Chapter 244

Chapter 244 It's too ugly

Zambia, capital city U.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the weather in U City was exceptionally good, with the scorching sun hanging high in the sky, Wang Yu walked out of the airport slowly with a backpack and sunglasses on his back.

All of a sudden, waves of heat came. The empire in December was a cold winter, but here, the temperature was as high as 32 degrees Celsius.

Moreover, the abundant rainfall made the air very humid. Wang Yu, who was in it, felt sweaty in less than a minute.

At U City International Airport, foreigners like Wang Yu are like fireflies in the dark.

Before he could see the surrounding situation clearly, two skinny black guys came up to meet him, speaking half-baked English, and reaching out to grab Wang Yu's bag at the same time.

Such a scene could easily be misunderstood as a robbery, but Wang Yu knew that the two black men just wanted a little tip.

Outside the airport, there are many such locals wandering around. Once you see passengers walking out of the airport, especially foreigners like Wang Yu.

They will come forward to help with luggage and packages in order to get some tips.

However, if you think they are simple, you are very wrong. In fact, this is a kind of blackmail in disguise. Whether you want to or not, you must tip them.

Moreover, the airport will not handle this kind of dispute at all. Anyone with a normal IQ can guess that there must be some connection between the airport and these guys.

Moreover, some customs officers at the airport will deliberately stop foreign tourists when they see them and ask to check their luggage and backpacks. In fact, they also want tips.

Wang Yu shook his head helplessly. These guys are too ugly to eat. They carry a small bag on their own and don't need anyone's help at all.

Reaching out to block the black boy's hand, Wang Yu took out 10 dollars from his pocket, waved it in front of the two, and then said:

"I need a taxi now, and I will give it to whoever calls one for me first."

In U City, a tip of $10 is considered a lot, and ordinary passengers, most of them, just give a dollar or two dollars to make a point.

Immediately, the eyes of the two black boys lit up, and after looking at each other, they quickly ran towards the distance.

Looking at the running speed of the two black men, Wang Yu curled his lips and had to admit that the black men did have an advantage in sprinting.

Soon, an old white van drove towards Wang Yu, followed by a running black guy.

After Wang Yu handed over the $10 in his hand to the black guy, he got into a taxi, announced the name of the hotel, and leaned lazily on the seat with his eyes closed.

He wasn't worried about being robbed at all. If the driver had this idea, Wang Yu would definitely blow his head off.

There is no death penalty in the laws of Zambia, and there is no so-called manslaughter, and there is no need to bear any legal responsibility for killing in self-defense.

Even in some African countries, there is no legal sanction for intentional killing, such as Somalia, etc., and there are some primitive savage tribes living in the wilderness, killing people is fine.

The taxis in the entire U City are almost all this old-fashioned van, which does not have an on-board air conditioner at all.

In just a few minutes, Wang Yu was so bored that he had to roll down the car window to breathe.

On the contrary, the black driver on the side was still driving honestly, without even sweat on his forehead.

Half an hour later, the taxi stopped in front of a hotel. After paying the fare and tip, Wang Yu slowly got out of the car.

This hotel looks very old from the outside, and even domestic express hotels are better than him, but this hotel is indeed the only five-star hotel in U City.

After entering the hotel and checking the information at the front desk, Wang Yu took the room card and went to his room.

The room is not big, only a dozen square meters, but fortunately, it has its own bathroom.

Just such a room that costs one soft girl coin a day in China, but here costs 285 dollars a day.

Many people have a misconception that the level of consumption in Africa is very low. If you think this way, it can only show that you are very wrong.

It is true that the consumption of local people is really not high. They can live well with only 1 dollar a day, but that is not the case for outsiders.

Especially in some high-end places, the consumption is even higher than that in European and American countries.

Just like the taxi just now, the distance from the airport to the hotel is less than 30 kilometers. The fare plus tip is 78 US dollars, which is equal to more than 500 soft sister coins.

It hurts that you spend a lot of money, but you don't get the enjoyment of the corresponding price.

After closing the door, Wang Yu took out his laptop, connected it to the Internet, and began to inquire about companies that rent helicopters in U City.

Even though he's tired right now, he can't sleep and needs to get ready for the day, as well as be jet-lagged.

The time in BJ is six hours faster than that of U City. At this time, it is already more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon in the empire.

Wang Yu had already spent 30 hours on the plane, but at this moment, sleepiness hit him like a tide.

However, he had to hold on and reverse the time difference, otherwise, it would affect tomorrow's live broadcast.

Zambia's economy was very backward in the past few years. However, due to the policies in recent years, it has developed rapidly and the relatively developed transportation has also driven the tourism industry.

It is a long distance from U City to the lower reaches of Victoria Falls, about 400 kilometers.

Renting a helicopter here will cost at least one hundred thousand dollars, but Wang Yu has no plan to go to other cities.

Leaving aside the hassle, except for U City, there are probably no helicopter rental companies in other cities in Zambia, so Wang Yu would rather spend more money and save time.

Zambia's tourism industry is in peak season from April to October, because it is the dry season during this period, and after October, the rainy season comes, so there are not many tourists coming here.

After all, if you are unlucky and encounter heavy rain for more than ten days, then this trip will be completely ruined.

And during the rainy season, floods often break out, causing communication and road interruptions in some areas.

Soon, Wang Yu found the only helicopter rental company in the city. The company was called Tom Brothers. Listening to the name, Wang Yu felt a strong style of Uncle Berry Country.

Call the front desk and ask them to call a taxi for help. Although the environment is a little bit poor, the service is still in place.

You can enjoy the services of a star hotel here. Soon, the front desk called to inform that the taxi was waiting outside the hotel.

Sitting in the taxi, Wang Yu looked at the streets and alleys with great interest. As the capital of Zambia, Wang Yu felt that U City was just like the county towns in China.

There are only a few high-rise buildings in the whole city, and there are concrete roads in the city center, and most of the places outside the city are loess roads.
