A European destination of speech

27 April 2004 9 o'clock in the evening, we at Pudong airport terminal collection, Shanghai Airlines service the company's staff has issued during this wait, wait, wait for the Passport ticket check-in, our national guide is a Taiwan people, look to the 40-year-old, then know that he was born in 1956, is should be fast fifty .23: 30 minutes, China Eastern flights to Paris, and the machine are mostly Chinese, waving, Zhejiang, Fujian area to understand accent, four or five or forty-year-old women with six or seven children, is the person's basic Constitution. we see on the media and Fujianese upsurge of enthusiasm, in fact, it is those who illegally successful family immigration after the formation of glory flames.

12-hour non-stop flight around the Paris time, finally arrived at Charles de Gaulle airport, France by a police check passport, will use the Chinese say, Hello, thank you. courtesy. Let us these long flight after heart joy.

We would also like to turn to Rome, transit procedures, our tour guide was very busy, and Fujianese for those who are not in English, have come to him to consult the relevant transfer matters, many of them are turn to Barcelona, listen to the guide said that there is a European underground clothing factory of big business, is the Wenzhou help control business.

Charles de Gaulle airport is very large, we go through security again to go to Rome airport lounge, this road was the strict inspection, take off your coat, solutions for belt, shoes ..., France's counter-terrorism consciousness really stronger than Chinese.

Fly to Rome flights is 11 points, there is still a long way off, we'll go out in the airport lounge, in the duty free shop to buy some cosmetics, through some of the later, and then collapse and tour chat. Finally got on the plane to Rome. Air France services as China Eastern Airlines, lunch variety seldom, never eat, the way non-PCT is in the flying over the Alps snow mountain, the splendor of the scene makes us excited over.

Two hours later, the aircraft landed in Rome Leonardo da Vinci Airport, in the luggage office, a first unhappy, three members of the baggage does not arrive at random and airport simple representations, out of the airport, a bus then we went to Rome, the guide said that the airport will not to luggage directly to the hotel, and said that in Europe turn this sort of thing a high probability of occurrence, who also did not expect, one of the two pieces of luggage until we returned to Shanghai didn't see.

Drive is an old Italy, he robbed a help us put your luggage in the baggage bin of the vehicle, service consciousness really good, the next day for a younger, very professional, we just put the luggage into the car next to it, you can imagine if China drivers will be happy to put your own luggage.

So in Europe tipping is value for money.

The car took us into the old city of Rome, the guide said the coach cannot enter the old city, we get back out there, waiting for the local endeavor to meet us, guide us to leave me, don't be alone of the Lamb, beware of thieves in Rome, and so on, say, everybody zhui zhui out before I heard that generates great Italy thief, managed to be recruited.

The first station to fan Tai Kang, to ride the bus in Rome, on the platform, and with (the one in Rome lives for more than a decade of Taiwan woman) took the microphone to beware of thieves, she said, noting that smoking guy, he is a thief, we are unwittingly turn, sure enough, next to a man in smoke, looks a bit like Eastern Europe, close to several of his subconscious members get out a few steps, then the car arrived, we were on the bus, car, many people turn to see the "thief" did not catch up, we just to breathe, tour guide and cried, we take care that the bald, he may be a thief, a bald man standing between us, we also look to him so that he is confused and surprised to see us.

It is a bit stressful and a little funny, it's a good thing, in Rome's tourist attractions on the bus back and forth between, invulnerable. in fact, I think the tour is a bit too nervous, it seems to me that in Rome, take the bus is not more dangerous than in Shanghai, not just the Rome, we are all places are very safe and friendly.

Then, says Rome impressed, this is an ancient relics all over the city, so I really appreciate the ancient city.

We have been to 5000 years of ancient civilizations and proud, but we retain historic sites apart from the tombs, 500 years is uncommon, but Rome is all over this type of building, its vehemence of Grand, detail of the fine, save them intact, so breathtaking. which called the Pantheon, it is said that a thousand years of history, the tall order of dazzling dome even modern architecture, is also a high degree of difficulty of the structure of the ancient buildings of Rome-the protection will be great to have a site called the ancient Roman ruins, are some of the collapse of the stone pillar, a bit like the look of yuanmingyuan. you often see a dilapidated Roman stone alone stand in two modern buildings like the silent between. telling here have glory and glory.

But Rome narrow and winding streets and lanes, stone road, elegant cafes and shops, the enthusiasm of pedestrian, so captivating picture, imagine how many daily romantic story in this stage.

Unfortunately too little time, or we take the taste, the tour takes us to a dinner in the restaurant, is a simple five food tastes better than a soup. Chinese General home cooking, restaurant in the future, so obviously most of the Chinese people to open the restaurant as a means of livelihood, even at home not burnt food.

After the bus took us to the outskirts of Rome, this holiday inn is totally different than our domestic on the brand awareness of the hotel, the hotel was built in the outskirts, appearance and not dazzling, and even some simple, internal decoration is not luxury, but a very neat and clean, but also very suited to its name, the Holiday Inn. domestic mostly four star above, this could also do with market demands for. hotel room is small, but equipped with towel towels wash liquid bath fluids, etc., as well as electric blow tube, later lived in the hotel are so, so in General, and domestic hotel compared to just bring a toothbrush toothpaste, slippers.

, But these things can also be bought at the hotel.

Friendship prompt: in Rome, the guide will patiently reminded you watch out for thieves, this is the professional requirements and responsibilities appropriate precaution is necessary, but be sure not to impact your tour of leisure mood, make believe, Rome thief must not be more than Shanghai.

The next morning, enjoy a continental breakfast after we went to Florence, Italy Renaissance Center City-Buddha city impressed me is the ancient city of suburban residential area, quiet and simple but full of amenities. ancient architectural style as all of the ancient city of Italy, the Town Hall square of tourists and the people at ease, as well as through several lanes is suddenly in the Huihong spread before of Notre-Dame Cathedral, splendid flowers and magnificent, had to marvel at the detail of the complex and magnificent.

Since then, we in the Church as the Center, the last to go wandering around the Church, in the long patiently waiting to enter the Church visit of abortion, suddenly burst into a loud applause and cheers, head, one on the wedding dress of the bride riding a cart through, these tourists from around the world have spontaneously to bless them, this scene in the movie more than once to see, let me feel the ground quite a lot of feelings, because including myself, Chinese tourists mostly indifferent, in the country, the Chinese have long been used to treat cold around strange things, city streets, are indifferent face.

Greetings from a stranger, when you full of vigilance. Chinese etiquette has long since disappeared. We are in a complete lack of trust, there is no integrity of society. Pulling away, this feeling a lot, followed. It is also important that the European Church is equivalent to the Chinese temples, ubiquitous, the difference is that they do not receive tickets.

Guide to our lobby to pizza look, stroke does not have such a station, with the consent of the members, the Guide to we charge 20 euros per person, go to Pisa.

Pisa is very small, with the exception of the Tower there is no else can see it, in fact, this is only a church bell tower that interests me is that European construction of the Church has undergone many hundreds of years or even centuries, are basically the works of art, design and all nice, nor what the budget, how much money you make and how much money a lay-off, definitely not coming, or do work completion. This stops may be decades hundreds of years, if then hit a war famine or anything, just stop for a longer time. And so when the Church has raised enough money, then continue to make, so they are definitely not the church made a hasty, and definitely not cutting corners, this is left to human beings so much quality and artistic achievements which are of high quality goods.

In contrast, China is five thousand years of history of civilization, but because of the way WFC, difficult long-term retention, ancient buildings are mostly on later repaired, three hundred years of history is a long time.

But European building is masonry, can withstand years of erosion. So there are more than three hundred years is not surprising. Of course, thousands of years of tombs we Chinese but many.

In Florence, dwell family hotel, in urban areas, the guide is a four star.

Very old or very young, we start our room in the basement, after representations only to the above. Rooms are small to put double bed only. Confused European hotel star standard, prior to have been aware of its standards is domestic, but it's so bad the four-star? let the guide said. In short, the urban areas than rural areas, if you live in the suburbs of the hotel, its standards more in line with the Chinese people's habits. Furthermore, even if I live in the city nor the lively at night, back to the hotel was very late, so nobody wanted to go out.

Next stop is in Venice, Italy to the West from the East coast of Central Italy, passing through fog and climate changing Apennine mountains, in drilling and countless mountain tunnel after noon we arrived at the outskirts of Venice, a family restaurant for lunch.

And then by boat to visit the shopping liulichang. Most people interested in, then go to the island, visit the famous, Marco Polo call it the world's most beautiful square of San Marco square. Really beautiful, Dove is too much. It is raining and too cold so I didn't go to sit the poles of Dora the Explorer. In the alley rampant over an hour.

A night in the outskirts holidayinn, next-day leave Italy, began the scenery infinite journey of the Alps.

The next morning, we left Venice, also will leave Italy, all the way to drive to the North, in the town of Verona for the rest, nice old city, and a handful of idle visitors, street side open-air cafes, live atmosphere. There are also standards quite high street. This small city, like in the restaurant. After lunch, continue to be in. Car flashed, gradually moving to the Alpine mountains, plain masonry Italy village residence was big Woody mountain slope roof of place of residence. Building, building, fine, white walls, the snowy mountains beautifully arranged and green grass such as shadow mountain slopes and leisurely sheep and cattle, with intoxicating classical atmosphere, by the way, is the kind of European classical romantic music atmosphere, we have to Austria
