116 Foreign Competition 1
Earth,
March 20, local time in England is the 3rd English G International Youth Piano Competition Day.
On March 15, Mo Mo, Wu Ming, Lu Lei and other three got a visa to go to the UK G and exchanged for foreign exchange.
On March 16, the three of them booked a flight to London, with a total price of 6,480 yuan per person, or economy class.
Greentown does not have direct flights to London, and can only depart from the Imperial Capital or Haicheng International Airport. The three of them took a plane from Greentown Wuxu Airport to the Imperial Capital International Airport, and stayed in the Imperial Capital for a long time, which took more than ten hours.
The Imperial Capital International Airport is northeast, dozens of kilometers away from home in Wanliu Community. Mo Mo did not plan to travel back and forth, but planned to check in at the airport hotel.
Mo Mo's parents knew that their son was going abroad, so they went directly to the airport to visit their son.
At one o'clock the next afternoon, at the T3 hall of the Imperial Capital International Airport, three people who were going abroad were preparing to go through security checks.
"Son, pay attention to safety when you are abroad. You can't speak foreign languages. If you have any urgent matters, remember to find the embassy of the country." Ning Lanxin repeatedly reminded her that she had checked a lot of knowledge to pay attention to when going abroad at home, but she was still worried about her son's safety, especially because he couldn't speak, so only his teacher could barely speak some.
"Mom, don't worry, I have been learning English for several months. Your son is a genius, and communication is no problem now." Mo Mo has dealt with foreign supervisors a lot in his previous life, especially when dealing with on-site technical issues, so he can communicate normally.
He has never been to Europe, and he only went abroad on business trips in Africa. It is a bit funny to say that he has been abroad.
But what's more funny is that in Guizhou Province, some people took photos at the border with Vietnam based on details, which can be considered as going abroad. In fact, there is nothing to show off when going abroad.
"Just bragging, what can you learn by yourself? Like what you say, your mother can speak English and speak." Ning Lanxin smiled and turned to Lu Lei, "Teacher Lu, my son will ask you."
"Sister Ning, you are too polite, that's what I should do." Lu Lei smiled slightly. She has made a lot of preparations for going abroad during this period. She also has experience going abroad, so she doesn't have to worry about anything, just because she is afraid that the two brothers will run around inexplicably. She asked for leave from the school. She originally had very few courses, so she brought a few high school students.
"Not sure, please be optimistic about your brother, don't let him run around!" Mo Yao watched his wife explain to his son constantly. Even though his son has changed a lot in the past few months and has become much sensible, in fact, he was not very relieved to his son go abroad, so he said solemnly to Nottim on the side.
He smiled inexplicably, and his right hand tower was on Mo Mo's shoulder and said to Mo Yao: "Uncle, don't worry, this guy is very smart." He himself was depressed, why no one was worried about him? He should be the most worried about him. He doesn't know how to speak English, and it will be a waste if he leaves.
I was inexplicably worried that I would be sold to Africa after I left. If I were sold to Fenghualou, I would be fine, and I could still taste the taste of foreign girls. I don’t know if it’s salty or a talk.
I was inexplicably thinking about it. His cousin taught his friends who were in the food, drink and play club in English. He spoke very well and often watched English cartoons. He should have no problem communicating.
The few chatted for a while, and it seemed that the time was almost half past the afternoon, so Mo Mo and the other two went through security check.
The imperial capital took off from the imperial capital at 2:30 pm on March 17, and at 6 pm on the 17th (local time, 8 hours late with the imperial capital, the following local time) arrived at London Heathrow Airport. The actual arrival was at 1:00 am on March 18, the imperial capital time.
It took 11 hours to take a long flight. The three of them were so tired that they ate some food first, then found a hotel to check in and found a jet lag. The hotel they stayed in was also very average, but the cost was quite a lot, and a room cost 200 pounds a night.
In 2008, each person could bring up to 8,000 pounds to travel abroad when he went to the UK. Mo Mo asked someone to help him exchange 20,000 pounds. If it was really not enough, he could only go to the international branches of the domestic bank to withdraw cash with UnionPay cards. However, there were too few UnionPay outlets, so it was difficult to find. However, each person had 6,000 pounds, saving some was enough.
When they woke up the next morning, the three of them went to a restaurant outside the hotel for breakfast.
The three of them can also accept London's food culture, and they eat milk and bread in the morning. I just heard that during lunch, most locals eat sandwiches.
"The breakfast is pretty good, but fortunately it's not Ah San's curry rice, so I have to grab it with my hands." After somehow, I wiped my mouth with my mouth and sighed a little, "But the snail noodles at home are still delicious."
People coming and going around have golden hair and white skin, and black hair and yellow skin are rarely seen, unless they go to Chinatown.
He didn't know how to speak English for no reason. Yesterday he finally saw two yellow-skinned young men, waved with interest, and greeted him in Chinese, "Hello, compatriots." As a result, the two were stunned, replied "Nani" and left. That would make Mo Mo and Lu Lei laugh, it was obviously an islander.
"There should be many Chinese restaurants in London, but they are just not easy to find." Lu Lei smiled and said, "She has been to London for a tour, which happened many years ago. She took out the map and looked at the itinerary, "We go to Newcastle and pass by Cambridge. I can take you to Cambridge University to take photos."
The 3rd English G International Youth Piano Competition is located in Newcastle, 450 kilometers from London, and Cambridge is on the north side of London.
The University of Cambridge is located in Cambridge, about 100 kilometers away from London, and it takes more than an hour to take a bus.
After the three of them finished their breakfast, each of them set off with a large travel bag on their backs.
At 10:30 in the morning, the three men transferred three times before they arrived at Cambridge University and took photos in Kanghe as a souvenir.
The three of them only walked around for half an hour and felt that it was meaningless, so they took the train to set off for Newcastle.
"There is nothing good to look at Cambridge, it's not as good as my brother's big villa in Shenzhen Stock Exchange."
Lu Lei turned to inexplicably and said contemptuously: "Vulgarity, the humanistic atmosphere mentioned in Cambridge has a strong historical heritage. The villa has a money atmosphere. Can it be the same?"
He curled his lips inexplicably and said without hesitation: "Why are they different? They are all piled up with money!"
On the train, the three of them chatted endlessly, and were in great interest.
At five o'clock that afternoon, the three of them arrived in Newcastle and found a hotel to check in.
Newcastle has a population of about 500,000, and Momo has the impression of Newcastle University and Newcastle football team.
At this time, the Premier League schedule has been held until the 31st round, tomorrow is March 19th, and there is still one day before the piano game. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Newcastle happened to play Manchester United at home.
Mo Mo and Wu Ming are half football fans. When they meet a game, they don’t want to miss it. Lu Lei doesn’t like watching football games, but she is worried about the two of them, so she has to accompany them.
Currently, the 30 rounds are close to the end of 38 rounds. Manchester United temporarily ranks first in the league, and Newcastle is sixth. Newcastle is only 4 points away from fourth place. In order to compete for the Champions League place, they will do their best.
The three of them bought tickets for football matches when they were very good. Generally, it was difficult to fill the whole game in the regular season. The game began shortly after the three of them entered the game.
"Brother, isn't that Rooney?" said inexplicably. When he saw Manchester United's second striker and the No. 10 jersey, he recognized it.
The sound at the scene was too noisy, so I had to yell in my cousin's ear.
"Well, it seems to be!" Mo Mo didn't know much about the stars of this era. When he saw the people around him cheering, he also shouted and shouted.
They were in the military seat area, and they shouted when they saw the exciting part of the game, but no one else could care about it. Even Lu Lei couldn't understand the game. When they saw the heat on the scene, their emotions were fluctuated. They shouted randomly, as if they were confused.
"It would be great if I could get Rooney's signature photo!" said inexplicably yearning, but that was just a fantasy.
Mo Mo said casually: "One day, there will be a chance!"
The final result of the game was tied 2-2, and the three cheered for an hour or two. The game was not very good, but I just felt that I was shouting and my voice was a little hoarse.
The three left the stadium, had supper, and returned to the hotel, and didn't care about tomorrow's game.
Mo Mo is confident that winning awards in the competition is not the main purpose, but how to become famous and gain more reputation.
Since he is going to be famous, he wants to change his strategy during the competition.
