First arrived in Italy - Marin August 27, 2010

first arrived in Italy


After nearly six months of preparation, finally 2010-8-23 set foot in Italy at noon on the road. This record about these days throw the case better to do something for themselves after the older, but also turned out a smile.


(Ps, a few days before arriving in Italy from Weifang to Beijing's long-distance bus, I study at the University of fifteen years ago, when a letter with a friend, more than 200 letters, laughing seven hours.)


1, on the road


this out is and the wife and kids together, taking into account the children would attend school next year, when evil entered the education system will no longer own a large section of the time, so he and his wife down determined to make his wife to resign together with the Italian children. Three of us total of 60 kg of luggage, I can not count student ticket, because the overage! Overage up! ! , So we would overweight luggage! Overweight! ! With the aircraft at the check-in staff Ruanmoyingpao, we carry weight of 80 kg, reluctantly boarding.


service with Lufthansa, Air China really have a considerable gap between the service staff actually acting as good, not at all professional-style feeling of a smile, not to mention their responsive, and finally made me a child has been pestering them to play with them.


from Beijing to Munich more than 10 hours of the time, passed on unwittingly.


brigade troops taking into account the mobility, the booking time, chose to turn the program loose time. Proved a very wise, Munich Airport was not much, but the attitude of the staff work admirable. Let me out when security belt around the soles have a bright light. Then his wife and children have not been any cross-examination, directly.


in Munich, I consulted a waiter, at the time, she did not know it, but my advice at the airport, broadcast information, she also deliberately left tens of meters, to explain the situation with me, Germany professionalism can be seen.


in Munich flight to Bologna, Italy, the work of flight attendants are very agile. Fortunately, learning a little bit ahead of Italian, since Italian has finally completed a self-study, for the first time with real people speak Italian, not the mechanical computer. However, the Italian flight attendants clearly not the computer is good, but I do not speak English and resentfully determined without fingers, and finally she understood, for me to a glass of mineral water with gas, I am also pleased, although I want is juice.


Bologna airport with the expected in like, a full Baotou airport so much, that is close to the Chengdu airport, 1 / 3 of the. Trip to Italy this time of the first obstacles encountered. Bologna airport needed a small trolley car to take the euro coins, transfer time, coins returned. We do not have coins.


in consultation with the two Italian airport staff, I found that unattended machines for coins, no matter how frustrating it is not to my notes, but did not give me the coins. Edge is a few slot machines (that I know, I played in high school, but it seems the airport slot machine slot machines than the version I played is even lower), but to be able to slot machines with a small cart to decide, after all, the choice is not my generation, finally, after waiting 10 minutes, found a Chinese paper money replaced coins and successfully obtain the vehicle. Miss China that kind, weak weak ask \

baggage has not come out, however, and waited nearly 20 minutes later, the luggage conveyor belt at last start.


get the luggage, in addition to surprise, no one questioned the airport and say hello, see a sign, written in non-EU workers to go to the window and so on, law-abiding citizens hurriedly rushed to the window, were all closed, there is no insist, only to rush out of the airport, because I intended to keep the hotel is only 12 o'clock, the airport has been nearly 11 o'clock.


I prepared three sets of options to book the hotel, after the airport into a set: the airport bus has been shutdown, EUROCAR Car Rental Service has closed, only a taxi.


my team came in the cart, but there are people who jump the queue, I finally discharged to the drivers aim of my and my wife's body, and two oversized boxes (another big one inch,learn italian language, the aircraft rejection), a medium rod boxes and two backpacks, and the convenience of my hand bag, shook his head, mumbled a few words and started a row behind me to a single woman waved.


I decided to line up, leaving their wives and children lying in a large box with 3 meters away, while the Mongolian into a taxi, in Bahrain after his hand box, and then close the box again wife pulled a missing piece in the sigh of the driver called up their wives and children waving at the car, I would say that a car really is a whole, more of a box or not a person more likely.


to the hotel, paid the fare, although the driver of the unit transferred to the highest, but also the way in the press when the words stop, but I am satisfied, after all 10 EU is not enough to sit a few bus's.


hotel is small, only 40 of the rooms, I silently in the mind of the Church about the business sense of total and how many rooms the number of returns. After arrival, I saw the smallest elevator ever seen, quasi by 4 people. All their efforts, get the luggage room, suddenly fell to the bed, after all, more than 20 consecutive hours.


2, looking for an apartment, transportation


came to Bologna, we have two options, one is live in the school house, it is estimated that as North Park spoon as expensive and not free. So choose your looking for an apartment, it commissioned on behalf of the students have to find room here, go all the way contact, because we live in a very short time, they found a Chinese house. Landlord from Shanghai, four rooms, rented a room in one of our biggest. 15 days, 350 in Europe, very cheap. The impression until yesterday, we take the train to Rimini, about 110 km from Bologna seaside resort city, where, finally to rent a three bedroom 100 square meters, 550 Euro / month, from the train station, 3 minutes walk from the beach all only that the rent would be acceptable. To the beach to live well, Italy is unrestrained, there are always some people prefer the beach nude sun bathing nude.


landlord to drive with us a long coastline along the way driving Rimini, only to be true that a region must not only rely on the development of \solve the problem, but on soft power to improve Caixing. Taiwanese landlord is very competent and, like Buddhism, there are time volunteer on weekdays. Genta Liao very happy day, I decided to live in her house, very readily gave us the keys, though we want to go on Sept. 7 will be admitted into.


Bologna train station is very interesting, actually see a police stop, the station does not matter, people are very free. We are self-service ticket machines in and bought tickets, and then directly to the site, on the train. None of doing security, checking tickets and so on. The toilet is very expensive, 0.8 Euro / times.


hardware from the outside to see the old scary, even well-known star in Europe long, but that is the way ordinary Chinese trains, but train the internal facilities are very human, Who let the Europeans do so delicate ? Are not sitting straight up straight down to the train seats,spaghetti sauce recipes, train to facilitate people with disabilities are as easy to keep up normal? Do not ride up and down the train car member of only one green in front of the button, click, the door will open. At first I did not know, outside of the persons on the train to get off me, I'm waiting for flight attendants, refusing to budge, or people outside the press a bit, before I rush off, a kind of feeling of being served, ha.


marshals is only one way to check tickets, it is said very often do not check (I did not check back when). If you do not buy a ticket fare, is also acceptable, provided they are not caught. I firmly believe that the system is not feasible at the present stage in China.
