown man like you? You are thinking too much, okay?
He hurriedly ran to the bathroom and took a shower first. Then Zhang Tiegen ran to his room and took a deep sleep. The damn weather in the Philippines was much hotter than that in China, and the air was so stifling!
It seems that if you go out during the day tomorrow, you must put on sunscreen. Otherwise, after a day of activities, your skin will definitely peel off at night.
While Zhang Tiegen was thinking this, he quickly fell asleep, and soon thunderous snoring sounded from the room.
After nightfall that day, Zhang Tiegen took everyone out. Their clothes all changed: they were all wearing cropped trousers, short-sleeved shirts, and various hats on their heads, making them look ordinary.
There is no difference for tourists.
Then, everyone walked around the street and found a roadside stall to sit down and eat local snacks together.
Anyway, this kind of stall is definitely not very hygienic, but the unclean it is, the better it tastes. Street stalls in Southeast Asian countries are basically like this.
Everyone walked around the street, stopped and walked, sat and ate, it was a great time and they all filled their stomachs.
Moreover, the prices here are actually quite low, and it doesn’t cost much to come all the way. But the weather is really too hot, and there is too much humidity coming from the sea, which makes most people feel uncomfortable.
When everyone walked out of the street, some were already sweating a lot, while others felt sticky, and they all shouted to go back to the hotel to take a shower.
However, Zhang Tiegen eventually took everyone to another place, because they had to get down to business and find the whereabouts of Lin Yingle.
Xie Sha and others found a few shabby taxis. The Fuso people are really not interesting. You can even export second-hand cars that are about to be scrapped without caring about the lives of foreigners. Why can't you also put the inside of the car in?
Has the air conditioner been repaired?
Anyway, Zhang Tiegen and others were sulking in the taxi together, wiping sweat and cursing.
"Friend, don't scold me. All the taxis here are like this, without air-conditioning. We locals have long been accustomed to such sultry weather. This is what Cebu will be like this season. In two months
That's it!" The driver, who must be a Chinese, turned to Yang Shunliang and persuaded him in somewhat broken Chinese.
The status of the Chinese in the Philippines is pretty good now, but a few decades ago, their status was very low, and they were excluded and oppressed.
In addition, many Chinese immigrants at that time were relatively poor and did not value education. As a result, many second-generation Chinese completely accepted local education and believed in Christianity. They were quickly assimilated and basically could not speak Chinese. In the case of Indonesia,
It should be a country where Chinese have the lowest status and are the most excluded.
In this regard, the Chinese in the Philippines are very similar to the Chinese in Thailand. On the contrary, it is the Chinese in Malaysia, a Muslim country, who are best able to maintain Chinese education and traditions. As for Singapore, they do not recognize it as a Chinese country at all and have always been honored to speak English.
Just say it.
Therefore, it is quite difficult for this taxi driver to be able to speak broken Chinese.
