Entertainment starts with travel

Chapter 25 Emerald Country
Ireland is known as the Emerald Country, or the Green Island, the Emerald.

Green is the national color in Ireland, just like red in China, and they will even wear green hats and green clothes on the streets at certain times, which is often referred to as the Green Hat Festival by Chinese netizens.

For this reason, Ye Kai guessed that it should be the credit of this land.

Affected by the warm Atlantic current, Ireland's four seasons are not clearly divided. It can be said that it is like spring all year round. Even in the hottest month, the average temperature is only 16 degrees Celsius.

This kind of weather is very suitable for the growth of grass, so Ireland's breeding industry is very developed. The pastures and pastures account for 80.00% of the country's total area. At its most glorious time, 60.00% of the world's milk is produced in Ireland.

And there are countless rivers and lakes on this island, which is definitely a pearl on the Atlantic islands.

Ye Kai originally had good English, but now that he has received the English skills provided by the system, he no longer has any problems communicating with foreigners.Nowadays, whether it is American English or Cockney accent, it is easy to speak.

Ye Kai was very nervous when passing the border inspection, because he didn't know if he would let you pass, but fortunately, after checking Ye Kai's passport and visa, he let Ye Kai enter the country.

Cork Airport is the second largest airport in Ireland, but there are very few people.

The Irish have experienced serious famines in history. The first famine claimed 40 lives, and the second caused 70 deaths.

So even Cork, the second largest city in Ireland, has a population far less than that of a small city in China, with a permanent population of only 20.

Ye Kai stood outside the airport and waited for a taxi. After waiting for a long time, he didn't see a taxi coming.

He was a little suspicious that there would be no cars coming and going here, so he found a policeman at the airport and asked, "Excuse me, is this the place where taxis stop?"

The policeman is 1.8 meters tall, but it is estimated to weigh three hundred catties, and said: "Yes, sir. This is the place where commuters stop and leave. The airport shuttle bus is inside. You must have missed it? If you are in a hurry, you can You can go to the parking lot over there to have a look.”

"What?"

Are you talking too fast?
Ye Kai is also proficient in English and Irish now, but he didn't understand what he said.It's not that I didn't understand one or two words, but that I didn't understand a single sentence in the whole paragraph.

The policeman slowed down his speech, repeated his previous answer, and said, "I'm sorry Irish people are like this, I hope you like Ireland."

All speak fast?

"thank you, sir."

"You're welcome, I wish you a pleasant trip to Ireland."

When leaving the airport, Ye Kai seemed to see a bus, but when Ye Kai was walking towards that side, he was fainted, so he walked out of the airport directly, and now it is a bit troublesome to go back to the airport.

So Ye Kai came to the parking area according to the police's instructions.

There were still no taxis in the parking lot, but Ye Kai met an Irishman who was about to go home after driving his wife off.

When he walked into the parking lot, he saw Ye Kai, so he took the initiative to ask: "Are you going to Cork? If so, I can take you there. It's not easy to wait for a taxi here."

"Thank you, I'm going to Cork."

"Come on, foreign friends," he said.

The Irishman is called Dom Highway, 30 years old, lives on the banks of the River Lea in Cork, and is a high school teacher.Ireland attaches great importance to education and is one of the best countries for studying abroad.

Dom Haiwei has been introducing Ireland to Ye Kai, from his hometown to Dublin.

Ye Kai also told him his purpose of coming to Ireland.

"Are you going to see Riverdance?"

"Yes, our country once invited the Irish to perform, and I was immediately fascinated. I always thought it was the coolest dance in the world."

Dom Highway laughed and said proudly: "Tap dancing is the quintessence of Ireland. Every Irishman is a dancer. If it is not in the car, I will perform in front of you."

Hearing that Ye Kai liked tap dancing, he was obviously happier.

"Actually, there are tap dances in the United States, but they are all learned from Ireland. Their dances are like mud... If you want to go to the performance of Riverdance, I know there is a place."

"Where?" Ye Kai asked.

"Dublin, our capital. There will be several performances in ten days. Besides Riverdance and Flame Dance, they are all very good tap dance dramas. I recommend you to watch other shows as well."

"I'll definitely watch it when I get a chance."

The roads in Ireland are very narrow, and the driver's cab is on the right. Ye Kai is sitting on the left. He is not used to it. Looking at the road ahead, he always feels that he is driving the wrong way.

The most critical issue is not the steering wheel.

At every intersection on Irish roads, there is a sign.This sign will remind you how many car accidents have occurred here and how many people have died.Does this help with driving?

But he soon arrived in the urban area, Ye Kai didn't have to suffer from this kind of fear.

This is the first time in his life that he has gone abroad. The western-style architecture makes Ye Kai feel novel, and the air environment of Ireland also fascinates Ye Kai. It is two different styles from the snow area.

Although the air in the snow area is good, the oxygen is thin. Ireland does not have this problem at all. It can be said that the entire island is covered with vegetation, which never withers all year round.

Departing at one o'clock in the morning, after sixteen hours, because I was running after time, it was eleven o'clock in the morning when I arrived in Cork.Ye Kai didn't think about jet lag at all, he was extremely excited.

The most important thing now is to find a place to stay today, and then go to taste the delicious Irish food.

After Dom Haiwei asked Ye Kai, he parked his car at a hotel by the river. This hotel is located on the bank of the Lea River. The special design of the attic allows the balcony to protrude from the river bank and hang directly on the Lea River.

Houses all over Cork are low, even hotels, with only three storeys.After Ye Kai entered the room, he put his backpack on the table and walked into the balcony.

Such balconies are very common in Western movies, and when Ye Kai was doing post-production photography, he often saw couples taking wedding photos in this kind of place.

The so-called European style.

After opening the balcony, most of Cork can be seen at a glance, and the opposite bank is a corner of the River Lee.Cork has established a pier here, and now two huge cruise ships are docking at the pier.

The river and the river bank form a V shape, and the line of sight passes through the houses on the opposite bank, and on the other side is the endless river.

Ireland is a large plain, and as long as you stand on a slightly higher place, you can see the whole city.This hotel is a famous viewing hotel, which costs 300 Euros a night.

That is more than 2000 Huaxia coins.

It's okay to stay for one night, but Ye Kai will feel distressed even if he spends more money if he stays longer.

Ye Kai took a photo in the room, then stood on the balcony and took a panoramic view of Cork, and posted it on his Weibo, leaving a message saying.

"After flying for a day, I finally arrived in Ireland. At this moment, I am standing in a hotel in Cork, ready to set off to find Irish food. The live broadcast will start in half an hour, and the live broadcast room of station b******"
