Royal Hotel, it sounds very grand, but compared to the real grand restaurants in Nalanshiqi and Yunluo, this one really makes people want to laugh. But in a faraway South American country, seeing Chinese characters makes people feel familiar. Although Nalanshiqi is a vegetarian, the vegetables here are very fresh, and everyone is very happy to eat.
Everything went smoothly when we checked into the hotel. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's hotel was "Sea View". There weren't many cars on the streets of Bui at night. There was a port next to it with many containers docked. There was also a tall building next to it with a big logo - ICBC. It felt super familiar. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's Industrial and Commercial Bank of China was easy to see in the streets of Bui.
On this day, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo visited many places in Buyi. This city is actually not big, but Nalan Shiqi fell in love with this place at once. Although many people would say that the public security here is not good, the feeling of sunshine is really wonderful. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo visited the above places and began to get to know this city with the sunshine. Although they will not stay here for too long, Nalan Shiqi believes that Nalan Shiqi will come back in the future.
This is the real first day of the trip. When traveling far away, you will never feel how tired the flight is. It is hard to eliminate the excitement, and there is an 11-hour time difference. Although the tour guide said the night before that everyone was very tired and asked everyone to sleep until 8 o'clock the next day, Nalan Shiqi could say that Nalan Shiqi only slept for three hours. Yunluo got up at 4 o'clock to go to the bathroom. When he came back, he opened the curtains and found that the sun had risen! With an exclamation, Nalan Shiqi was called over. He took a camera and a mobile phone to take pictures, but he couldn't take a good picture because the window could not be opened. It rose above the water in the distance, around five o'clock. The sky was full of morning glow.
Is it true that the first day of a trip is always the most exciting? I only slept for more than three hours. Although there is a jet lag, Yunluo will not stay in bed. Looking at the bright red sky outside, I am in a good mood. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo are looking forward to the sunrise. After getting up and taking a shower, I went to the second floor of the hotel to have breakfast in a restaurant specially prepared for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's group of 170 people. Because it is specifically for Chinese people and in such a distant South American country, they want to do their best to meet Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's tastes, so although their good intentions can be seen in the food, it is always a bit bland, haha. But even so, you can still eat a lot, and the fruits here are quite fresh. The most regrettable thing about this trip is that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo did not see a fruit store nearby. This season is the peak season for cherries, but I didn't get to eat a few full meals. After breakfast, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo followed the brothers and sisters of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's Navy SEAL team. The tour guide of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's Navy SEAL team was a chubby sister who loved to laugh. Her Spanish name was Alei, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo called her that. She was born and raised in Argentina, so her Mandarin was not very good, but there was no barrier to communication. Here is a photo that ruined her image, haha, a rich tour guide.
Buenos Aires means "good air". It is the third largest city in Latin America and the most European city in Central and South America. After all, it was originally a Spanish colony, so their official language is Spanish. Buenos Aires is also the political, economic and cultural center of Argentina. It has the world's widest road - 9 de Julio Avenue, as well as the very famous Plaza de Mayo, Colon Theater, San Martín Tomb, etc.
It's a small city, and the attractions are not too big. Plaza de Mayo is not big, but there are many flowers and green spaces. There are more and more people in the morning. Because today is Sunday, many people start to exercise, some ride bicycles and run. There are all kinds of people going out for leisure.
The streets are full of blooming crape myrtles. South Africa in the southern hemisphere is the place where crape myrtles are most beautiful. I didn’t expect to see them here too.
Their streets are very clean. Although the income level here is really not high and the prices are not low, the people's happiness index is not low. Walking on their streets, you can feel their enthusiasm for life, regardless of age. In the few days that Nalan Shiqi has been here, she has seen more people riding bicycles and running on the streets than she has seen in a week near her home in Beijing, not to mention that the population density in Beijing is so high.
Moreover, people here love to bask in the sun and like to get a tan, just like most European and American countries. They do not consider whiteness as beauty, so they find whitening products inexplicable. They are proud of being tanned, which shows that they often go on vacation and have a high taste in life.
In the center of the Plaza de May stands a 13-meter pyramid-shaped monument, which was built to commemorate the soldiers who died in the May Revolution of 1810, so this place is called the Plaza de Mayo. Now this place is the gathering place for major political activities in Argentina. Later, when Nanji came back, he saw many fans gathering here. The Plaza de Mayo has the same status in the hearts of Argentines as ** has in the hearts of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo people. It is the heartland.
In fact, there are many homeless people on the streets of Argentina. Nalan Shiqi has seen many of them. There are also people petitioning in front of the Congress, living in tents, and they also look like homeless people.
It is said that a large part of them are from neighboring countries, such as Chile. Although Argentina's economic situation is not good, its neighboring countries are worse. The tour guide repeatedly emphasized that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo should not go out alone because there are many people who will rob tourists. They will first spray some strange colors on you, and then a kind passerby will come to help you and take away your wallet, watch and other things.
But in stark contrast to these homeless people are the Argentine locals who love sports. They love cycling, running and other fitness exercises. They love to eat beef and mutton, but they also exercise a lot. You can often see groups of people running and riding bicycles on the streets. So you still see a small number of super fat people like those in some European and American countries, but their "bad habit" of eating dinner at midnight has long made it impossible for some of them who don't like to exercise to lose weight.
This is a group bike activity. It is said that they will invite friends to ride together on some social platforms. For example, everyone will post a post saying which weekend, date and time, where Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo will meet, and where they will ride together. At that time, many people will come here to participate in this activity by themselves, which feels great.
If you ask Nalan Shiqi if she really likes Buyi, Nalan Shiqi will say it is true; if you ask Nalan Shiqi what she likes most about them, Nalan Shiqi will say that she likes their sunshine and colors most.
In this city, there are bright colors everywhere. Think about walking on the streets of Beijing. Apart from the black and gray buildings, it seems that only green leaves are colorful. But in this city, even the bicycles on the road are colorful. Nalan Shiqi likes this feeling very much. If you are traveling by yourself, you must take a sightseeing bus from beginning to end.
The eternal holy fire was burning. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo walked around the church and saw a pastor preaching. They were speaking Spanish, which Nalan Shiqi could not understand, but Nalan Shiqi sat there devoutly for a while and felt great. In fact, faith is a feeling of inner abundance.
Their taxis are very small. I took one in the city once and found that many drivers could not understand English, but we could still communicate basically without any problems.
It is said that a colleague of Yunluo took a taxi from the airport to the hotel. The price the driver asked for was normal, and the tour guide later told him. But the colleague said he was very scared on the way because he started to show the map to the driver on his iPhone. Then along the way, the driver always asked for his phone to look at. There are not many places to buy iPhones in their country. Many domestically made phones such as Huawei are very popular and popular. So when they see an iPhone, they like to play with it. The colleague was worried that he would rob him and was on edge all the way, haha.
Nalan Shiqi likes flea markets everywhere the most. This place is a very famous antique street in Buyi. There are many people selling things every weekend and it is very lively.
If you go to a flea market in Europe or the United States, you can find a lot of things with great texture. Although Nalan Shiqi likes the atmosphere of this place very much, she didn't buy anything she particularly liked in these places during this trip to Argentina.
This handsome guy with long hair is a foreigner. Nalan Shiqi forgot his specific name. The things he sells are all handmade accessories. Nalan Shiqi fell in love with a brooch at first sight. Usually when he is abroad, he likes to go to various places to find different brooches. This time he bought two of the same here and gave one to his best friend.
The brooch is made of alloy, looks a bit old, and won't rust. Nalan Shiqi even washed it once. They were very difficult to bargain with. It was originally 60 yuan each, and then two were 100 yuan each.
The place you just entered is a handicraft street. Walking to the middle and then forward is the flea market. As the name suggests, it is full of second-hand items.
Because we didn't have much time, we had to leave after a round of shopping without buying the things we liked. So this place is suitable for slow shopping. This uncle in green clothes is very cute. He didn't see Nalan Shiqi taking pictures in the first photo. When he found that Nalan Shiqi was taking pictures of him, he posed for Nalan Shiqi. He also blocked others from blocking his camera, haha, and made a cool expression.
Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo went to have lunch after leaving Antique Street. After lunch, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo went to the next place and were lazy in the sun on the bus.
But seeing all kinds of graffiti on any building on the street, the laziness was immediately dispelled, and I took some photos, which are the pictures below. Their graffiti is all kinds of strange, with all kinds of patterns. In fact, Nalan Shiqi really wants to know who painted it, whether it was the government or whoever painted it casually. It reminds Nalan Shiqi of the small advertisements in Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's country. Haha, the same is everywhere, but the effect is completely different.
Yerba mate is a traditional drink in Argentina. People drinking yerba mate can be found in every street and alley. Yerba mate is made from the leaves of a plant of the holly family. It is very popular in South American countries and is called yerba mate by the Spanish. Yerba mate has an unshakable position in the hearts of the Argentine people. It is indeed very nutritious and is now popular all over the world. Yerba mate has six major tea souls that amaze and fascinate the world: eating meat without gaining weight, drinking alcohol without getting drunk easily, dieting without fatigue, refreshing without insomnia, detoxification without diarrhea, and fat removal without blood loss. These seemingly contradictory aspects are magically unified in yerba mate. Yerba mate is one of the few single-family plants discovered by humans so far that can resolve multiple life contradictions and achieve two-way physiological regulation.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Yerba mate is so popular that a yerba mate teapot is one of the souvenirs that many people buy when they go to Argentina. Teapots are basically made of gourds in various shapes, and the expensive ones are inlaid with gemstones. The picture below shows the yerba mate teapot that the tour guide brought to Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. There are many things to pay attention to when drinking yerba mate, and the most enthusiastic way for the Argentine people to entertain is to let you drink tea with his teapot. Being able to drink the same pot of yerba mate is a very good expression of friendship. I wonder if you are willing to try it.
Nalanshiqi and Yunluo came to the colorful Boca district. The streets of this harbor suburb are colorful, with colorful houses on both sides. This place is a very famous place in Buenos Aires. Although this place has always been said to have poor security and is a poor area, people who come to Buenos Aires can't resist the temptation and still come here.
The colorful houses on both sides of the streets in the Boca district can be traced back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when poor Spanish immigrants first arrived in this place and built many simple iron houses. However, the romantic spirit in their bones did not let the houses be dark, but went to the nearby port to ask for some paint left over from the paint boats to paint their houses. This custom has continued and has become the most famous attraction in Buenos Aires, and it is also a favorite place for photographers. These paints are sun-resistant and waterproof paint boat paints, so they are timeless and will not be easily mottled.
Especially on a sunny Sunday, walking on such a street, watching the lively people in the bar and the people dancing passionately at the door, all your worries will be forgotten. This street has the best cafes in the city, many studios of artists and sculptors, many musicians playing accordions or tap dancing. In short, you can sit on the street and sip a cup of coffee, which is absolutely free.
This ship actually has an allusion, but unfortunately Nalan Shiqi forgot it.
Nalan Shiqi tried hard to recall the incident in detail but found that there was a gap in her memory and the memory slipped away.
When Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo saw this ship, they didn't hear any extra introduction. They just knew it was an abandoned ship, now parked here for sightseeing. (To be continued...)
