Although Natasha kept looking for opportunities to talk to Xu Yun and Lin Ge along the way, they knew what her purpose was and ignored her completely.
In the end, Natasha had to give up her plan, which also made her have serious doubts about her own charm. In the past, she always thought that she was a very attractive woman, but after today, she realized that her charm was also
However, not all men in the world cannot resist her temptation.
When the plane finally landed, Lin Ge, who saw everything outside from the window, had to sigh: "It's different from what I imagined. I thought when talking about Colombia, all people can think of are drugs, smuggling, and kidnapping."
, and there are things like guerrillas..."
"What do you think the country of Colombia is like?" Xu Yun asked with a smile.
"It should be brown skin all over the street. The street won't be particularly wide, just like the scenes in some first-person shooter games I play. There should be gray houses on both sides of the street, and there should be garbage everywhere, and then there are
You can see soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms and carrying submachine guns everywhere."
However, the Colombia that Lin Ge sees now is not like that. It is a bustling modern city, with various international luxury chain hotels, and then there are high-end restaurants and bars everywhere...
"Now I even suspect that I have returned to Shenjiang." Lin Ge couldn't help but sigh.
"A big city in a country with a population of nearly 10 million will of course have all the elements that an international metropolis should have." Xu Yun smiled slightly: "The transportation here extends in all directions, the elevated and bus systems are complete, and the streets are busy with traffic.
There is an endless stream of people coming and going in the alleys, the colonial buildings are unique and elegant, and the high-rise buildings are very modern.”
Lin Ge nodded: "All of this is indeed something I never thought of before."
"There are everything from vendors who make a living by setting up street stalls to white-collar workers who value the quality of life. Not all Colombians are drug dealers." Xu Yun said with a slight smile.
After leaving the airport, a car arranged by Natasha came to pick them up.
What makes Lin Ge even more unbelievable is that the traffic jam in this city is very serious, very similar to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The traffic system is even similar to the traffic system in Yanjing. Every day from 6 am to 10 am and 3 pm
to 8 p.m., only cars with even numbers or odd number plates are allowed to pass, with odd and even numbers taking turns every day.
Because all the license plates they saw on the road at this time were even number plates.
Baldwin sat in the car without saying a word. He had never returned to his hometown in such a mood. It could be said that this place was completely his territory, but now he felt strange.
"It's really congested." Xu Yun looked out the car window and said to Baldwin: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, if it weren't for you drug dealers, maybe the economy here wouldn't have developed so rapidly. You really don't care about this place.
It’s 70% disaster and 30% merit.”
Baldwin just nodded lightly. He felt that their contribution even accounted for four points.
Lin Ge watched the bus flowing smoothly and complained: "I should have known I was a bus."
Colombia's bus system is very efficient and can remain unobstructed even during peak hours. The secret is that buses have dedicated bus lanes, just like many cities in China also have such dedicated bus lanes. In the middle of the road, you can only
Buses can go there, but private cars can't go there, so of course there won't be any traffic jams.
So taking a bus is often the fastest way to get from one end of the city to the other.
Moreover, this country’s motorcycle system is absolutely unique in the world, and is completely customized according to the national conditions of the country. When it first entered the 21st century, Colombia’s motorcycle homicides, robberies, and terrorist attacks could be said to be...
It's almost out of control.
At this time, the government rushed to the hospital and stipulated that all people riding motorcycles on the road were not allowed to wear helmets! Then the crime rate dropped quickly, but riding safety became a big problem. After all, motorcycles are
People are covered with iron, but if something happens, it will be their heads that fall.
But in the end, some smart people came up with a very good solution for this country. The helmets worn by motorcycle riders must be marked with the same license plate number as the motorcycle they are riding, and they must wear them when going out at night.
Vests with reflective strips must also have the same license plate number on the vest.
That's why Lin Ge saw that many motorcycle riders here wore helmets with license plates printed on them.
I thought it was funny at first, but later I understood it after hearing Xu Yun’s explanation. I had to say that this was a way to get the best of both worlds.
Of course, this country is still full of a sense of insecurity and crisis, because Xu Yun and Lin Ge encountered many times along the way the police randomly searched passing vehicles to check whether they contained bombs.
Fortunately, their car was not searched, otherwise they would have been really worried that Baldwin would talk nonsense.
This was probably the first time that Baldwin so desperately wanted the police to search his car.
It's a pity that the police didn't give him face and ignored his car even once. This is actually not difficult to understand. The car that picked up Baldwin was a top-notch luxury privately customized Rolls-Royce. No one uses this kind of car to hide.
Bomb.
Those are generally ordinary cars. It would be a pity if such a high-end customized luxury car exploded.
"I'm a little hungry after not eating for so long." Lin Ge suddenly saw a man pushing a food cart on the street, then looked at Baldwin and said, "Mr. Baldwin, this is Colombia after all. As the host,
Aren’t you ready to show your kindness as a landlord?”
"Okay." Baldwin nodded. In fact, he was also hungry.
Lin Ge clapped his hands: "Then let the driver take us directly to a place where we can eat authentic Colombian cuisine!"
Natasha immediately signaled the driver to do as Lin Ge wanted.
In fact, Colombia's food style is basically similar to European recipes, but it does have some local characteristics. They quickly found a place to eat. Although Baldwin had no appetite, he still asked Natasha to prepare more.
Cassava is the main source of starch for South Americans. It has no taste, has thick fiber, and sometimes has a bitter taste, so they like to eat sausages. They have all kinds of meat, sometimes mixed with beef and pork, and some even use rice and pig blood.
Stuffed blood sausage, these two things are often a snack before meals.
Then there are soybeans and corn tortillas as the staple food, as well as sausages, barbecue, and a banana... Yes, bananas are the staple food, and of course fried fish. Avocado, which is very expensive in China, is quite common here.
The barbecue is also very rich, with a variety of roast beef, roast pork, roast donkey meat, and roast pangolin meat!
"What is this?" Lin Ge was stunned when he ate pangolin meat.
"Pangolin," Natasha told him.
Lin Ge grinned and said to Xu Yun: "Brother, if we take a photo and post it on WeChat Moments or show it on Weibo, we will probably be investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission when we go back."
At this time, another bowl of fish with no name and soup made from local soybeans was served. Lin Ge was about to serve Xu Yun a bowl, but Xu Yun refused. It is better not to eat such strange-looking things in case of diarrhea.
Woolen cloth.
Of course, this meal still includes a lot of more orthodox food, including the popular burgers, steaks, pizza, risotto, cheese-roasted tender beef, etc.
Because it is a country close to the sea, seafood is indispensable, including all kinds of large lobsters, large crabs, all kinds of eight-claws, squid... everything is available.
Anyway, Lin Ge, who ate at the end, was extremely happy and even praised Baldwin as a guy who knows how to entertain.
Baldwin replied: "It's a pleasure to have friends from far away."
"Hey, you are so cultured, I don't even know how to answer the phone." Lin Ge laughed and said, "Then you should eat well and drink well so you can go on the road."
Such words have two meanings in China, but Baldwin didn't know that. He didn't understand that Lin Ge was mocking him for showing off what he knew about Chinese culture.
