Chapter 180, Amsterdam
[Discover a new region (Netherlands), reward of 300,000 yuan, reward of Dutch]
Dutch is a bit like German…
Walking in the passage leaving the airport, Ye Kai subconsciously thought.
Perhaps it is because both of them evolved from the Germanic language system, some of which are pronounced similarly, a bit like the Chinese dialect. Because the Netherlands belongs to a unique country, I specially sent Dutch to Ye Kai.
When traveling to any country, language is very important.
This is the main bridge for exchanges between the two sides and the most distinctive sign that distinguishes "outsiders" and "locals". Even if the skin color is different, but the main languages are the same, it will make you much more convenient in another country.
Ye Kai booked a hotel on the Internet near the Van Gogh Museum. After leaving the airport, the two found a car and headed towards the city without stopping.
Unlike ordinary countries, there are so many lanes to exit the airport in the Netherlands.
In addition to the passage of several cars, there seems to be a dedicated bicycle road. When Ye Kai checked the Dutch information on the Internet, he saw them saying that this was a bicycle kingdom.
Ye Kai was thinking, does a family have a bicycle here?
Seeing the road specially built for bicycles, Ye Kaisan felt that the country attaches great importance to bicycles. No wonder greening is done so well, and it is also important to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Saoirsa opened the window and admired the scenery outside the car and said, "The roofs of these houses are so sharp, it's so interesting."
"This is called a gable building."
He now knows the architecture quite well, so he introduced to Saoirsa: "The characteristics of this kind of building are high in the middle and low in both ends, because it is like a mountain, so he called it a gable wall."
This kind of building can usually be seen in areas with a lot of snow. Because after the snow is heavy, if a flat-topped house is easily crushed by snow, such a spire appears, which makes the snow slide down.
I guess I don’t have much time to leave the city after finding the hotel today, so today’s arrangement is to take a look at the Van Gogh Museum near the hotel, and then eat and sleep.
The freshness of the first arrival in a foreign country made Saoirsa feel overjoyed, and her big eyes looking out of the car were full of curiosity.
Ye Kai also paid attention to the scenery outside the car.
There are many rivers in the city of Dutch, like many zigzags surrounding the entire Amsterdam, making the city look like it is built in water, with a bit of the impression of Venice.
The flower boat that swift across the river attracted Ye Kai's sight, but the car drove past the ship soon.
Ye Kai asked to the driving elder brother: "I just saw a boat with many flowers on it. What kind of boat is that?"
"Oh, that's the characteristic of the water flower market, Amsterdam. Young man, are you here to travel?"
"Yes, I heard that the flowers here are beautiful."
"Of course, but you came a few days late. A float parade was held a week ago. There were many tourists at that time, but now there are fewer." The driver shook his head, as if he was regretting that the passenger capacity was not as high as before.
The hotel Ye Kai booked is on the street of Baerla, called Amsterdam Greenhouse Hotel, which used to be a music school. It has now been converted into a five-star hotel with a high rating.
After getting off the bus, the two saw such an artistic building.
The Amsterdam Greenhouse Hotel is divided into two buildings, and the one on the left is still a gable wall building. But what makes the hotel full of design is the 30-meter-high glass curtain wall on the front.
Saoirsa looked at Ye Kai with a confused look: "Do we live here?"
"certainly."
He walked across the road with Saoirsa's hand and headed to the hotel opposite which looked very expensive. There was no smell of gasoline on the crosswalk, but an indescribable smell of flowers.
These months of flowering season have caused the whole of Amsterdam to be infected with the smell of flowers.
In fact, there is also an indescribable smell on the streets of Paris. They will sprinkle perfume on every corner of Paris in the morning. Perhaps this is why Paris perfume is famous all over the world?
There is a long row of gardens in front of the hotel.
There is a corridor about two or three meters between the garden and the hotel, with several tables placed scattered, and some guests living in the hotel dine on these tables.
When I saw a handsome man and beautiful woman walking into the hotel, a sister in her thirties who was closest to Ye Kai greeted the two with a smile and asked, "It seems that you just arrived in Amsterdam? Are you going to have a meal together?"
Saoirsa licked her lips.
"Why don't we eat first?" she suggested.
“…”
Didn’t you go to the hotel to put your luggage first?
"Go and put things first."
Ye Kai replied to the foreign sister who invited them to have a meal and said, "Thank you, but let's deal with the living issue first."
"That's a pity."
“There is definitely a chance.”
After checking in, he was about to take the elevator to the floor where he lived, but Ye Kai saw the corridor emitting a mysterious blue light, so he pulled Saoirsa to the corridor.
Walking through the corner, a quiet swimming pool is hidden under the hotel corridor.
Or the swimming pool is located on the first floor of the minus. Walking up from this corridor is the hotel house, and walking down is the beautiful swimming pool.
That's right, it's beautiful.
The ground is less than three meters away from the wall above, and five off-white swimming pool chairs are quietly placed in the small and exquisite ground. What surprised Ye Kai was the swimming pool.
The swimming pool is not wide, but it is very long. It is visually estimated to be about forty meters away and has a width of six or seven meters.
There are no ceramic tiles around the edge of the swimming pool about twenty centimeters from the water surface, but thick glass. There are blue light tubes inside, which illuminate the entire swimming pool, whether on land or in water, into a charming blue.
I don’t know what the principle is, but they used these blue light tubes to turn this place into an alien color.
"Come down to swim later?" Ye Kai asked.
Saoirsa said, "Aren't you going to visit the museum? I just saw it in the car. There are many museums here."
"Well, there are indeed many museums in the Netherlands. You can't go and see them all, right? It's enough for a few days."
"I'm hungry."
When he first arrived in a strange environment, Saoirsa was very well-behaved.
Well, no matter what, eating is the most important thing.
Walking around the corridor, you will see a huge glass wall that opens the door of the room. The room is wide and there are tables and sofas in a simple manner. Since it is a glass wall, there must be curtains, which are gray and heavy to the touch.
There are beautiful oil paintings on the walls, and the overall design is more inclined to Ye Kai. If it is his own house, he would want to make it into this style.
