Chapter 235: Fellow Villagers Meet Fellow Villagers
While Xiao Peng and his friends were sitting there eating, two tall girls walked into 'E-Kosel'. One had dyed black hair and wore denim hot pants with a black T-shirt, while the other had blonde hair and wore jeans with loose overalls.
It’s a bit strange to say, this pair of work pants with a plaid shirt is basically a standard outfit for programmers in China, but when worn by that girl, it looks very fashionable.
From this we can see that whether a dress looks good or not definitely depends on the appearance and temperament of the wearer and has nothing to do with the dress itself.
"Selina, are we really going to the 'ruins'?" the black-haired girl asked the blonde girl, holding a flyer in her hand, which was the flyer Xiao Peng and the others had just received.
The blonde nodded and said, "We have to go, Olga, otherwise you won't feel too bored. Let's buy some drinks. Don't drink drinks given by others to avoid being drugged."
After hearing this, Olga asked, "What if we run into a gangster?"
The two looked at each other and said in unison: "I choose first!" Then they laughed like bells.
The two girls walked forward while laughing. Suddenly, Selina saw Xiao Peng and the other two sitting by the window. She poked Olga and said, "Olga, look at those three people sitting over there."
Olga took a look and said: "Selina, there is something wrong with your aesthetic sense. Are you interested in the uncle or that Oriental man?"
Selina pointed at the table and said, "Look at the table! They have flyers on it too! Look at these three people, they're tourists too, and they look like they're going to the ruins too. We can go there together."
Olga frowned and asked, "How do you know they are not bad people?"
Selina pointed at Walter and then at Khedira and said, "They are all Germans. We Germans are not bad people!"
This is very interesting to say, and it is also a kind of "cross-racial effect". Although they are all yellow people, Chinese people can almost tell at a glance who is the Japanese, Koreans, Mongolians and other yellow people from different East Asian countries, but they cannot tell which country the black and white people are from.
Unless that white person is from India, then he can be recognized at a glance...
By the same token, in the eyes of Westerners, they cannot tell which country the yellow race comes from, but they can recognize at a glance which country the same race comes from.
Olga curled her lips and said, "That doesn't necessarily mean they're not bad people. Look at them going out in their pajamas."
Serena's eyes widened after hearing this: "Olga, others have the right to say that, but you don't!"
The reason he said this is because Olga comes from Russia, where there is a strong "Adidas" culture. Gangsters are called "sports people" there. Now Russia also has a special term called "Gopnik", which refers to those street thugs who usually wear sportswear.
During the Soviet era, supplies were scarce, and anyone who could afford a set of Adidas clothing was considered quite wealthy! Athletes traveling abroad would bring back foreign sportswear. Adidas was the most popular brand, as for a long time, Soviet people considered it a Soviet product.
This is not a joke.
In 1980, Moscow hosted the Olympics, but due to their invasion of Afghanistan, they were boycotted internationally. Countless countries, including China, did not attend the Olympics. Ultimately, only 80 countries participated, the lowest number of participants since 1956.
When the Moscow Olympics took place, a serious problem arose: the former Soviet Union prioritized heavy industry over light industry, leaving it unable to produce even the necessary sportswear for the Olympics. Consequently, the Soviet Union partnered with Adidas, which sponsored all of the Soviet national team's uniforms. However, the Adidas logo was prohibited, and the famous three stripes were replaced with two, representing "worker-peasant cooperation," similar to the hammer and sickle.
Because the Soviet Union faced no competition at the Olympics, it performed exceptionally well, garnering immense exposure for Adidas. From that point on, Adidas became a luxury item available only to the wealthy. Wearing an Adidas brand in the Soviet Union during that period was a surefire way to turn heads. After the Soviet Union's collapse and the influx of Western goods, Adidas became the preferred clothing item in the region. Russia is still jokingly called "the country that understands Adidas best in the world," and this is no exaggeration: many Russians wear Adidas suits for weddings. Many Eastern European countries, influenced by the Soviet Union, also have an "Adidas obsession." The prevalence of people wearing sportswear in Eastern Europe is significantly higher than in Western Europe.
After hearing this, Olga said, "Come on, even if there are many people wearing sportswear in our country, those who wear sportswear are still little hooligans!"
Selina curled her lips and said, "Those two Germans are obviously not punks! Even if there is a punk, it's that Oriental guy."
Xiao Peng didn't know that he had become a "little punk" in their eyes. If he knew, he would have fainted in the toilet crying.
Selina patted Olga and said, "Let's go. Watch me!"
Ou Jia said "hmm", and the two of them walked towards Xiao Peng and the others.
Xiao Peng and his companions had just finished their meal when Walter picked up the flyer on the table and complained, "The map I drew with my feet is better than theirs. Damn it, finding the place with this map feels harder than a combat mission."
Xiao Peng laughed and patted Walter on the shoulder: "It's okay, just treat it as a walk, walk more and see more!"
Just as the three of them were about to stand up, Khedira suddenly pulled Xiao Peng and silently blocked him behind him: "What's going on?"
It turned out to be Selina and Olga who came over.
Selina blinked and said, "Are you French?"
Khedira speaks French.
"No. I'm German, what's the matter?" Khedira said.
Selina smiled and said to Olga excitedly: "See, I was right? You are German too, right?" She said the rest to Walter.
Walter nodded.
Selina asked curiously, "Where are you from?"
Walter said: "We are all from Baden-Württemberg."
"Ah!" Selina exclaimed. "I'm from Karlsruhe, and you?"
"I am Heidelberg and he is Mannheim," said Walter.
Selina said to Walter with a little excitement: "Let me introduce myself. I am Selina de Auguste, and this is Olga Babayeva. I see you are going to the 'ruins', right? Can we go together?"
Walter and Khedira looked at Xiao Peng together.
Although they spoke German, Xiao Peng had learned German and practiced German conversations with Walter and Khedira all day long, so there was no problem communicating in German.
Xiao Peng wanted to refuse. He was on business, so why would he bring two girls with him?
But Walter whispered: “Boss, take them with you.”
"Why?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
Walter whispered: “I dare not say that Olga, but this Selina is not simple.”
