Chen Xing also wanted to save face. He really couldn't say it when he referred to a higher vocational college as a university. Besides, does a diploma obtained from such a shabby school really have any effect?
When he was at home, the teacher contacted him and said that it was okay not to go to school, but not to affect other students. In this case, they would notify Chen Xing when he graduated and ask him to get his diploma, which is a junior college degree. diploma.
Being able to get a diploma so easily made him question the authenticity of the school. So it’s better to just say no.
John was not surprised when he heard this. Learning is just a way to succeed, not a necessary method.
Some people find the path they want to take while studying. There are also many people who drop out of school, and even more successful ones.
"What about you, little girl?"
"I just graduated from the University of Paris VII last year. I haven't decided what to do yet. I want to make some money and travel abroad for the time being."
"It's a very good idea." There is a saying in Europe and the United States about graduation travel. They even regard it as a kind of homework in the university itself. If it is not completed, it does not mean that you have truly completed the university.
Domestic graduation trips also evolved from here. The two continued to chat about photography. John looked at Chen Xing's previous works. The more he looked at them, the more he liked them. He said: "There is an art association in Paris with many photographers. I can't leave today. If you have time tomorrow, If so, I can take you to visit."
"I'd love to." He had originally decided to go to the three major museums in Paris tomorrow, but he didn't have to go there tomorrow. He could just postpone it for a day or two.
It's still a long time. It's not easy to go abroad. He really doesn't want to go back until the time on the travel visa is used up.
In fact, it only takes half a month. For a country, half a month’s travel time can give you a rough idea.
After drinking coffee and saying goodbye to John, the two took the elevator down. Chen Xing asked: "Have you often come here before?"
"I've only been up here once before, but recently I became a tour guide. At least half of the people will decide to come up here to see the scenery, so I followed them up there many times." She flipped her hair and said,
"Seventeen euros may not seem like a lot to you, but to me it's a day's worth of food."
"Hey...do you have any misunderstanding about us?" 17 euros is still more than a hundred yuan. Many people in China cannot make so much money in a day, okay?
"Isn't it? The Chinese tourists I met are all very generous." Chen Xing was speechless. This is a difficult topic to explain, because it seems to be a recognized thing in the world that Chinese tourists are rich, but Chen Xing still said to Abel: "The pressure of life in China is still relatively high. If you don't make money, If they have enough money, few people will choose to travel to Europe." And there is such a thing as purchasing agents.
There are many Chinese people, and the purchasing agency industry is also very popular. Many Europeans have seen many Chinese people's crazy buying in luxury stores. After posting it on the Internet, they will naturally have the opinion that Chinese people are really rich.
Chen Xing changed the subject and asked: "What is the art association that John mentioned?"
"It seems to be a gathering place for artists? I heard that there are many painters and sculptors. I don't know the details. I have never understood anything about this. But if you ask the handicraft guild, I know a little bit about it. My father He is a member of this guild.”
"Handicraft guild?"
“Well, there are also artists here, but most of them are people related to architecture. My father is an engineer, and he is very proud of being a member of this guild. I heard from him that every building in Paris has their participation. "Sounds like a good attraction, Chen Xing thought to himself.
His understanding of tourist attractions is different from that of many tourists. He prefers places that represent a local culture, or are slightly niche but have their own characteristics.
Culture and tradition are greater than the created attractions. This is also related to the reward mechanism of the system. Every time Chen Xing is attracted by a certain culture, there will be a reward, but there will be no reward when he sees an attraction, unless the attraction will shock Chen Xing.
"Where should we go next?" Chen Xing asked.
"The Champs Elysées." Her route was planned. On the way to the Arc de Triomphe, a famous tourist attraction in Paris, she would pass by the Champs Elysées. This was also the busiest time of the Champs Elysées. She walked from beginning to end. , at the end of the street is the Arc de Triomphe. Tomorrow was supposed to be a visit to the Louvre Museum, but if Chen Xing has something to do, he can first go to the Musée d'Orsay, which is smaller but has a good collection.
…………Almost all international metropolises have such a street. It is in the best location in the city. It is straight and wide, with good security. There are countless luxury stores and expensive restaurants on both sides of the road. There are constant tourists all year round. .
In Yanjing, it is called Wangfujing Street, in New York, it is called Fifth Avenue, and in Paris, it is called Champs Elysées.
Chen Xing first heard this name not in a textbook introducing Paris, but in the lyrics of some songs. It seemed that this place was synonymous with fashion, and wearing the clothes here instantly transformed him into an idol actor. Like a protagonist.
For tourists who are not familiar with Paris, such as Chen Xing, Paris seems to be just this one street.
Chen Xing looked at the beauties coming and going, and became more convinced of his previous idea. Paris is indeed a paradise for street photography lovers.
Although it is very cold in Paris now, with the outdoor temperature only ranging from 5 to 7 degrees, it does not affect the women on this street at all. Most of them wear coats and windbreakers, sunglasses, and colorful scarves while walking. Full of chicness in between.
Compared with them, Abel, who was wearing a blue down jacket, looked a little rustic. In those places before, there were still quite a lot of people wearing down jackets, but here windbreakers and coats are the mainstream.
Abel said: "Let's just take a look here. The scenery is very beautiful, but if you want to buy things, the Champs Elysées is definitely not a good place. Another day I can take you to the Galeries Lafayette, where you can buy luxury goods." It’s cheaper.” Chen Xing nodded in agreement.
In fact, this is not a good place to eat. Judging from the decoration of these restaurants, it is obvious that they are expensive to the naked eye, and there are too many people coming and going.
But there is one place that Chen Xing likes very much, and there are few people there. This is a small garden, with scattered people sitting on the benches. You can see the bustling street, but you can't hear the noise over there.
Chen Xing and Abel sat down on a bench, and he asked, "What's the name of this place?"
"Champs Elysées Garden, you are very discerning. I like to immerse myself in it when buying. But because of this, I once lost my mobile phone here."
