Chapter 28 The Christmas Holiday in the Netherlands

In the 16th round of the next game, Ajax was defeated by Twente 2-0 away. Although Mark controlled the defense in the middle of the midfield, Twente still used two wide attacks to defeat Ajax, which also made the players who had won the last game feel a hint of chill. Everyone was wondering whether head coach Koeman would directly take out the double-training butcher knife and swing it directly to everyone, but it was obvious that head coach Koeman did not ask the players to double-train as the players thought.

Perhaps it is head coach Koeman who hopes that the players can have a good Christmas relationship. After Ajax's last training session, the Eredivisie will enter the winter break, and soon the whole European festival Christmas is coming. The day's training will soon end, and all the players say goodbye. Now Mark feels that he has become a lonely man. At this time, Mark called Momo and said that he wants to go out for a walk and ask Momo to help him contact him, preferably the two of them.

In fact, Mark wanted to go on vacation with Koros to enjoy a Christmas dinner. After all, although the scenery in the Netherlands is good, it is not as good as the outside environment. In addition, Van der Fate has been inspiring Mark to go out and play together, which makes Mark feel very itchy.

After choosing a place to go on vacation, Mark called Colos. On the phone, Mark heard a bad news, that is, Colos seems to have no time to spend Christmas with Mark when he is on the show. Although Mark feels disappointed, he still comforts Colos. It doesn't matter. He doesn't really like Christmas.

In fact, Mark really doesn't really like Christmas, because he knows that the meaning of Christmas is the festival when the Son is born, which means the day when Jesus was born, which was called Christmas Eve the day before. It is quite similar to the Chinese Spring Festival. The first day of the New Year is the Spring Festival, and the thirty years are New Year's Eve. Most people eat together on New Year's Eve, and go out to pay New Year's Eve on the first day of the New Year.

But Mark knew that Jesus was an alien, and those things were fabricated or were simply compiled by Jesus himself, so Mark felt even less about Christmas.

Mark now feels that his life is a bit too boring. Mark, who is alone, comes to the red light district in Amsterdam. The window of this activity is limited to a special area in Ah City, called the red light district. The red light district is about a few square kilometers and is distributed in two completely different environments. One is a narrow alley made of blue bricks. Opposite the window is a gray-black wall, with no shops and no homes. The ambiguous lights of the window are constantly flashing, and it looks like someone is blinking a pair of mysterious eyes; the other is hiding on both sides of the canal.

There is the bottom floor of the red brick spire roof in the style of the 17th century, with a transparent view. The door is decorated with neon lights with "heart" patterns, projected in the canal. The canal is soft and rippling. Scattered water boats are moored at the shore, giving people a feeling of both realistic and illusion, and they look a bit like the Qinhuai style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The difference is that the women on the Qinhuai River in Nanjing are more elegant and subtle, while the window girls in Ashi seem open, avant-garde, detached, and exudes a strong commercial flavor all over their bodies. They are called "sex workers".

The red light district in Amsterdam has a history of hundreds of years. Since 2000, the color and love industry here are legal, so the red light district here is also a tourist area. There are long rows of tables and chairs placed on the river bank, where tourists can rest and chat. Some couples even lie on the river bank, watching the rippling blue waves of the canal, as well as watching the performances of the girl in the window opposite and how to attract customers.

The girl who looks at the window is one of the highlights of visiting the Red Light District, where the women come from all over the world. On the map of the travel guide, the red zone is a woman from South America and South Africa, the blue zone is Eastern Europe, the purple zone is Asian, and the green zone is all local. Under the ambiguous red light, the floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides of the canal are like galleries of naked women, opening one by one in front of Mark.

The blond, tall Nordic woman with snow-like skin, petite Slavs with bright features like roses, the Latin woman with dark hair, plump lips, the African woman with ebony, the Asian woman with flat face and dark eyes, and the Asian woman with sponge shoes came from their hometown to these street-facing windows. Sometimes, the young man stopped, knocked on the small door, and negotiated with the girl he liked. Once the agreement was reached, the guests entered the room, the curtains were pulled up, and the red lights on the windows were also turned off. Mark saw a line in front of a window, and the three or four men were waiting to chat to pass the time.

The most common one is a hot-sleeved girl. She sits on a chair to touch herself, or gently twists her waist. Most of the people who stand are beautiful and have a dazzling smile; while those who sit are very grandmother-level. They are wrapped in a little black lace fabric, with breasts and thighs open, and glance at tourists outside. If they accidentally catch her gaze, they will have a cold war in their hearts. There is a tall girl with soft hair and wheat-colored skin standing freely against the window, her attitude is like a female clerk, and she doesn't care what she sells. She chats with the men around her outside, and Mark also joins their chat. In fact, Mark is not interested in what she has happened to this girl. The only thing that can make Mark interested is to watch this window culture outside, which is also one of the entertainments that Mark has just discovered.

Soon, fewer and fewer men were chatting, and in the end Mark was left alone. When the tall girl called out Mark, Mark turned around and smiled and said, "I suddenly realized that I didn't bring money. I'm going home to withdraw money now."

Then Mark ran home with a happy mood. Mark felt that this was exciting, just like when he first watched the island art film. Although Mark is still very young now, he has had a history of appreciating island art films for more than a year. However, it was the first time that Mark felt the shocking feeling brought to him by the window girl so close.

The second day after returning home was Christmas Eve. Momo bought the Christmas tree, turkey and some other necessary items for Christmas early. Although Mark is not in the mood to celebrate Christmas, he will not destroy others' moods. Anyway, Momo is willing to do whatever he wants, and he will just not disturb him.

"By the way, Mark, I found you a new place to live. Your place is a bit shabby. I will take you to see it after Christmas. If you are satisfied, move in. The house is good, only 200,000 euros, which is not a problem for you, and you can move in immediately." Momo asked Mark for advice while sorting out the items.

"I have no objection, just make the decision." Mark has no requirements for the place to live. No matter how bad it is, it cannot be worse than the apartment he lives in now, so Mark entrusted it to Momo to do it.

It was soon evening, and Mark's small room of 40 square meters was filled with things that Momo brought, but not to mention Momo's skillful hands really designed this place into a very Christmas-style place.

The turkey, beef, noodles, and Chinese cooking made by Momo. Anyway, the tabletop is matched with Chinese and Western styles, but it looks a bit out of place. But Mark doesn't care about these things, it's enough to be delicious. Just when Mark is about to start, the doorbell rang.

Mark originally thought it was the child who asked for money for candy on Christmas Eve, but when he opened the door, he didn't expect that it was Colos standing at the door with a big bag and looking at Mark with a smile and said, "Dear, did the Christmas dinner start before I could wait?"

"Naughty, don't you say you're not coming back?" Mark said with some reproach: "Come in quickly, we haven't eaten yet. We're going to have a good meal today for Christmas."

After saying that, Mark let Koros into the room. Koros saw Momo at the first time. In fact, she is no longer wary of Momo now, because she is a smart woman. He has figured it out since that day that if Mark really happens to Momo, he can't control it. If he keeps putting pressure on Mark, maybe Mark will really do something, so once Koros wants to get it, he will give Momo a cordial hug.

The three of them enjoyed a sumptuous Christmas dinner together, and then they each told the story of the year, and the scene was very harmonious.

Now Mark thinks this is the meaning of Christmas, just like the Spring Festival, everyone's reunion is the festive atmosphere. Although he is in a foreign country, Mark feels that he is not alone, because he has his Chinese compatriot, Momo, and his foreign girlfriend, with his side.

After the Christmas Eve dinner, he silently found an excuse to say goodbye. The remaining two were Mark and Colos, and naturally they had to play some adult games.

The next morning, Mark and Koros got up, washed and dressed up and went to the place of the residence that Mark was looking for. Due to traditional reasons, unlike other cities in the Netherlands, its land system is actually a bit like China. People buy not the permanent property rights of the land, but the use rights with a term. Most of the land for sale in Amsterdam is 50 years of land use rights. You can buy land use rights in a large area, and then you make a suitable plan to divide the land into small pieces and then sell it, such as a boathouse.

The right to use a piece of water is usually 3-5 years, and the boat is converted into a house. You can live in it yourself or rent it. Amsterdam encourages diversified housing, because it is one of the most dense cities in Europe. 30% of its houses are social housing, and they are all low-rent housing. Simply put, the revelation of Amsterdam is that even if the land is not privately owned but rental, it can be rationally used by encouraging diversified housing forms and property rights splits, thereby stimulating more residential products to solve the housing problem.

The land that Mark is going to buy now is not the kind of land with only fifty years of use rights, but land with independent property rights. This is also rare in Amsterdam, and it is not a big deal for 200,000 euros. The owner of this house is a Dutch. He often lives in Amsterdam due to business reasons. However, because he is getting older, he is preparing to move to the United States for the sake of his children's education. Therefore, it is not very useful to leave this house, and it is also great to be able to sell it for some money.

It was very nice to visit this two-story villa. It was decorated with Dutch characteristics. It had about two public bathrooms, six rooms, an open-air swimming pool and a small garden. The living room and kitchen were super large. Mark felt that in comparison with this villa, the place where he lived before would be a pig's nest.

After Mark soliciting Colos's opinions, Colos was also very satisfied with the house, but he still needed some places to be renovated. So Mark did not take any effort to sign an agreement with the other party and directly took the house under his name.

Then Kolos immediately played out his mistress's rights. The first thing to do when decorating and decorating is to smash the wall. Kolos is preparing to transform the villa into a place with one master room, two master bathrooms, four guest rooms, and two public bathrooms.

Of course, Mark had no objection to these. Anyway, Koros would do whatever he wanted and just stay in it. But the tragedy was that during the renovation of Koros, Mark had to continue to live in his apartment of only 40 square meters. Although he could live in a better place with Mark's value, Mark felt it was too troublesome to move around, so it would be better to live in this small apartment.

Since she is now engaged in the modeling industry, she cannot stay with Mark for long, so she found a decoration company, told her plans and asked the other party to give the final design picture on the computer, and then she left the difficult supervisory task to Momo, and then enjoyed a short sweet time with Mark.

Of course, Mark was not idle either. He directly made an appointment with Van der Fate and Sylvia to go to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil for vacation. Since Brazil is in South America, all his seasons are exactly the opposite of Europe. Rio de Janeiro is now a good time to take a vacation. Although the prime time of vacation in Rio de Janeiro should be in February, due to the game, Mark and Van der Fate could not wait until February for a vacation. Phuket was also good, but in the end, everyone decided to choose Brazil. After all, Brazil, as the football kingdom, Mark, was still very eager to come here to see it. Anyway, he was playing around, and everyone came to Rio de Janeiro without any objection.

When he came here, Markk really felt the style of the football kingdom. The children here basically played football on the beach barefoot. Although Mark and Van der Fate are famous in the Netherlands, they are the world of Ronaldo and Ronaldinho in Brazil.

Mark and Van der Fate also enjoy a life without harassment from reporters and fans. Although the fans' pursuit began to make Mark happy, fans come up to take photos with you and ask for your autograph anytime and anywhere, but Mark is a little depressed. After all, sometimes Mark also has his own things to do, but if you don't sign someone, Mark feels sorry for others, and they like you, so Mark is often surrounded by people after going out, especially some Chinese travelers in the Netherlands.

Looking at the hot-bodied Brazilian beauty Mark on the beach, I felt that it was really not in vain. "It's so big, how do you grow?" Mark thought to himself while watching.

"What are you looking at?" At this time, Colos grabbed Mark's ear and said, "I think it's all a lie to feel the atmosphere of the football kingdom. It's true to watch hot girls here."

"I'm wronged." Mark quickly defended: "There are two beauties here that I can't stand it. I don't have time to see other women, right? Raphael."

Van der Fate also nodded meaningfully. His current position is firmly standing on Mark's side. In fact, he has not seen Brazilian hot girls less just now, and he was whispering to Mark's about the physiological structure of Brazilian girls.

At this time, Kolos and Sylvia pulled Mark and Van der Fate to swim in the sea. After playing for a while, everyone walked on the beach. There were blue and blue waters and layers of waves. They stepped on the golden and soft sand under their feet. The sea breeze was blowing in their ears, and they could smell the smell of the sea in the sea breeze. A wide seafront road winded forward along the beach trend, and the sidewalks on the seafront road were white and black.

Small stones are inlaid into various wavy patterns, and tall and straight palm trees stand beside the sidewalk, dancing with the sea breeze. On the other side of the seafront are the 20th and 30th floor hotels, hotels and luxury apartments. Modern buildings and beautiful seaside scenery are harmoniously integrated and complement each other. Whether during the day or at night, the beach is full of people coming here for walks, playing football, bathing in the sun and surfing in the sea.

In fact, according to the plan of Van der Fate and Sylvia, everyone should rent a resort island to play, but Mark firmly brought Van der Fate into his own camp. Mark told Van der Fate that there were more hot girls to see. If we don’t look for hot girls, can’t we let us see it? Van der Fate thinks it makes sense.

So Mark said that he could feel a better atmosphere here, so he started playing on the beach with many tourists. However, two football players came to the beach, and it was a Brazilian beach and naturally he had to show off his footwork.

Mark soon discovered that he was the trashest footwork among these four people. Even Sylvia and Koros's ball-fighting skills were much better than Mark's, let alone Van der Fate.

"You did a good job as a defender" Mark was teased by Sylvia.

"Marc's interception is your strength after all" was teased by Vanderfate.

"Mark, your running is your strength" was teased by Colos.

Mark can only hide in the corner and draw circles. At the same time, Mark secretly vowed that he must practice his skills after returning to the Netherlands, and at least he must be able to shoot.
