Chapter 278 Buckingham Palace
Chapter 278 Buckingham Palace
When it comes to western food, steak or lamb chops are unavoidable, especially in restaurants that do not accept ordering, so they have to work hard on the fineness of the ingredients.
The steak Ye Kai ate was not his favorite filet, but sirloin with some fat.
But now I don’t care too much about the fatty meat. If you eat a lot, you can taste the unique taste brought by a little fat. It is very fragrant and sweet when fried.
The jazz band is more than ten meters in front of Ye Kai. He doesn't quite understand why some male musicians like to have flowing black long straight hair, or a crooked nut dyed black specially.
I just feel weird.
Other than that, Ye Kai is very satisfied with everything here.
The food is good, the scenery is unique, and the music is charming. For a floating restaurant, what more can you ask for?
Perhaps the only thing I want to think about is that if there are more meals, the stomach will not be full so quickly.Let the boat go a little slower, a few more songs from the jazz band.
The orchestra's performance ended before Ye Kai finished his lunch.
However, with the beautiful scenery revisited again, it is not boring. Looking at the same landscape architecture on different boats is a different side after all.
Ye Kai took a part of the restaurant with a SLR, and the glass extended to the river bank.
This is to do travel notes at night.
Travel still has to be tailored to local conditions. It is suitable to do Vlog in island countries, and it is suitable to do live broadcast when participating in festivals or events, but now this kind of enjoyment of food and music.
Ye Kai thought it would be better to record it in travel notes.
His writing style has always been good, and it reads as if Ye Kai can remember everything that Ye Kai saw that day, so many people on Ye Kai's Weibo are begging Ye Kai to update his travel notes.
Coming out of the hotel in the morning, he walked alone for an unknown distance, and walked to the London Eye to take a boat tour on the Thames River.
I met David, who made a cruise ship with discarded car parts, and was supposed to get off the boat at the London Eye, but all the tourists chose to disembark halfway to the floating restaurant for lunch.
Thinking about this experience is quite touching.
Ye Kai laughed foolishly twice, then quickly came back to his senses, looked around, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one noticed him.
Those two smirks just now were too embarrassing.
The money for this meal was paid before, and there is no need to pay the bill now, but if you want to leave the ship, you have to wait until the ship docks.
So Ye Kai still sat in his seat, watching the banks of the Thames through the window.
Half an hour later, the boat stopped, and some people got on and got off.
Although this ship is a ship restaurant, it is actually a cruise ship.
However, at other times, tourists are not provided with food, but the shape of the ship and the clean glass add a lot to the ship. Even if they can't eat on it, some people will get on the ship.
There are various cruise ships on the Thames. Some cruise ships are not ship restaurants, but they still provide lunch or dinner, and even afternoon tea.
But the price is more expensive, it is better to go ashore to find a restaurant on land after seeing the surrounding attractions for a few hours.
Stepping on the wooden board to get off the boat, the slight shaking of the glass boat made the wooden board creak.The water underneath was also rushing, which made many young children dare not get off the boat.
Behind Ye Kai is Huaxia's couple.
Seeing that Ye Kai was about to go far after getting off the boat, the man suddenly shouted: "Young man in front, can you stop?"
Ye Kai stood still, looked back at them and asked, "Uncle, what do you want?"
The man of this couple is about 50 years old, with white hair all over his head, and the woman's age seems to be about the same, but her hair is still black and shiny, as if she has just been permed and dyed.
"Well, we want to go to Buckingham Palace, will you come with us?"
Buckingham Palace is not far from here, you can see it from the cruise ship before, it is estimated that you can get to Buckingham Palace in a few minutes by car, but... But Ye Kai is not planning to go here.
He wanted to go to museums first, as well as the National Gallery of England. For him, these places were more attractive than Buckingham Palace.
But, it doesn't matter if you go where you want to go tomorrow first.
So he agreed and said, "Okay, I happen to be going to Buckingham Palace too, so shall we go together?"
"Together together!" Auntie smiled all over her face, "It's good to be together, it happens that our English is not very good, and we can't read English characters..."
Oh!
Ye Kai understood a little bit.
After walking a long distance together, Ye Kai had a general understanding of their English level, but it sounded a bit unfamiliar to Ye Kai and their speech was not fluent, so they had to guess and listen.
But it's actually better than a lot of recent college graduates say.
This is what people call practical English.
The aunt does not speak English. She only followed her husband to see the scenic spots and buildings that could only be seen on TV before. From the heart to the expression to the body movements, all revealed joy and joy.
Ye Kai missed his mother a little bit, and didn't know if he was influenced by him, and his parents also started to travel in China.
But now Lao Ye has a career to do, so he can't leave for a long time, so the place to play has always been near Rongcheng.
Among the couple, the uncle who can speak a little English is an engineer in a steel company in the north, and the aunt is also from the same company and has just retired.
It still hurts to mention the meal I had in the restaurant earlier.
Ye Kai thinks the 500 yuan set meal for one person is quite worth it. After all, there is a package of cruise ships, beautiful scenery and music for you. These ancillary facilities are all included in the meal price.
In some unique restaurants, ingredients and cooking make up only a small part of the bill.
What you pay for is the style and service of this restaurant.
Ye Kai didn't answer this question, he found a taxi and took the two of them to Buckingham Palace. Before getting out of the car, he saw a bright color among the many tourists.
It was the royal guard in red.
There are the most people here every morning, because there is a ceremony of changing the guard in the morning, which is very interesting.
In the words that Chinese people understand, if you come to London and don’t watch the Changing of the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace, it’s like going to Yanjing and not watching the national flag raising.
Their changing of the guard ceremony is the most intuitive way for everyone who comes to London to experience the etiquette of the British royal family.
That's why Ye Kai wanted to come over tomorrow, because today's changing of the guard ceremony has passed, and now only royal soldiers in red military uniforms and bearskin hats can be seen patrolling around the palace.
There are also many people now.
There is a place in the square surrounded by many people, only a soldier standing straight can be seen in the middle, and groups of tourists are surrounded outside.
The aunt wanted to know what was inside, so she pulled her husband and walked towards it.
When we got here, Ye Kai was going to visit separately with them, but he was also curious about what was going on inside.
Before they started to move forward, they heard a loud roar from the surrounded soldier, and then everyone quickly backed away as if by magic.
Ye Kai suddenly thought of the qigong master he saw on the Internet.
Secretly laughed twice.
The place around the soldier was suddenly empty, and Ye Kai realized that there was nothing inside, just a soldier in red clothes sitting on a tall horse.
Since he was surrounded by people and couldn't see the horse, Ye Kai felt that he was standing very high.
After all, the rocker is very straight, not like riding a horse.
And Ye Kai also knew the reason why everyone surrounded the soldier, of course it was because of the group photo.
This palace used to be the official residence of a duke. It has become the royal palace since the Victorian era. It is one of the few royal palaces still in use in modern times.
It looks magnificent from a distance, but as a royal building, Ye Kai feels that the Forbidden City is forever magical.
The British flag is flying above the palace, which is a sign that the Queen of England is in the palace at the moment.But Ye Kai didn't have the chance to meet such a high official.
Saying goodbye to the couple, Ye Kai went to buy a pass to Buckingham Palace.
Holding a 1:30 ticket and walking to the entrance of the line, Ye Kai was completely dumbfounded, he couldn't find where he should line up at all.
tail?
Who will tell me where the end of the line is first?
The crowd here is quite dense, maybe most of the tourists here are from all over the world, the habits and appearance of queuing are some good and some bad, and it looks particularly messy.
Wouldn't it be two hours after waiting in such a queue to enter Buckingham Palace?
Reluctantly, Ye Kai took out his mobile phone, turned on the video to record the queuing situation around him, and then pointed at himself and said, "This is the reason why I don't like commercial attractions."
Send to Weibo, circle of friends.
After looking at the people queuing up to enter the arena, Ye Kai still couldn't find where the end of the line was, so he found out where the staff who were maintaining order should line up.
She pointed to an empty seat patiently and said, "That's it, I'll take you there? By the way, can you show me your ticket?"
Ye Kai handed the ticket to the girl, she looked at the time and said, "Your ticket..."
"What's wrong?" He asked inexplicably.
She pointed to the time and said to Ye Kai: "You have a ticket for 01:30, and the people in line are getting tickets for [-] o'clock. I guess you will have to wait for two hours before starting to line up."
"???"
叶开抬手看了一下时间,现在是1点18分。也就是说我买了1点半的票,我要03:30才能进去参观?
"That would be a pity."
Ye Kai rubbed his brows, thinking it would be fine if he wanted to, this is a must-visit place for tourists in London, and he had expected a lot of people, but he really didn't expect it to be so difficult to enter.
The staff girl returned the ticket to Ye Kai with some embarrassment.
She also has no way to let Ye Kai go in directly, she is just a staff member of the scenic spot, not serving the Queen at Buckingham Palace, nor is she a guard who has been guarding the gate.
But her gaze suddenly drifted past a screen on the edge of the square.
Ye Kai's face suddenly appeared on it. This screen was a news broadcast, which happened to be the scene of Ye Kai's autograph session yesterday.
"Are you a writer?" She was a little surprised.
"It's kind of a writer."
He also saw that screen, and felt a little proud. As a Chinese, he held such a successful signing event in Pigeon Square in England, which made him subconsciously stand upright.
"That's great, if a celebrity has a special channel, come with me."
"..."
They are all [-] words, um... If I can write them later, I will continue to write, and I hope everyone will support me.
