travel starts with photography

Chapter 137 You Are Already a Mature Travel System

In addition to Paris, there is another place in France known by many people, called Provence, and the name of his region is Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.

Chen Xing first knew about this place because of lavender. Isn’t it often said on the Internet that the hometown of French lavender is this place.

The place names of the French are as simple and crude as the names they give to Western food. Just put together the names of the three most proud provinces in this region, and almost all the popular attractions in Southern France are also in these three places.

Also because of the popularity of these three places, almost all people who come to France choose to go south after visiting Paris.

The place Chen Xing is going to is not Provence, after all, this is not the season when lavender blooms.

He is going to the Alps, where this year's Winter Photography Festival is being held. There are many photography works sent by photographers from all over the world. It is a photography event in France second only to the Arles Photography Festival.

The Alps are actually very famous.

But what is famous is not this area, but a candy brand, but this company was not founded by the French, but by the Italians. The Alps is a large mountain range that spans many countries in Europe. The French do not have the copyright here .

Chen Xing's train departed from Paris at 7.50 and headed for Nice in Alpes-Maritimes.

There are a lot of people on the train, a large part of them are going to Nice, and the proportion of tourists is very large.Because Nice is not only the fifth most populous city in France, but also the second tourist city in France after Paris.

It was a bit cold in the morning in Paris at the end of November, and there was still a smell of urine in Gare de Lyon, I don't know where it came from.

Enduring the smell, he got into the car. As soon as he sat down, he saw two policemen passing a thief by the car. This made Chen Xing lament once again that the law and order in Paris was really bad... Although he had never encountered it himself, he was patient. Can't stop hearing, or seeing things like this all day long.

The person in front of Chen Xing also sighed, "The thieves in Paris go to work really early."

This person looks about 27 or [-], and his appearance is probably the favorite of young literary and artistic women who come to Paris. It is the appearance of many romantic movie heroes related to Paris.

Chen Xing said: "After all, it's New Year's Eve, I want to have a good year."

"That's right, Christmas is coming soon, you speak French so well, I thought you were a tourist, hello, my name is Gerald."

"My name is Chen Xing."

Just after introducing herself, another lady walked over with a small bag in one hand and a cup of hot coffee in the other, and sat on the seat next to Gerald.

After sitting down, he shook his long golden slightly curly hair.

She was wearing a tight-fitting sweater and a fur top, both of which were short, revealing her waist. She looked slim but powerful, and her lower body was also fitted with a pair of tight-fitting light-colored jeans. Her round buttocks made many people in the carriage turn towards this side Look over here.

You even brought coffee in?

What a mistake, I should have bought a cup myself.

Woke up so early this morning, Chen Xing is still a little drowsy.

The train station in Paris does not need to check tickets, so even if Chen Xing is carrying a travel bag and a suitcase, he can still walk in elegantly with a cup of coffee in one hand... Maybe this is French elegance.

At this time, the staff at the station came over slowly and began to check the tickets. The movement was very slow, and it seemed that she was carefully reading the information on the ticket. It took a long time to read each one, but in fact the ticket did not have much information worth paying attention to. .

As soon as the car started, Chen Xing's eyes froze a little.

【The city is very old, we are very young】

【If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris when you were young, then she will be with you wherever you go in your life, because Paris is a moving feast】

[Congratulations on your talent: writing]

[Many times we can see these world-famous scenic spots from books, TV, and movies, but we don’t know what they will look like in real life. Every trip abroad will let you learn more about the world and get closer to the world. An eye-opener—a series of long-distance travel missions starts, and every city you set foot in will give you certain rewards]

[You visited Paris and got 20000 yuan in cash, which will be transferred to the traveler's bank account later, please pay attention to check]

What the hell!

Chen Xing's long-awaited thing has come true!

He complained about the system when he first got it and before he started traveling, why can't he go to a place and give himself a sum of money?

Can it be called a travel system without such a setting?

After all, he is just a photographer. To make money, you need to be qualified. Unlike writers, celebrities, etc., if you suddenly release a blockbuster, you can become popular all over the country, and you can make money.

2 yuan for a city is not a lot, but it is enough to live in any part of the world for several days.

For example, in Paris, [-] Chinese dollars can be exchanged for [-] euros, and Chen Xing's daily accommodation fee is only [-], which is quite enough.

In addition, it's not like Chen Xing can't earn a penny, so he won't be as frugal as he is in Paris this time when traveling in the future. What kind of travel souvenirs, high-end dessert shops, French restaurants, etc. If I didn't go, I was afraid that the budget would be exceeded.

After watching this reward, Chen Xing leaned back on the seat and let out a long sigh of relief.

He was still thinking that he had visited so many attractions in Paris, so why didn't a system reward pop up after so many days, so they were all waiting for him here.

However, the literary talent of the system is quite good, and Chen Xing likes what he said.

Paris is a moving feast...

[This sentence comes from Hemingway]

This sentence from the system popped up suddenly, it was just a simple introduction, but Chen Xing inexplicably felt that the system was despising him.

There are so many books in the world, how could I have read them all!
Chen Xing was quite aggrieved.

However, when he thought of the abundance of rewards this time, his grievance disappeared immediately, and he quickly took out the notebook from the backpack, placed it on the table in front of him, and opened the document.

He is going to write a travelogue.

In fact, it's not a travelogue, it's still the manuscript sent to Huaxia National Geographic. Editor Kang urged Chen Xing several times, but he only wrote half of it in such a long time.

It's hard, it's really hard to write!
Now that you have the writing skills, look at what you have written.

I wrote this rubbish?
Chen Xing was still shocked.

In fact, this writing skill is not as amazing as Chen Xing thought. It's not that after acquiring this skill, Chen Xing will write well and write books that will be 100% a hit, it's not like that.

The system is to connect the books that Chen Xing has read before, and I don't know what method is used to connect them with writing.

As soon as Chen Xing wanted to write something, Chen Xing would remember a lot of related content. He remembered how someone described this environment, and what he was thinking when he wrote this text.

By the way, it also strengthened Chen Xing's writing ability, organizational ability and so on.

Therefore, writing actually requires a little talent.

Not everyone reads thousands of volumes and writes like a god.

Seeing Chen Xing take out his notebook and start writing, Gerald asked curiously, "What are you doing? Are you working?"

He could tell from Chen Xing's constant typing on the keyboard that Chen Xing was not watching movies or playing games or other entertainment, other than that, the first thing he thought of was work.

"No, I'm writing a travelogue."

"Travel notes? Are you a traveler?"

Chen Xing thought for a while and said, "I'm just a student."

"Student, my God, you are so young!"

He couldn't tell Chen Xing's age from Chen Xing's appearance, but he felt that Chen Xing's temperament was not like those students he had seen before, so he asked, "Then you are studying in Paris?"

"Yes."

So, the two began to chat about the security issues in Paris.

The girl looked at Chen Xing with interest.

Gerald must be handsome in the eyes of Westerners. Many love movies like to invite a man with his appearance to star in him, but in the eyes of the same white people, Chen Xing is obviously more charming than Gerald .

It's like there are two handsome guys in Huaxia who are chatting in Chinese, and the most eye-catching one must be the foreigner who speaks Chinese.

"Excuse me, what are you talking about?"

From this accent, Chen Xing knew she was British.

Since he was reminded by Teacher Zhang at Huaping Girls High School, he has searched for the differences between the accents of several English-speaking countries on Station B. Generally speaking, the British accent is the best, compared to the American accent, which is like a regional dialect. .

If it weren't for the great influence of the United States in the world today, people would definitely be despised if they went to the UK with an American accent.

Gerald said quickly in English:

"We are talking about security in Paris. Every time I travel to Paris on business, I will discover the lower limit of Paris. I heard that the thieves caught from the car before were still blatantly stealing things."

The girl smiled and said, "Maybe the person who was stolen looked too much like a tourist."

Like many tourist cities, local thieves are most interested in tourists. Due to inconvenient communication, tourists seldom call the police successfully. In addition, when foreigners come to Paris, they often choose more things than less things.

Then she asked Chen Xing: "Which country are you from? Can you speak English?"

"Huaxia." Chen Xing replied.

"Wow, Huaxia people, I just saw the clip of your military parade this year on Youtube yesterday. Huaxia's soldiers are so handsome!"

Huh?Sounds like an Englishman who has a crush on China?

Gerald also wanted to chat more with this elegant girl, and asked her name and nationality, but his age was never revealed.

The name translates nicely, it's called Sharonia, and as Chen Xing expected, she's an Englishman.

But Saronia is more interested in Chen Xing. Seeing that Chen Xing doesn't like to talk, she uses topics to draw Chen Xing in from time to time, which makes the chatting environment of several people not cold, but after two hours, the topics will be discussed. There is no match.

It takes six hours to travel from Paris to Nice by train, and it is impossible for anyone to chat for six hours all the time.

Chen Xing wrote while chatting, thinking about the scenery he encountered in Chunmanzhai at that time in his mind, and quickly wrote this short travel note. After writing, Chen Xing felt refreshed both physically and mentally.

It was finally written by me.

Before, Editor Kang kept urging, he thought Chen Xing was delaying the draft.

But in fact, Chen Xing has worked very hard, but if he can't write it, he really can't write it. He writes essays well, but he can't finish his travel notes in the way junior high school students write essays, right?
He did.

But I was so disgusted that I deleted it.

Huaxia National Geographic is a magazine facing the whole country. If I write it like this, it would be better not to be published.

Seeing a cup of coffee next to it, Chen Xing picked it up subconsciously, but soon realized that it was not his own, but the table was a bit small, so Sharonia's coffee was placed next to Chen Xing's computer.

The main reason is that I am used to drinking a cup of coffee when I have nothing to do in France these days, and I am used to it.

Fortunately, I didn't start drinking, I just took it.

Salonia looked at Chen Xing with her beautiful eyes, and Chen Xing said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm used to it."

"It doesn't matter, are you a writer?"

Before Chen Xing and Gerald talked about this matter, they used French, and then they used English to talk about the knowledge of different countries. For example, Chen Xing talked about what China is like, Gerald talked about France, and Salo Nia speaks English.

"No, this is a travelogue for a magazine in our country."

"Travel notes? Are you a photographer?"

Sharonia quickly realized that she went to Nice this time to participate in the Winter Photography Festival. When she saw a man writing a travel note, she would naturally think it was a photographer.

"Yes."

Gerald hummed suspiciously and asked, "Aren't you a student?"

"That's right, I studied photography."

On the surface, Chen Xing is very calm, handsome, pretending to be an expert, but in his heart he is very happy... Finally, he can speak out what he studied naturally. Before when asked by others, Chen Xing dared not say that he studied hotel management.

As a vocational student, you have the opportunity to be assigned a job by the school after graduation.

Some of the seniors in his major went to some local hotels in Sweet City... as waiters.

Although you are studying hotel management, do you really want to be a manager?

wake up.

However, just because he has learned a lot of relevant knowledge in the past three years, Chen Xing is very familiar with various aspects of the hotel, as well as the hygiene situation, and Chen Xing can tell if he is not clean by doing a simple inspection.

"Then are you going to participate in the Winter Photography Festival?" Sharonia asked.

"You too?"

Saronia flicked her long hair, nodded and said, "That's right, but I just visited as a tourist. You are studying photography. Do you have any works on display?"

"I didn't know about this festival until I came to Paris. It's already past the registration time."

The theme of the Winter Photography Festival is snow scenes. Chen Xing has a very suitable work, but it is indeed too late. This time, I mainly go to see how other people take pictures, and then take a look at the city of Nice. visited.

Now it seems that even if there is nothing, there are at least [-] Huaxia coins.

Saronia saw Chen Xing say this in a tone that I would definitely be able to exhibit if I signed up, and I was also touched by his self-confidence. I thought that not all men in Huaxia are nerds, which is also very interesting human.
