In recent years, Oppa and I have been to several Southeast Asian countries including Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia and Sri Lanka. I am the kind of person who has a very low threshold for excitement. Everywhere I travel, I will say, "Wow! It's so beautiful here. I feel so good and want to miss it." Living here~ I will definitely write a travelogue when I go back and share it with more friends! ”
Then, there is no more. . . Because I am still a lazy cancer patient with severe procrastination. . . So until now, I have never written a travel note. . .
but! ! ! This trip to Kiev, Ukraine, actually gave me a sense of mission that I would never do without writing a travelogue! No exaggeration or joking, admit it! real! of!
There are three reasons:
First, although it is only Eastern Europe, and although it is the cheapest country in Europe, it is still our first trip to Europe. This place gave me a completely different feeling compared to the tropical countries in Southeast Asia we visited before. At least it is special to me, so I need to write about it.
Secondly, before I came here, I said that I should check out the guides for reference. I even looked through several commonly used travel apps but I couldn’t find a travelogue that made my heart beat. It’s the kind of intoxication that makes you want to go there after reading it. . For example, when I first went to Sri Lanka, I read a very beautiful travelogue. The words were touching and the photos were touching. The fairyland-like mountain train and the fairy tale-like sea train deeply attracted me and remain unforgettable... In short, you know what I mean. Bar. . . Ahem, I am determined to write a travel journal like this! Although I don’t know what it will look like in the end. . .
Third, and most directly, to be honest, the name Ukraine sounds familiar to us, but we are still very unfamiliar with this country, and we rarely even choose it as a travel destination alone. During my ten days here, I rarely saw Asians, let alone Chinese people, and this was in the capital. However, Ukraine is so beautiful! There are so many handsome guys and beauties! So much delicious food! I feel like I would be sorry for them if I didn’t write a travelogue! Sorry for myself! Ahhhh~
Okay, let me say this while I still have my sense. I feel like I will be endlessly verbose and unable to hold on when my emotions come up, and I will become more and more like an out-of-control angry young man. . .
I'm not a travel expert, I'm just a novice who likes to travel with Oppa. So in my travel notes, there won’t be too many guide elements, but more of a record of personal experiences, moments of love and beauty. I won’t talk about politics and history, or make judgments about right and wrong, but only talk about my intuition and truth. Feel.
Let me first talk about a few intuitive impressions that Kiev, Ukraine has given me. I summarized them as “four more”.
1. There are many handsome men and beautiful women
The number of beauties in Ukraine must be well known to the world! The beauties here generally have long legs and good figures, fair skin, good looks and outstanding temperament. Some are blond, some have red hair and blue eyes. They have their own contact lenses and have beautiful faces and hair. In short, they are all kinds of beautiful. What I would like to add is that there are not only beauties, but also handsome guys. Taking random photos all over the street, each one's appearance is online. There are pictures and the truth!
2. There are many beautiful churches
There are as many churches here as there are temples in Chiang Mai, and you can encounter one within a few steps. Moreover, the churches here feel like they are all famous Internet celebrities. They are beautiful in color and resplendent, which is perfect for checking in and taking pictures. Like Russia, Orthodox Christianity is commonly practiced here. The typical onion dome shape is full of fairy tales.
3. There are many coffee kiosks on the street
There are fewer cafes where you can sit down. On the contrary, there are more coffee kiosks where you can buy and drink coffee on the street, and most of them don't give you cup lids haha. The key point is that the price is impressive. It’s much cheaper than in China. Take the latte that I love to drink. A medium cup is basically 25-35 local currency per cup, which is only 7-10 yuan per cup in RMB. This is still the case recently. With the exchange rate breaking 7 against the U.S. dollar, it used to be cheaper, and it had a strong milky aroma. It was really delicious and cheap.
4. Xiaomi has many products
It seems that few people use Apple phones, but I found that many use Xiaomi phones and many wear Xiaomi bracelets. There are also Xiaomi stores in larger shopping malls, but the prices are generally one-third or more expensive than in China. Many. There are also many people riding Xiaomi balance bikes and scooters on the streets. Xiaomi’s go-karts have even become a popular local children’s entertainment project. As a Chinese and a former Xiaomi employee, I feel a sense of pride, hehe.
Um...I've been rambling so much and it seems I haven't gotten to the point yet...Let this article be regarded as a preface. I will formally write a travelogue in the next article, 23333~Don't hit me, if you want to hit me, just give me a reward＾0＾ ~
