Chapter 17 The showy tour guide
Kenya's Nairobi Airport is an important transit station in East Africa. Although the airport is not big, it is full of internal organs. There are quite a few passengers waiting for the transfer in the airport. Most of them will not stay in Kenya for a long time, and they will basically transfer within a few hours.
In Kenya, where the political system is relatively stable, the security problem is not much greater than that of the war-torn countries in Africa. However, the disease and environment make this country have the idea of staying for a long time except for wild animals and primitive tribal culture.
Fan Ju, who got off the plane, looked at Kenya's "original style" and could only recognize it. No wonder those European athletes signed up but didn't come. Such a large international airport house looks good, but why can't he even be able to turn on the air conditioner? What if he goes to other places, what if he wants to do?
"SIR, Whydoyoucomehere?" Kenya Lao Hei was really black. The customs officer spoke with big white teeth.
(Automatic translation below)
"I'm here to participate in a professional tennis match, this is my invitation." Fan Ju was prepared for customs issues. Although Kenya had signed on to sign up for Fan Ju and prepared his visa early on, it was easier to pass the test.
Lao Hei Customs looked at the certificate handed over by Fan Ju. He looked serious. In fact, he was just pretending to behave and was more proficient in speaking and speaking English as usual. Just like Fan Ju’s time travel, he was a type that was free of problems watching American dramas and would die if he watched "English sentences".
After pretending to be watching for more than ten seconds, Lao Hei Customs couldn't help it. After taking Fan Ju's blank passport, he knocked on the seal of entering the city. As for why Fan Ju didn't care about anything at the age of 17.
After passing Guanfan Ju, he can be considered to have truly entered Kenya. As the capital of Kenya, the environment in Nairobi is actually quite good. Just from the decoration of the airport, it can be seen that Kenyans are quite attentive. The overall modernity and the unique African culture in details can be felt just at the airport.
Although Fan Ju matured "pretty early", he was still a minor in his identity. Even if he was an adult, he would not be able to act alone when he went to Kenya alone. Even if the official language here was English, according to Fan Ju's experience, except for the United Kingdom, the United States and Europe, those Asian and African countries who said their official language was English, most of the English spoken may not be understood by the British. For example, if you speak English to them, you have to go back to the Indian school and go back.
Not to mention Kenya, if it is calculated based on per capita income, Kenya's per capita income is less than US$700. This amount of money may not be enough if it is not a land and land to eat. Where can I still have money to go to school? What about English other than my native language?
Most of the black brothers in Kenya still live a tribal life, and it is considered modern to be able to use water and electricity. Of course, if we only say that the education and education level of the capital Nairobi is quite high, at least Fan Ju contacts temporary English translation and guide through a travel agency, which is not too troublesome.
"FAN, JU... This is really personalized in English, it should be him, right?" Fan Ju pushed his suitcase from the arrival port and saw the action "extraordinary". He held a black young man with cardboard that should have been painted with colored paint.
"Okay, don't jump, how long have you been waiting? I won't do this every plane, right?" Fan Ju asked as he looked at the brain-dead child who was still "jumping" when he walked in front of him.
"NO, NO, I jumped two planes. I only started jumping when I saw your flight arrive. Look, you saw me as soon as you leave the airport. My Matata was the highest jumper in the tribe." Xiao Hei was not very old, and in fact, Fan Ju couldn't tell the difference in appearance, but at most he looked in his 20s.
Matata English is pretty standard, and occasionally there are a few Chinese words. Looking at these simple words, it is obvious that it attaches great importance to the business of receiving Chinese guests. It is true that it is impossible not to pay attention to it. The translations in Chinese and English in Nairobi are highly income.
When Fan Ju saw the $1,000 translation and tour guide fee for 10 days, he chose to give up. Compared with the low cost of Matata's $200 10 days and full-time companion, $1,000 is only responsible for translation within 8 hours a day, and for working hours other than 8 hours, he also has to be responsible for food, accommodation and overtime pay of $30 per hour. Fan Ju felt that he was being slaughtered by someone else.
Of course, it does not mean that Matata's income is lower. If you convert Nairobi's capital income to more than 300 US dollars a month, you can earn at least twice the per capita income if you do it all every month.
So when he came to pick up Fan Ju, he drove in a car. Although it was just a bit worn jeep, it was not a good car. However, Matata said that if he stopped a taxi from the airport and went to the city drivers, he would have to charge him $20, even if he was a local, he would have to spend at least $30 each time. Compared to driving alone, it would be very cost-effective.
Matata's actions at the beginning were indeed a bit amazing, but when she chatted along the way, Fan Ju found that this young man with a short buzz cut was not actually a brainless man. He was just a lively personality and worked very hard. He wanted to try to communicate with himself in Chinese many times along the way, and did not hide some of the secrets of tourists and foreigners.
"Sir, are you here to participate in tennis? Are you already a professional player? It's amazing!" Matata didn't know what the guests he was going to receive came to Kenya at first. Many of the guests he received in the past were to see wild animals. The famous East Africa migration will pass through Kenya, and there are endless tourists to Kenya for this feat of nature every year.
In addition to simple travel, some tourists have different purposes in Kenya, but Matata has never encountered tennis matches in Kenya.
It is actually quite happy to be praised by others, and Fan Ju couldn't help but feel happy. However, before he got ATP points, he was not a professional person. Before he was exposed, it would be better to "confess and confess".
"I'm not a professional player yet, and this competition is aimed at becoming a professional player." Fan Ju didn't explain much about Matata, who doesn't understand professional tennis, because based on his own experience, the more he knows, the more he gets, the more he is, the more he is. ITF, ATP, and even domestic points competitions and amateur competitions, if you follow up, the prize money, ranking, points, and even advancement in the qualifying competitions can be said to last for several hours.
The weather in Kenya is good, and it is very suitable for outdoor sports every year for more than ten to twenty degrees. Of course, except for the dry season in the East African savannah, under the direct hot sunlight, even the most ferocious wild animals have to stick their tongues and hide in the shade of trees to enjoy the cool air.
Fan Ju is not a ferocious animal, and he doesn't have to look for shade. After Matata drove to the hotel in the city, Fan Ju felt that his journey would probably cost much money.
"Sir, this is my phone number. I'm right here nearby. If you have something, you can call me. I can come here within 10 minutes. Of course, if you have urgent matters, you can also find the hotel manager. They all speak English and should be able to help you a lot.
By the way, sir, please note that if you want to go out, it is best not to act alone. Although the security of Nairobi is good, it may be dangerous to act alone. It is best not to bring too much cash on your body, nor to not bring it. If you can, prepare some 10 US dollars of change. If you encounter a robbery, just give them one, but don’t give too much, otherwise these people will follow you to grab it.
Oh, and sir, if you want to arrange evening activities, please ignore the calls from the hotel. If necessary, I will arrange them specifically for you. The girls I find have been inspected and will definitely ensure safety. The price is not expensive. You can accompany you for a whole week at $100."
Only then did Fan Ju feel that he thought Matata was so simple and he was so irrelevant. He just arrived at the hotel and was very skilled in his business. He obviously didn't know how many times he had done it.
He politely rejected Matata's kind introduction, and Fan Ju still set his goal in this future competition. Although Nairobi is the capital of Kenya, Fan Ju's destination for this competition is not here, but Mombasa, the second largest city in Kenya. Fan Ju has two choices from Nairobi to Mombasa. One is to make a short-distance flight, and the other is to choose to take more than 6 hours to go for a car.
As for railways, don’t count on them. Building a railway is much more difficult than building an airport, let alone a high-speed rail. If you don’t have the technology to be less qualified, you can’t imagine how to build it.
