Cycling to Thirteen European Countries (28) Buying a Watch in Old Gaul Cerne
#出老狠向新的开奖活动#
All the articles are exciting, but this one is the most exciting.
I am a retired senior engineer from the Zhengzhou Railway Bureau Research Institute. In June 2013, I was 66 years old and Gao Yuting was 69 years old. Two elderly men in their late seventies spent three months traveling independently in Europe. This is the first time for a Chinese citizen to travel across Europe as a couch surfer.
Our cycling experience is now published in a serial format. It truly records what we saw and heard, without any adulteration, and tries its best to include both pictures and text.
The serialized article may be very long and is expected to reach more than 100 episodes. Thank you all for sharing my happiness, please criticize and correct me.
Touring Thirteen European Countries (28)
Lucerne’s specialties are Swiss watches, high-end jewelry, chocolates, military knives, hand-crafted lace and embroidery. There are many watch shops, jewelry stores and watch brand stores in the square and surrounding areas. It is ranked as the two largest watch and jewelry shopping malls in Europe along with Place Vend?me in Paris. Lao Gao has plans to purchase watches this time in Switzerland. We arrived at the square early in the morning. Because there are swans next to the lake, I call it Swan Square. It was still early and the surrounding shops were not open yet.
It was raining lightly and we took a walk by the lake and took pictures. There are many swans playing freely in the lake. Among them are precious black swans. When I was feeding the swan with bread in my hand, the swan raised its neck high, and Lao Gao lost no time in taking this precious shot. In the past, the photography team of the Riding Association organized everyone to go to the Sanmenxia Yellow River Wetland to shoot swans. I didn’t have a long focal length lens, so I never went. This was my first time getting up close to a swan.
Lake Lucerne is close to the city center. There is a telescope by the lake through which you can see the distant view of the Alps.
Although Lucerne is a small city, its architectural styles are different, including obvious European style, but also spires, garden roofs, towers and other shapes. There are no high-rise buildings in Lucerne, usually three or four stories, with the highest being no more than six stories. The most important thing is that no matter what style these buildings are, they have a sense of beauty. Decades or hundreds of years later, people cannot bear to dismantle it and abandon it. I didn't see the so-called slogan of "a century-old plan, quality first", but their casual construction turned out to be a hundred or two hundred years old. So when I traveled around Europe, I didn't see a single word "demolition".
Europe is a place where philosophers are born in large numbers. Don’t they understand the simple truth that “you can’t build without breaking, you can’t build without breaking. Only by smashing an old world can you build a new world”?
Watch shops are opening one after another. We learned that more than 40% of Swiss watches in the Lucerne market are bought by Chinese tourists. Therefore, almost all watch stores have Chinese services, and some stores have all Chinese salespeople. You see, there is only one English letter on the door of this store, OPEN, but its Chinese prompt is: brand products are high-priced, and Chinese services are provided enthusiastically. Another store’s watch description must not forget the Chinese logo: “fully automatic mechanical watch.”
There is also a watch store with an even more charming slogan on its advertising brochure: "Can you be compared to the radiance of summer!"
Here we meet two groups of Chinese The tourists, one group appearing to be a mother and daughter, asked the salesperson for information on the watches.
The other group is a man bringing several friends or family members. I think, isn’t this situation a true reflection of the Chinese people’s purchasing power and a proud image of the Chinese people? I took the camera and took several shots in a row. Unexpectedly, this middle-aged man was extremely dissatisfied and scolded me loudly: "What kind of photo did you take!" Then he said again that we are not civil servants and we are not on a business trip. I violated people's privacy, so I could only apologize to them quickly: "I'm sorry, we are also here for a trip, but we just took pictures for fun. If you mind, I can delete this photo." His answer was unquestionable: " Delete it, delete it!"
Later I thought, this guy has money in his pocket, but why is he so weak? Could it be that he has a guilty conscience?
Hehe, don’t think about him. Because it’s time for our old Gao to make his debut. Lao Gao worked as a train driver before retiring, and his salary was not high. He traveled to Europe this time because his son went to sea to earn some money. Before going abroad, I wanted to buy some watches in Switzerland. Today we finally arrived at the world-famous watch and jewelry shopping mall in Lucerne, Switzerland. Two salesmen from China served Lao Gao attentively and responsively, and the tall Northeastern waiter was even more eloquent. Lao Gao bought nine watches in one go, including watches for himself, his wife, his eldest son, his second son, his daughter-in-law, his grandson, and his granddaughter. In short, it's just one person and one small desk clock. The total cost was 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. I was short of money and did not contribute to the Swiss people. I did not even buy a multifunctional knife. I am really sorry.
I also bought a watch and transferred to Lucerne. Today we plan to go to Lake Zug, another scenic spot in Switzerland. Our original plan was that our next stop would be Bern, the capital of Switzerland, then Lausanne, then Geneva, and from Geneva through the Alps to Italy.
After taking a flight from Germany, I had to cancel my plan to ride to Geneva by bike. In Zurich, I heard a friend from Beijing say that ZUG has a very cheap "dry biscuit", and the scenery of the mountains near Lake Zug is surprisingly good, especially the lake shore is surrounded by mountains, dense forests, and sparsely populated; You can see mountains and water nearby; you can ski in winter and escape the heat in summer; it is also a natural oxygen bar. A few words touched our hearts and we decided to head towards Zug.
