Entertainment starts with travel

Chapter 197 Cambridge, England
I don't know how the British feel to the Chinese.

But the United Kingdom in Ye Kai's impression is the outlook on life conveyed to Ye Kai in "Jane Eyre", and the ubiquitous emotion that appeared in the movie "Love Comes First".

Ye Kai landed at Cambridge International Airport.

33 million in hand.

He has had a profound influence on British airports. Ye Kai has watched the movie Love Actually five times.Whenever I feel that the world is impermanent and I am struggling, I will think of the immigration gate at the airport.

Ye Kai walked out of the airport with his luggage alone.

What he saw was the same as in the movie, the hugs of relatives, the passionate kisses of lovers...

If you want to find a place where there is only love and no hatred or greed, Ye Kai thinks this place is probably the airport.If you pay attention, you will find that the world is full of love.

love actually is all around (love is everywhere).

But this movie makes Ye Kai feel regretful that his two favorite characters are not together.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening when we arrived in England, and the sky was getting dark. Ye Kai needed to find a hotel in the city to rest, and set off for the publishing house early tomorrow morning.

Ye Kai was rejected by many publishing houses, but was finally confirmed by Cambridge Press, the top five British publishing houses. In fact, they were the last publishing house.

If the manuscript is rejected by Cambridge Press, the novel will be sealed for at least a year.

Getting on the bus from the airport, Ye Kai said, "How long will it take to get to the Hilton Hotel?"

The in-flight meal provided by British Airways is a bit greasy, and I have eaten too much fried food recently, so Ye Kai wants to eat a lighter dinner, and I will eat less French fries and burgers for the time being.

"Which Hilton is it?"

Ye Kai recalled a moment and said, "Hilton Cambridge."

"It's 13 minutes if you take Newmarker Road, but the road is under maintenance today, so we have to take the maeshall way ... 18 minutes, sir."

After the driver replied to Ye Kai, he started the vehicle and drove towards the city.

Ye Kai was still playing with his mobile phone, he was taken aback when he heard this, and looked at the driver, he was wearing a blue suit, elegant black-rimmed glasses, and his hair was also meticulous, not like a taxi driver, but like a boss .

Ye Kai looked out the window, the vehicles had merged into the traffic flow on the road.

"Sorry to bother you." Ye Kai said, "I may have gotten on the wrong bus. Sorry, I thought it was a taxi."

"This is a taxi." The driver looked at Ye Kai from the rearview mirror and said with a smile, "You are right, this is a taxi. I am also a taxi driver by profession."

"Uh……"

Ye Kai was a little speechless, he saw a lot of drivers in suits and leather shoes, but it was the personal driver of the big boss.Taking an ordinary taxi, who has seen such a formally dressed driver.

Maybe there is something important after get off work, such as a date or something?

Ye Kai put this question aside for the time being. There was one more thing Ye Kai was more curious about, so he asked, "How did you figure out the exact time from the airport to Hilton?"

If it was Ye Kai, he would say: "About 10 minutes" "About 10 minutes"

But to be precise which way to go and how long it will take.If this road can't be taken, let's change the route, how long will it take, how to remember it?

This isn't coming home from get off work, taxi drivers have to drive around the city every day.

"Oh? This is our compulsory course." He said.

"Required courses?"

The driver sat upright, very serious, and said: "All British drivers must pass the 'knowledge test'. You must be familiar with every street and road in Cambridge to be qualified for this position."

"Is it really all?"

"Yes, all the streets."

"..."

Ye Kai hasn't paid attention to this kind of problem before. When taking a taxi in China, the driver will also remember every road. Isn't this something that practice makes perfect?

Do you have to memorize the map before becoming a driver?

"What does the knowledge test mainly test?" Ye Kai was very curious about this.

"Do you want to know?"

"yes."

The driver laughed heartily for the first time, and said:
"This is something I don't want to recall, so let me tell you, as a driver in the UK, you have to memorize about 500 common routes in the city.

People like me who often go to the airport must memorize 7 roads and streets within a radius of 25000 miles with the airport as the center, and memorize the places of interest, scenic spots, apartment buildings, houses, police stations, temples, and churches , houses of worship, hotels, bars..."

after awhile.

Ye Kai was a little dizzy, but the driver was still talking.

"...Furniture stores, china stores, nightclubs, restaurants, alas, almost every place a passenger might go to must be memorized. Sir? Sir, are you still there? The hotel is here."

This is the hotel?

Ye Kai paid the bill and got out of the car in a daze. Looking at the magnificent Cambridge Hilton Hotel in front of him, he couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to the British taxi drivers.

No, full marks for sympathy.

Is being a taxi driver so scary?Isn't it enough to operate the vehicle proficiently and then have a navigation?You don't give navigation face at all by doing this.

Ye Kai stood holding the suitcase for a long time, and finally sighed: "Invincible."

There is still a cold air in the UK in April. Its season is the same as in China, it is spring, but due to the high latitude, it is still a bit cold in the UK now.

Before leaving Huaxia, Ye Kai would definitely check the local weather conditions to prevent such weather changes.

Walked into Hilton with a suitcase and walked towards the front desk.

Rooms at the Cambridge Hilton are rarely full, it's not as famous as London and it's hard to find a suitable place to live throughout the city during the tourist season.

In addition to the number of tourists, another thing that prevents ordinary tourists from living here is Hilton's high housing costs.

Miss Angsley at the front desk was touching up her makeup. She had just broken up with her boyfriend half an hour ago, causing her to go to the bathroom and cry a lot.Just washed my face, it is in a state of bare makeup.

Beulai, who was sitting next to her, suddenly said, "A guest is here."

Miss Angsley quickly lowered her head, covered her face with the high table at the front desk and continued to put on makeup. According to the regulations, they are not allowed to face customers without makeup.

Of course it was Ye Kai who came over.

Because the weather in the UK is relatively cold, he wore a kaki-colored windbreaker and a gray scarf, and walked to the front desk with a smile on his face.

Beulley stood up and said with a smile, "Hi, welcome to choose Hilton."

Ye Kai nodded and replied: "Hi, my name is Ye, I reserved a room here today..."

Beulley looked at the message displayed on the computer, and said, "Yes, your room is on the sixth floor..." She glanced at Ansley, saw that she was still putting on makeup, and said, "I'll take you up Bar."
