Seeing Qin Tian lost in thought, Lu Wan couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder, "Okay, don't think so much. No matter what those people do, they have nothing to do with us."
If it wasn't in public and at the airport, Lu Wan would have to teach the man just now a lesson, but she didn't want to dirty her hands with such a person.
After what happened just now, Qin Yue'er and the others' interest was completely disturbed, and there was no excitement and excitement at the beginning.
Lu Wan coaxed them for a long time. After walking out of the airport, they saw the unique buildings and scenery outside, and the smiles appeared on the faces of the children again.
Byzantium has a long history and culture. Because of its unique climate and terrain, the cultural buildings here are well preserved, and most of them have survived from the Middle Ages.
It is full of rich ancient culture and religious connotations, so it has gradually formed a unique landscape, attracting tourists, and the local costumes are also quite distinctive.
Qin Yue'er and the others looked around, feeling like their eyes couldn't see clearly.
Byzantium has a small land area, but fortunately its population is not large, so there are quite few people on the street. Most of them are local residents, and you can occasionally see some tourists.
Just after getting off the plane, Qin Tian and his party were a little hungry, so they found a local restaurant to eat.
These houses look older on the outside, but they are more modern when you walk in. The lights are bright, and the tables and chairs are very clean and tidy.
Qin Tian and the others chose a seat by the window. The view here was good and they could clearly see the scene on the street. Soon a waiter came and brought the menu. Surprisingly, there was also a Huaguo restaurant here. vegetable.
I ordered a few local specialties, but fearing that the children would not be used to them, the attentive Lu Wan also ordered a few Chinese dishes.
Byzantium has a local language, and after internationalization, they speak English, so there is no problem in communication, but when they speak the local dialect, Qin Tian cannot understand it at all.
While waiting for the food, Qin Yue'er's eyes were attracted by the scenery outside the window, and she quickly pulled the sleeves of Qin Tian and Lu Wan, "Mom, Dad, look at it quickly."
I saw a group of people walking from across the street. They were holding signs in their hands. They were written in native characters and they couldn't understand what they meant.
These people were all dressed in the same uniform, wearing white robes that almost mopped the floor. They also wore hoods of the same color on their heads. They were chattering without knowing what to say. They looked very lively.
It looked like a parade.
When the waiter served the food, Qin Tian pointed to the group of people outside and curiously asked in English: "What are they doing?"
The waiter's expression was already familiar with the situation. He glanced at it and said, "They are canvassing votes for Mr. Ellis."
It turns out that the presidential election is coming soon, and people's votes are crucial and account for a large proportion. Therefore, presidential candidates will try their best to win over people's hearts and canvass votes for themselves.
There are several popular candidates for president this term, and their methods are endless. Such scenes of canvassing votes can be staged almost every day, sometimes five or six times a day, and local residents have become accustomed to it.
Qin Yue'er was a little excited, "The presidential election, can everyone vote?"
The waiter nodded, "Yes, in Byzantium, every citizen has the right to vote, and in the final stage, the presidential candidates will personally go to the streets to give speeches."
Lu Wan couldn't help but mutter, "That means going out to canvass for votes in person."
Qin Xing'er and Qin Lan'er listened very seriously and even stopped eating.
The level of president is too far away for Qin Yue'er and the others. They have almost only seen it on TV. Now it is possible to see the presidential candidate, that is, the future president, in reality. How can we not be excited and excited.
Seeing that several children were very interested in this, Qin Tian put a few bills into the waiter's hand and said, "Please tell us more, my daughter is very interested in this."
Looking at the generous consumption in his hands, the expression on the waiter's face became even more enthusiastic, "Of course."
"Today, the popular candidates for president include Mr. Ellis, Mr. Raftery, and Mr. Venita. These are all popular candidates, and there are a few others who are also quite popular. However, judging from the current situation, these are still the most popular candidates. The advantages are relatively big”
The waiter was still a little unfinished when he finished speaking. Qin Tian saw that he was speaking so hard and stuffed a few more bills into his hand.
The people on the street were still going on, and Qin Yue'er and the others also wanted to join in the fun, "Dad, let's go over and have a look too."
Seeing them packing up and preparing to leave, the waiter looked at the generous tip in his hand and lowered his voice:
"Sir, the scenery in Byzantium is nice, but it's best not to go out at night."
Qin Tian looked a little confused, "Why is this?"
Seeing that Qin Tian was so generous, the waiter did his best and said, "That's because of the recent unrest. Some people say it's because of the election of the new president."
Several incidents of vandalism, looting, and burning occurred in Byzantium, and the crime rate soared unprecedentedly. You must know that this has never happened before, but recently it has happened one after another and is very frequent.
Although it has not happened before, the frequency is not so high. Ever since the presidential transition, this kind of thing has happened one after another.
As mentioned before, Byzantium mainly believed in two major religions, Catholicism and Islam.
Both sides believe that they are the local authentic ones, and have always wanted to eliminate dissidents and drive the other out completely, so both sides are in the same boat.
Originally, they could barely maintain a superficial peace, but the new round of presidential election has once again ignited the war and conflicts between them.
Ellis, one of the presidential candidates, believes in Catholicism, Raftery believes in Islam, and Venita is neutral.
So the Catholics were behind Ellis, and the Muslims were behind Raftery.
If one of them becomes the president, it is difficult not to guarantee what measures he will take against another religion in the future, or even to exterminate it.
Therefore, both parties are working hard to win the position of president, and they also want to completely establish the position of the religion they believe in. Only by becoming the state religion can it be justified.
There are actually such twists and turns here, which involve religion and belief. It can be said that it involves a lot.
Lu Wan was a little confused and asked: "What does that have to do with the recent unrest and the new presidential election?"
"Some people say it was done by Catholics, while others say it was done by Muslims to attack the other party's power. Anyway, both sides hold different opinions and believe that the other party is framing them."
The waiter explained in detail that only the locals knew about this matter. In order not to affect economic development, everyone suppressed the matter to prevent tourists arriving from other places from panicking.
