Entertainment starts with travel

Chapter 181 Amsterdam

[Discover a new region (Netherlands), reward 30 yuan, and reward Dutch language]

Dutch is a bit like German...

Walking in the aisle leaving the airport, Ye Kai thought subconsciously.

Perhaps it is because both of them evolved from the Germanic language family, and some of them have similar pronunciations, which are a bit like Chinese dialects.Because the Netherlands belongs to a country alone, I specially sent it to Ye Kai in Dutch.

Language is very important when traveling to any country.

This is the most important bridge for communication between the two parties, and the most distinctive sign to distinguish between 'outsiders' and 'locals'.Even if the skin color is different, but the main language is the same, it will make it much more convenient for you to live in another country.

The hotel Ye Kai booked on the Internet was near the Van Gogh Museum. After leaving the airport, the two found a car and headed towards the city without stopping.

Unlike other countries, the Netherlands has a lot of lanes out of the airport.

In addition to a few passages for cars, there seems to be a dedicated road for bicycles.When Ye Kai checked information about the Netherlands on the Internet, they said that this is a kingdom of bicycles.

Ye Kai was thinking, does every family here have a bicycle?
Seeing the road specially built for bicycles, Ye Kai felt that this country attaches great importance to bicycles.No wonder greening is done so well, and reducing carbon dioxide emissions is also very important.

Saoirse opened the car window to enjoy the scenery outside the car, and said: "The roofs of these houses are so pointed, so interesting."

"This is called a gable building."

He still knows about architecture now, so he introduced it to Saoirse: "The characteristic of this kind of building is that it is high in the middle and low at both ends. Because the shape is like a mountain, it is called a gable."

This kind of building can usually be seen in areas with a lot of snow, because when the snow falls heavily, if the house with a flat roof is easily crushed by the snow, this kind of spire appears to make it easier for the snow to slide down.

It is estimated that after finding the hotel today, there will be no time for them to leave the city to see the tulips, so today's arrangement is to take a look at the Van Gogh Museum near the hotel, then eat something and sleep.

The freshness of arriving in a foreign country for the first time made Saoirse overjoyed, and her big eyes looking out of the car were full of curiosity.

Ye Kai also paid attention to the scenery outside the car.

There are many rivers in the urban area of ​​the Netherlands, like many zigzags surrounding the whole of Amsterdam, making the city seem to be built on water, a bit like the imagined Venice.

The flower boat passing by on the river caught Ye Kai's attention, but soon the car passed the boat.

Ye Kai asked the elder brother who was driving: "I just saw a boat with many flowers on it, what kind of boat is that?"

"Oh, that's the floating flower market, a feature of Amsterdam, young man, are you here for a tour?"

"Yes, I heard that the flowers here are very beautiful."

"Of course, but you came a few days late. The float parade was held only a week ago. At that time, there were many tourists, but now there are fewer." The driver brother shook his head, as if regretting that the number of passengers was not as high as before.

Ye Kai booked a hotel on Baerle Street, called the Greenhouse Hotel Amsterdam, which used to be the Academy of Music.It is now converted into a five-star hotel with high ratings.

After getting off the car, the two saw such an artistic building.

The Greenhouse Hotel Amsterdam is divided into two buildings, the one on the left is still a gabled building.But what makes the hotel full of sense of design is the 30-meter-high glass curtain wall on the front.

Saoirse looked at Ye Kai with confused eyes: "Do we live here?"

"of course."

He took Saoirse's hand and walked across the road, towards the expensive-looking hotel on the opposite side.There was no gasoline smell on the crosswalk, but an indescribable floral scent.

The flower season of these months has infected the whole of Amsterdam with a smell of flowers.

In fact, there is an inexplicable smell on the streets of Paris. In the morning, they will use perfume cars to sprinkle perfume in every corner of Paris. Maybe this is the reason why Paris perfume is famous all over the world?

There is a long garden in front of the hotel.

There is a corridor of about two or three meters between the garden and the hotel, where a few tables are scattered, and some guests living in the hotel dine on these tables.

Seeing a handsome man and a beautiful woman walking towards the hotel, a 30-year-old sister who was closest to Ye Kai greeted them with a smile and asked, "It seems that you have just arrived in Amsterdam? Do you want to have dinner together?"

Saoirse licked her lips.

"How about we eat first?" she suggested.

"..."

Shouldn't you go to the hotel to put your luggage first?

"Go and put things first."

Ye Kai replied to the foreign sister who invited them to dinner, and said, "Thank you, but let's deal with the housing issue first."

"That's a pity."

"There must be a chance."

After checking in, he was about to take the elevator to the floor where he lived, but Ye Kai saw the corridor emitting a mysterious blue light, so he dragged Saoirse towards the corridor.

Walking through the corner, a quiet swimming pool is hidden under the corridor of the hotel.

In other words, the location of the swimming pool is on the basement floor. Going up from this corridor is the hotel house, and going down is this beautiful swimming pool.

Yes, it is beautiful.

The height of the ground from the wall above is less than three meters, and five off-white swimming pool chairs are quietly placed on the small and delicate ground.What surprised Ye Kai was the swimming pool.

The swimming pool is not very wide, but it is very long. It is about 40 meters away and six to seven meters wide.

Around the edge of the swimming pool, there are no tiles about [-] centimeters from the water surface, but thick glass.There are blue light tubes inside, and these light tubes illuminate the entire swimming pool into a charming blue, whether on land or in water.

I don't know why, but they used these few blue light tubes to turn this place into the color of an alien planet.

"Come down for a swim later?" Ye Kai asked.

Saoirse said: "Aren't you going to visit the museum? I just saw it in the car. There are many museums here."

"Well, there are indeed many museums in the Netherlands, so we can't visit them all, right? A few days are enough."

"I'm hungry."

When she first arrived in a strange environment, Saoirse was very well-behaved.

Well, no matter how you say it, eating is the most important thing.

Going up from the corridor and opening the door of the room, you will see a huge glass wall. The room is spacious, with tables and sofas neatly placed.Since it is a glass wall, there must be curtains, which are gray and heavy to the touch.

There are beautiful oil paintings on the walls, and the overall design is more to Ye Kai's liking. If it was his own house, he would like to make it in this style.

The size of the bed is also quite large, four people sleeping side by side on this bed will not appear crowded, of course it is more than enough for two people.
