Chapter 1298: African continent

Chapter 1 298
An hour later, a Huaxia Airlines flight with the flag painted on the sky was vacated at the Beijing International Airport.
Xia Ruofei is on this plane. His destination is Shencheng International Airport, which is hundreds of kilometers away.
Of course, the final destination of Xia Ruofei will naturally not be Shencheng.
In fact, he only stayed in Shencheng for an hour, even the airport restricted area did not come out, and directly took the flight of China Eastern Airlines to the Bolay airport in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The final destination of Xia Ruofei’s trip is Alure, a small inland country in Africa.
However, there are no direct flights between China and many countries in Africa. It is necessary to turn to some small African countries.
The Bole Airport in Addis Ababa is one of the busiest airports in the African continent. Many employees of Huaxia travel to Africa and travel here. When they return to China, they will also come to Bole Airport. .
Xia Ruofei still booked an international flight of Hua Xia Airlines. Because this flight lasted for more than 12 hours, Xia Ruofei naturally set a ticket for the first class of luxury first class.
In fact, the so-called luxury first class is like that. The seats are more comfortable and spacious. In addition, the seats can be flattened into a bed. Of course, it is impossible to be as spacious as the bed at home. People who are slightly taller have to huddle. Sleeping.
If it is not necessary to change the face to go out of the country, such a long voyage Xia Ruofei will definitely choose a private business jet, even if it needs to be refueled on the way, the entire travel experience is certainly more comfortable than taking a civil aircraft.
Of course, Xia Ruofei is also a bitter child. He has been in the army for so many years. Nowadays, although the conditions are good, it is not enough to sit on the plane for more than ten hours. There are still so many people who are reluctant to take expensive tickets. Economy class!
When the plane took off from Shencheng, it was already in the evening. When the plane climbed to the cruising altitude and the seat belt indicator light went out, the porthole was already dark.
The flight attendants also began to leave their seats to serve the passengers.
The service on the first class side is naturally very thoughtful. The flight attendant first sent blankets, wash bags, pajamas, headphones, etc., and the first class passengers were one person.
Then came the menu first class and was able to order.
In fact, Huaxia Airlines now even supports online ordering before the trip, but Xia Ruofei does not want to be so troublesome, after all, the choice is not a lot, and the appetite of the high air people will be reduced, the taste buds will become dull, eating almost everything.
First class meals are actually relatively more advanced airplane meals.
Xia Ruofei ordered a few foods, and then asked for a glass of red wine mainly to make his sleep more comfortable.
Soon the food he wanted was up, and the plate was quite delicate, and the weight was slightly less.
Xia Ruofei had finished eating dinner after three, five, and two, and then drunk the red wine.
A flight attendant quickly came over and whispered to ask if he still had something to eat.
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "I have enough. You have to take all of this hard! Right... After the end of the collection, you will help me to level my seat. I am ready to rest."
"Okay!" said the flight attendant, and then began to pack up.
Xia Ruofei took the wash bag to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. By the way, he replaced the cotton pajamas provided by the airline.
When he returned to his seat, the flight attendant had already laid his bed and held a small quilt.
"If I didn't wake up, wake me up after seven hours." Xia Ruofei said.
"Good sir!" said the flight attendant, respectfully, "I wish you good night!"
"Thank you!"
Xia Ruofei got into the bed, put on his headphones, picked up a movie in the multimedia system and watched it. After a while, he fell asleep.
After almost seven hours, the flight attendant came over and woke up Xia Ruofei.
He blinked and sat up, and the plane was still flying smoothly at the cruising altitude.
Xia Ruofei looked at the porthole and found that it was still dark.
He got up and went to the bathroom to wash it, and put his clothes on, and when he returned to the seat, the flight attendant had restored the bed to a seat.
For the next three or four hours, Xia Ruofei was sitting on the seat with some boringness. Because Ethiopia’s time is five hours slower than China’s, so now the country is almost early in the morning, and it’s still midnight, and the porthole is dark. not see.
At about one o'clock in the morning, Huaxia Airlines' Airbus giant landed smoothly at the Bole airport in Addis Ababa.
Xia Ruofei picked up his little backpack and got off the plane.
The airport in the early morning is not very busy. The frequency of take-off and landing of the aircraft is also much lower than that during the day. There are not many people in the terminal building.
Because the flight from Bole Airport to Arule Airport is only two shifts a day, the earliest flight is around 12 noon tomorrow, so Xia Ruofei has already set a local hotel in advance and decided to take a break and come to the airport.
Therefore, in addition to handling the tourist visa of Arulei, Xia Ruofei also handled the transit visa of Ethiopia.
Of course, this is all done under the help of Zhao Yongjun, and it will be done in a short time.
When Zhao Yongjun learned that Xia Ruofei was coming to Africa, he did not ask him to come over and do a good job. He prepared for him in detail. In addition to personally helping him run the visa, there were some trivial details.
For example, Xia Ruofei learned that he needed a "International Certificate of Vaccination or Preventive Measures", which is commonly known as Xiao Huang Ben. When he turned his shoulder bag, he saw this little yellow book inside.
This is naturally what Zhao Yongjun has prepared for him.
Xia Ruofei did not go to fight any vaccine.
The environment in the African continent is relatively harsh, and there are still some stubborn diseases that cannot be eliminated. For example, malaria, even if they have these diseases, may even be life-threatening.
However, Xia Ruofei naturally does not need to have such fears. If a practitioner is still infected with the disease, it will really laugh out of the big teeth.
In accordance with "international practices," Xia Ruofei clipped a $10 bill in his passport and quickly cleared the customs.
He walked out of the airport and took a taxi directly to the hotel he booked online.
In order to facilitate the transfer, the hotel in Xia Rufei is near the airport.
Along the way, Xia Ruofei looked at the car window with some curiousness. This is the first time he has come to the mysterious African continent.
Ethiopia is a relatively poor and backward country, but Addis Ababa is the capital of Ethiopia after all. The appearance of the city looks good, at least better than the stereotype in Xia Ruofei’s mind.
There were almost no pedestrians on the street in the early morning, and the buildings on both sides of the road were shadowed in the dark. Xia Ruofei did not come to the uneasiness of the exotic country. After the fresh energy, he lazily leaned back on the seat back to raise his eyes.
The hotel is very close to the airport and it will take a while to arrive.
Xia Ruofei came to the front desk of the hotel, and a sleepy black girl received a spirit to receive him.
Xia Ruofei used English and sign language to communicate with the black girl, and finally managed to check in.
He took the room card and took a squatting elevator to the fifth floor where the room was located.
Looking at this somewhat mottled elevator, and the ruined carpet after going out, Xia Ruofei really doubts that this hotel can reach the three-star standard?
Or the three-star rating of Ethiopia and the three-star rating of China, the standards are different?
Xia Ruofei feels that for his convenience, the priority is the location, so it is a "three-star hotel". If a "five-star hotel" is set up in the city center, the psychological gap may be even greater.
After finding his room, Xia Ruofei opened the door.
He plugged in the room card at the power outlet, then turned all the lights on and looked around in the room.
This hotel is indeed a bit old, and the furnishings in the room are just a few years old.
But what makes him more satisfied is that although it looks a bit broken, at least the sanitary conditions are good, and there is no dirty mess.
Xia Ruofei then used the mental power to check the entire room.
When coming to a strange place, the first thing Xia Ruofei did was to check the surroundings.
Fortunately, there are no messy miniature cameras, monitors and the like.
Xia Ruofei threw the bag on the bed and went into the bathroom to get a shower.
In fact, according to the time of China, this time is already six or seven o'clock in the morning, and Xia Ruofei also slept on the plane for a while, so there was no drowsiness at this time.
He ordered the hotel not to sleep, mainly considering that there are nearly ten hours of waiting time. If you have been staying at the airport, it is difficult to find a hotel. It is better to find a hotel, even if you are lying down for a rest.
Xia Ruofei rushed halfway through the bathroom and suddenly the room became dark.
He subconsciously released his mental power and found that the entire hotel was dark, and he realized that it should be a blackout.
Power outages, these two words in the eyes of the Chinese people, is already a very distant vocabulary.
In addition to power company maintenance or natural disasters such as force majeure, China will basically not have any large-scale blackouts, and the days of power shortages are already far away.
The water sprayed from the shower head became very cold.
Xia Ruofei did not care, even if it was ice water, he could wash it. As for the darkness, it doesn't matter. The eyes of a high-ranking monk in a refining period are much stronger than the night vision device. At least not what the night vision device sees is black and white.
Xia Ruofei washed the bath step by step, wiped the body clean, removed the home service from the space, and went out to rest in bed.
He is very spirited now, and he can be said to have no sleep.
So he did not force himself to sleep, but took out his mobile phone and watched the news. Before he set off, he used the mobile phone number used this summer for international roaming. Although the network signal is a bit poor, it can still be used.
Xia Ruofei lay down for a few hours, and at nine o'clock in the morning, he went downstairs to prepare for something to eat.
In the hotel restaurant, Xia Ruofei asked for a toast and a cup of butter juice.
The bread tastes like a normal one, and it feels a bit roast, with a hint of burnt smell.
It is the butter juice that makes Xia Ruofei impressed and the fragrance is very rich. It should be of high purity.
He ate the breakfast without hesitation, and asked for a cup of butter juice.
After eating, Xia Ruofei returned to the upstairs room, sorted out the simple luggage, went downstairs to retreat the room, and then asked the front desk to help call a taxi.
To this end, Xia Ruofei also gave the black girl at the front desk a 50-dollar tip.
The black girl’s eyes are bright, and Xia Ruofei does not doubt that if he reveals a will, the black girl will definitely not hesitate to lean over.
To know that the local monthly salary income is equivalent to a few hundred Chinese currency, the 50 US dollars tip given by Xia Ruofei is almost the salary of the front desk attendant for half a month.
However, Xia Ruofei is not so heavy, his aesthetic is relatively more traditional, European and American blondes can accept, black sister's words ... or forget it.
Xia Ruofei took a taxi and went back to Bolai Airport.
This is the morning of local time, but it can be seen clearly outside.
Xia Ruofei found that the first impression of Ethiopia last night was based on the fact that
the beauty of the night
was born. Today, when the veil of the night fades, he discovers that even the capital of Ethiopia, the development level of Addis Ababa is relatively backward. of. The buildings outside look a bit ragged, and from the hotel to the airport, a short walk, Xia Ruofei saw several unfinished buildings.
After returning to Bole Airport, Xia Ruofei went to the counter to re-enter the formalities and entered the restricted area of ​​the airport through security screening.
The Bole Airport is actually very small, and Xia Ruofei soon found his own boarding gate.
At this time, it took more than an hour for the Ethiopian Airlines flight from him to take off. Xia Ruofei found a seat for no one to sit down and wait.
He put his hand into his shoulder bag, actually took a book out of the space and flipped it at random.
After a while, a somewhat hesitant voice rang next to him: "You are... Huaxia?"
This person is speaking Mandarin, but the tone is a bit weird. Xia Ruofei follows the sound and sees a black young man in his early twenties smiling at him.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said: "Yes, I am Chinese!"
"Hello, hello!" said the young black man enthusiastically. "I introduce myself, my name is fdaslkjaasdfadaka... well, it doesn't matter! Our African names are too long, even I sometimes can't remember. You can call me Dhaka!"
Xia Ruofei wants to laugh: "Call the card? Is this to remind yourself to go to work and don't forget to sign it?"
Daka grinned and revealed his white teeth.
He nodded and said: "In fact, this is just a syllable in my name, because it is easy to remember, so my friends call me that. Right, I have many Chinese friends, because I used to study in Beijing for three years. My Chinese was also learned at that time!"
