Chapter 88: Love Story in Comics
Today's end, Paris! An Qingju and An Chuyu's apartment.↑
I said goodbye to stephanie in Brussels early in the morning. I was so reluctant to leave. It was so comfortable here! But thinking that An Qingju and An Chuyu had a more comfortable apartment to live in in Paris, I cheered up and prepared to go to Paris.
The car An Qingju and An Chuyu was about to be returned when they arrived at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport today. An Qingju and An Chuyu carefully cleaned up all the debris in the car in the morning, and the things in the suitcase were sorted and checked. It has been two weeks since they were out and nothing was lost, which is very good.
The journey was very smooth. From the suburbs of Brussels to Paris, it took the intercontinental highway, and the road was smooth. These intercontinental highways were well maintained. There were many places where there was only one lane in one direction, but the emergency services on the side of the lane were also in place, and there was an emergency repair section every 3 kilometers.
If you have any problems, you can park the side to repair it, which is very spacious; this effectively avoids the situation where a car suddenly breaks down on the road and makes the whole road block. The rest area on the road is clean and spacious, and the rest area generally has a clean bathroom, tables and chairs for dining, and a place to throw garbage.
The large seating area is even more amazing. In addition to shops, gas stations, truck parking areas, small car parking areas, and RV parking areas, it also specializes in green space for long-distance families to rest on the lawn and piic.
Soon, An Qingju and An Chu met and came to the road border between Belgium and France.
There is a tall sculpture with fists facing each other in the distance, and this is the border. From here, the Intercontinental Highway has become the French National Highway (starting from a). The French National Highway is more stylish and spacious than the Intercontinental Highway, but the toll facilities in the service area are obviously more than Belgium. The toilets are all set up in shopping malls, which cost 50 cents at a time.
At about 2 pm, An Qingju and An Chuyu arrived at Charles de Gaulle Airport successfully. They returned the car from wherever they picked up the car. After so many days, I really don’t remember where the car was picked up. However, the eye-catching color of the parking area gave a good prompt. All the rented cars went to the "red parking area" to return the car.
Thoughtful! An Qingju and An Chuyu followed the red signs and quickly found the place where An Qingju and An Chuyu drove away. Just like in other places in Europe, parked the car when returning the car. Packed up all their luggage, handed the key to the parking lot staff after coming out, and then got it done.
The next step for An Qingju and An Chuyu is to take public transportation to enter Paris and go to An Qingju and An Chuyu’s apartment. There are many ways to get out of Charles de Gaulle Airport, buses, airport buses, rentals, and Rer light rail. For An Qingju and An Chuyu, the most convenient thing is to take Rer.
I have made a serious guide online yesterday. You can go to this website to check the public transportation in Paris. On the website, you only need to enter the starting station and the terminal station, and the website will immediately display the specific route of the ride. You can choose to take rail transit only, etc.
There are two subway stations next to the apartment rented by An Qingju and An Chuyu. One is only 100 meters away, called raspail, but you can only take the downtown subway in Paris when you go down. There is also a subway station 600 meters away from the apartment, called portroyal. This station is a transfer station between a suburban line and a downtown subway, where the Rer B3 line passes from here.
For An Qingju and An Chuyu, if you can save some trouble when you first enter Paris, An Qingju and An Chuyu decided to take Rerb3 to the portroyal station, and then walk 600 meters to the apartment.
There are eye-catching "rer" signs everywhere at the airport. You can find the entrance to the Rer by walking along the sign. Here you must buy a ticket first and then enter the station. The automatic gate must be put into the ticket before opening. There is a self-service ticket machine next to it. From Charles de Gaulle Airport to Europe/person (it's so expensive!).
Note. Rer's self-service ticket vending machine supports the euro credit cards of An Qingju and An Chuyu, while the automatic ticket vending machine of the city subway is not supported. You must be prepared to pay cash.
The first time I took the Rer in Paris, An Qingju and An Chuyu were shocked. The car was in a very bad condition and there were many people. Everyone was holding their luggage and crowded with them without seats.
On summer afternoons, I got into this kind of car. A strong smell of European people came to my face, and I felt like I was transporting a car of foxes. After enduring it for two stops, An Qingju couldn't bear it anymore. She took out the cooling oil from her backpack and applied a thick lump under her nose before calming down.
According to the situation where An Chuyu returned to the airport from Paris to take the RER, An Qingju and An Chuyu probably took the slow train that stopped at the station. Obviously, there are two types of Rerb3. The express train is very cool and there are not many people, but there are very few stops. An Qingju and An Chuyu's ride experience this time is really...
After coming out of the portroyal, An Qingju made her dizzy again. There were few standard intersections like Paris, and many intersections had many forks (the most amazing one was the Arc de Triomphe, with a total of 12 forks). You could only look at the signs and explore them one by one.
Fortunately, An Qingju and An Chuyu not only took the map on Googleearth in advance to search on the iPad, but also held the GPS that was originally on the car to guide An Qingju and An Chuyu. It was like a small adventure for two groundhogs who had just arrived in the Guizhou realm. After a small twists and turns, An Qingju and An Chuyu finally arrived in front of the apartment successfully.
It was only 3 pm at this time, and An Qingju and An Chuyu agreed that the checkin time for the apartment was four o'clock. Send a text message to see if someone could open the door. After a while, a young lady in charge of cleaning the apartment came to open the door for An Qingju and An Chuyu.
After watching Liamneeson's "Taking" or other people who describe life in Paris will find that the apartments in Paris look different from the apartments in our minds. An Qingju and An Chuyun did not really fully understand it until they came to the scene in person.
The drawings are a bit rough, so everyone can do it. Apartments in Paris are generally in this moustache. If the road is not horizontal and vertical, the "moustache" is not just a right angle. Usually there is a gate facing the street, and there is a password on this gate. Enter the password to enter it.
After entering, there is another door, and there is a password on this door. The second door only has the password for the apartment residents, and the first door is the password for the residents and some apartment service staff. For example, the express delivery person has the first door password, and he can put the things he wants to deliver directly in the mailbox between the two doors.
When you enter the second door, you will see an open-air yard similar to our "pattern". If the whole apartment is a family, then this is a family yard, otherwise it will be a public yard. Sometimes the concierge of the apartment will live in the small courtyard in the courtyard.
There are stairs to all directions of the apartment from the courtyard, and some apartments have elevators. The stairs of this small apartment rented by An Qingju and An Chuyu are surrounded by an elevator that is so narrow that it can only stand for two people.
The apartment administrator skillfully demonstrated all the facilities and usage of electrical appliances for An Qingju and An Chuyu, showing the passwords and keys for surfing the Internet and entering the door, and pointing out where the nearby supermarket was; and told An Qingju and An Chuyu to take down all the used bed sheets, towels, etc. when they left, and put them in the bathroom, and put the keys on the desk.
After everything is explained clearly, bam! This small apartment will be completely an An Chuyun! What does this small apartment look like will not be mentioned here.
An Chushi said that with his "home" in Paris, his feelings for this city were absolutely different. In the past, when I went to every city, stayed in hotels, and stayed in homestays, I had to face the service staff every day.
Sightseeing in these cities is "seeing". This time, An Qingju and An Chuyu have to manage this apartment themselves, with a world of two that belongs entirely to themselves, and in this city it is "living". The feeling is really great!
For An Qingju, the first sign of "home" is that she can start cooking.
The kitchen facilities in the apartment are complete. There are microwaves, ovens, stoves, electric kettles, refrigerators, and dishwashers. As for various cooking utensils and tableware cleaning supplies, there are also a complete set, and there are even a lot of seasonings.
An Qingju and An Chuyu specially brought chicken essence, sugar, salt and pepper from home for living in the apartment, as well as a large bag of spicy hot pot ingredients from Wangjiadu, and used them this time. The two of them enthusiastically listed a long shopping list on a piece of paper - just like at home, and then set off! Shopping!
There is a supermarket deep in the road near An Qingju and An Chuyu apartments. Here you can buy most daily necessities, as well as breakfast items, vegetables, staple foods, and so on. An Qingju and An Chuyu bought a bunch of them first, put down the things, and the two of them groped to Huaguo City.
No matter where you go, An Qingju and An Chuyu's "travel" in Paris rely on the subway and two legs. After learning, the subway in Paris is too dense, with many subway stations being only 2 or 300 meters apart. From this platform, you can see the light of another subway station. It's so convenient.
An Qingju checked. The area of 20 major regions in Paris is about 105 square kilometers, and the total area within the Third Ring Road of Beijing is about 150 square kilometers. An Chuyu compares the subway map of Paris with the subway map of Beijing. The circled location is about an area of about a large area (100 square kilometers) that is circled out. Let’s take a look at the subway density.
The subway and buses in Paris are actually integrated, and the subway prices are also divided into districts. Basically, a subway ticket in the 20 core areas of Paris is just a casual ride as long as it doesn’t leave the ground.
