Chapter 488: The beautiful country

Finally, the plane landed smoothly at Los Angeles Airport.
　　 Everyone left the plane, took the shuttle bus, and entered the interior of the airport.
　　According to what Xu Qiu had learned before, the next process is roughly side-by-side inspection, baggage collection, and customs inspection, which is quite complicated.
　　 Wei Xingsi walked in front to lead the way, Xu Qiu walked in the middle, Han Jiaying and Wu Feifei followed, they both took their phones and took pictures around.
On the plane before, Xu Qiu saw the two of them taking a lot of photos. Maybe girls generally like to take pictures and check in to show up in the circle of friends. He himself is relatively indifferent to this and did not take any pictures. Anyway, some school girls do it for you. Well.
Xu Qiu looked around and found that if it weren’t for the various signs in English and the relatively high proportion of black and white races in the crowd, just look at the interior decoration of the airport. In fact, Los Angeles Airport and Magic Capital Airport are also There is not much difference.
　　 In terms of infrastructure construction, domestic first-tier cities have actually caught up with beautiful countries, which can be regarded as the effect of the policy of "let some people get rich first".
　　 The four followed the flow of people and the signs on the wall, and came to the side inspection station.
　　It is mainly the immigration officer who checks the people who come to the beautiful country to confirm the true identity of the immigrants and the true purpose of their entry.
　　Only when the immigration officer registers the date of entry on the I-94 card, and approves the stamp in the passport, and the foreigner leaves the checkpoint, it is considered to have truly entered the beautiful country.
There are two channels in the side inspection station:
　　 One is a fast passage with the nationality of a beautiful country or a green card in a beautiful country. There are relatively few people and there is not much need to queue;
　　 There is also a channel for non-beautiful nationality and non-green card holders. There are many people and long queues are required.
　　 This is not discrimination. Most countries treat their citizens preferentially.
　　 However, there are exceptions.
　　 It is said that the port of entry of the coffee country has set up two passages, one is a special passage for beautiful people, and the other is a passage for other countries and their own people.
　　 Coffee country is set up like this, not to lick the beautiful people, but to disgusting and beautiful people.
　　 Beautiful people will be checked repeatedly when they enter the coffee country.
　　 It is said that because the transit procedures of coffee countrymen were too troublesome when they entered the beautiful country, they chose "tooth for tooth".
　　 Wei Xingsi holds a beautiful country green card, so he walked through the express passage, and after agreeing with Xu Qiu to gather at the luggage carousel, they parted ways.
　　 When Xu Qiu was queuing with Wu Feifei and Han Jiaying, he recalled the story he had seen on the Internet before. A person named Zhang San shared his experience of entering a beautiful country four times:
　　 The first time I arrived in Los Angeles by plane, Zhang San quarreled with immigration officials at the immigration counter and was almost deported directly.
　　 The second time was Seattle. This time there was no noise. The immigration officials directly put Zhang Sanguan in the small dark room. One of the three officials still held a pistol, and had a three-room trial against Zhang San.
　　 For the third time, Zhang San drove into a beautiful country from Mexico. The customs officers refused to let Zhang San enter the country. They even walked out of the working hall and asked Zhang San to get out of the car, holding a pistol to open the trunk of Zhang San's car and checking them one by one.
　　 For the fourth time, Zhang San entered the country from Hawaii. This is the only time he has not been embarrassed. It may be due to the fact that Hawaii is far away from the beautiful mainland.
　　 Although Xu Qiu speculated that the experience shared by Zhang San has a high probability of artistic processing, he still doesn't know whether it is 90% artistic processing or 10% artistic processing. Therefore, his heart is still a little nervous.
　　 After waiting in line for about twenty minutes, it was finally Xu Qiu's turn.
　　The immigration officer in charge of the reception was a middle-aged white man. After seeing Xu Qiu, he said blankly: "Passport."
　　 Xu Qiu handed over the passport. The immigration officer looked at Xu Qiu while looking through the passport, and asked, "Where is the person?"
　　 Xu Qiu responded: "Flower planter."
　　The immigration officer looked at the computer screen and tapped the keyboard several times: "Where is the final destination of your trip?"
　　 Xu Qiu continued to respond: "Phoenix."
　　 The immigration officer asked again: "What are you going to do in Phoenix?"
　　 "Participate in the MRS spring meeting," Xu Qiu realized that he hadn't said as much as immigration officials, so he proactively added: "The meeting time is from April 2 to April 7, and the time to leave the beautiful country is April 8."
　　 "OK," the immigration officer tinkered with the computer for a while, and then said kindly: "Welcome to the beautiful country, I wish you a good journey."
try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){}　　 Xu Qiu politely said thank you: "Thank you."
　　 The immigration officer raised his hand to signal: "Please press your fingerprint here."
　　 Xu Qiu followed the instructions. This is somewhat similar to the process of applying for a visa to a beautiful country at the time. Fingerprints were required on both left and right hands, and the thumb and the other four fingers were pressed separately.
Pretty country is very keen on establishing a fingerprint database, and although the country has begun to increase the construction of fingerprint databases, it does not cover many people. For example, some elderly people, or people who do not have many social activities, fingerprint data are basically Not on it.
　　 After collecting the fingerprints, the immigration officer took another photo of Xu Qiu, and then returned Xu Qiu's passport to indicate that he could leave.
　　 Xu Qiu opened his passport to check while moving towards the exit.
　　 At this time, at the bottom of the beautiful country visa EVUS page, an oval stamp has been stamped with a lot of information, including:
　　 "ADMITTED", which means permission to enter the country;
　　 "LAX" refers to Los Angeles, which is the port of entry;
　　 "April 1", the time of entry;
　　 "B2", visa type;
　　 Another time is "September 29", Xu Qiu estimated that it is the latest departure date, which means that the entry validity period is 6 months.
　　 After real experience, Xu Qiu felt that the border inspection process was not as terrible as Zhang San said on the Internet.
　　 Of course, everyone has their own identity and background, and the same event occurs at different times and places, and the final result will be different.
　　 Therefore, even if what others say is different from what you experience, it does not necessarily mean that what others say is processed through a lot of art.
　　 After all, Zhang San hardened the immigration officials when he entered the country for the first time. For whatever reason, it is normal for him to be taken care of when he enters the country.
　　 When going out, it’s better to be low-key or low-key.
　　 For example, the Qiongdao Sea Urchin Steamed Egg Incident: "Don't make trouble, or it's not easy to leave."
　　 Xu Qiu left the border inspection and went to the baggage carousel corresponding to the flight. He quickly saw Wei Xingsi, who seemed to have just hung up the phone.
　　 Wei Xingsi took the initiative to say hello: "Is it going well?"
　　 Xu Qiu said: "Fortunately, the immigration officer asked me a few basic questions, and then let me come, Han Jiaying and Wu Feifei are still behind."
　　 "Okay," Wei Xingsi nodded, "The luggage comes out slowly, just waiting for them."
　　 The baggage carousel seems to have just started up, and now there are not many luggages on it. There is a slot on the side, which is constantly transferring luggage on the conveyor belt, and one piece comes out in a few seconds.
Xu Qiu roughly calculated that there were hundreds of passengers on this flight, corresponding to hundreds of pieces of luggage. If you count 300 pieces of luggage and each piece takes 5 seconds, all the luggage must be transferred to the conveyor belt. , It takes 1500 seconds, which is 25 minutes.
　　 The actual time may be longer than this, because the average speed of baggage delivery is visually slower than 5 seconds/piece, but there is no other way but to wait.
　　Moreover, the most important thing is that there are not too many chairs on the baggage carousel at the airport. Most people can only gather around the baggage carousel, eager to see through.
　　 Their mood is probably between "Expectation: Is the next piece of luggage their own?" and "Lost: hey, this piece of luggage is not their own".
　　 Not long after, Han Jiaying and Wu Feifei also came to the baggage carousel one after another to gather with Xu Qiu and Wei Xingsi.
　　 The luck of the four people, or their performance, was relatively good. They all entered the country smoothly. They were not checked twice by immigration officials, that is, they were detained and questioned in a small black room like Zhang San.
　　 At this time, Han Jiaying suddenly leaned over to Xu Qiu and said, "Brother, I want WIFI."
　　 "Is this in a hurry to post to Moments." Xu Qiu spit out casually, took out the portable WIFI from his backpack, turned on the power, and then connected to the network according to the link name and password on the back shell of the portable WIFI.
　　 As soon as he connected to the Internet, Xu Qiu received a message from the WeChat group. It was sent by Mo Wenlin and the others, saying: "Speak to them when you arrive."
　　 Xu Qiu sent a "squeak" in the group, and he found that the internet speed was quite fast, and there was not much delay.
　　 Next, Feifei Wu and Jiaying Han sent photos they took on the road.
　　 However, I did not receive too many responses, only Mo Wenlin returned a "wow" emoticon package.
　　 Maybe because the domestic time is April 2nd, Saturday, more than 8 o'clock in the morning, so most people may not get up yet.
try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){}　　 After getting his own network connection, Xu Qiu turned around and said, "Ms. Wei, do you want to use WIFI?"
　　 Wei Xingsi waved his hand: "I don't need it, I have a calling card from the beautiful country."
　　 About half an hour later, Xu Qiu and the others finally got their luggage.
　　 The large number of people in the group is not good. Everyone must get their luggage before they can leave together. Otherwise, the problem will be more serious if they get separated in a foreign country.
　　 Next stop, Customs, here is a bit similar to airplane security check.
　　 is mainly to check whether there are any prohibited items such as meat and seeds in the luggage, and whether there are too many banknotes that have not been filed and so on.
　　 Wei Xingsi, Han Jiaying, and Wu Feifei are still going well, and none of them have been spotted.
　　 Only Xu Qiu was "luckily" stopped by customs officers, saying that there were suspicious items in the luggage.
　　 Unpacking and checking, the customs officer took the eight-treasure porridge inside and asked, "What is this?"
　　 "This is the eight-treasure porridge Balabala... cooked Balabala..." After Xu Qiu explained, the customs officers did not confiscated it and let it go.
　　 Xu Qiu packed up his luggage and exchanged foreign exchange with Wei Xingsi and the others.
　　 The four of them left the airport directly without taking a few steps.
　　 Wu Feifei asked in a low voice, "Why didn't I see the duty-free shop? Didn't it mean that the duty-free shop at Los Angeles Airport is very big?"
After hearing this, Wei Xingsi explained: "Generally, there is no duty-free shop when entering the country, but only when leaving the country. When we return to China, we can arrive at the Los Angeles Airport earlier. If you want to buy something, you can go shopping. "
After a while, Wei Xingsi’s phone rang. After he answered, he said a few words, then hung up the phone, and then explained:
I just contacted the taxi company, and taxis here usually need to be booked in advance. Although there are also Uber, which is similar to domestic online car-hailing, but I don’t generally use it."
　　 arrived at the place agreed with the driver, and after waiting for a few minutes on the spot, a yellow-skinned taxi with a sense of age, which is often seen in Chinese film and television dramas and games, stopped in front of Xu Qiu and the others.
　　 The driver is a black brother who speaks with a clear accent: "Is it the car you called?"
　　 After getting the affirmative reply from Wei Xingsi, the black brother was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to get out of the car, trying to help carry the luggage.
　　 Upon seeing this, Wei Xingsi waved his hand: "No, let's do it ourselves."
　　 The black brother seemed a little disappointed. After opening the trunk, he went straight back to the driving position.
　　 The driving position of Meiliguo Motors is on the left side of the car, which is the same as that of the Changhuajia mainland area. They are all left-handed cars and drive on the right side of the road.
　　Actually, most countries in the world have car steering wheels on the left, and only a few countries or regions such as Great Britain, Hong Kong City, Australia City, British colonies, and neon countries have car steering wheels on the right.
　　 After everyone put their luggage, Wei Xingsi sat in the co-driver~EbookFREE.me~Xu Qiu and the three sat in the back row.
　　 The black brother and Wei Xingsi confirmed the destination and started to depart.
　　 On the way, the black brother and Wei Xingsi started talking, and they asked and answered each other.
　　 "Where do you come from?"
　　 "Growers."
　　 "Good English, first time in Los Angeles?"
　　 "I come here often, I have a beautiful country green card."
　　 "Oh... Is this taking the kids out for a trip?"
　　 "Children?" Wei Xingsi gave a dry smile: "No, they are my students..."
After 　　, the black brother stopped talking to Wei Xingsi, humming an unknown song in his mouth, resting one hand on the car window and holding the steering wheel with the other, and the speed was quite fast.
　　 Xu Qiu guessed blindly, this little black brother is probably trying to test whether they are familiar with Los Angeles. If they are not familiar, they will probably take a detour.
　　 Now it seems that most people can't kill customers, so I don't bother to chat.
　　 The hotel is not far from the airport, about four miles or seven kilometers.
　　 Xu Qiu checked on the Internet. The starting price of a Los Angeles taxi is generally about 0.11 mile 2.85 US dollars, and then the charging standard is about 2.7 US dollars per mile; if you take a taxi from the airport, the starting price is 15 US dollars, and the tip is extra, usually more than 10%.
　　 A few minutes later, the taxi stopped near the hotel.
　　 Xu Qiu saw that the meter's indication was finally fixed at US$26.8. If you ignore the units that follow, the price is similar to that of a taxi in Magic City, but after calculating the exchange rate, it is much more expensive.
