travel starts with photography

Chapter 336 Kingdom of Sweden
When Chen Xing first arrived in Sweden, he entered the country from Arlanda International Airport in the northern suburb of Stockholm, the capital of Sweden.

After boarding the plane from the bustling and noisy Charles de Gaulle Airport, after less than three hours of flight, Chen Xing's first impression of Sweden was that the airport was surprisingly clean and quiet.The people Chen Xing met after passing through the customs here all had a reserved look on their faces that was completely different from that of Western Europeans.

Fortunately, this looks like a Huaxia Airport with few people. Everyone is doing what they should do, and they will not strike up a conversation with the people around them rashly, and no one will chat with their friends here.

Sweden is a place with a low reputation.

Many people, even Chen Xing, used to regard this place as the same place as Switzerland, and sometimes wondered whether it was Switzerland or Sweden. In short, what they thought of was the country where everyone likes to store their money here.

As an ordinary person, Chen Xing doesn't quite understand why so many people like to deposit their money in Swiss banks, which is beyond his comprehension.

But it is also the reason why Chen Xing has relatively little money. He does not have much in the country now, and most of his income is still in the French Société Générale. It's too troublesome to go, so just save it like this.

Geographically speaking, Northern Europe refers to the five sovereign independent countries of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland.

Among them, only Finland has joined the Eurozone, and the other four countries continue to use a currency unit called the krona. They only add the name of the country in front of the krona. The exchange rates are different, so before Chen Xing came, he exchanged some Swedish krona in the bank.

There is another thing that few people notice about the five Nordic countries, that is, the flag patterns of these countries are exactly the same, only a little more difference in color.

Denmark has a white cross on a red background, Sweden has a yellow cross on a blue background, Norway has a blue cross on a red background, etc...

For thousands of years, foreign tourists from outside Europe have rarely come to this place, so until now the Nordic countries are not as well-known as Britain and France, and now the Nordic style is only spread among those who like to travel. Among the small crowd.

Chen Xing did not directly contact the people at the Hasselblad factory, but just found a hotel in Stockholm by car and stayed first.

"It's really cold..." Chen Xing said as he put down his luggage in the hotel.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this situation and brought out a long coat.

In Paris, there must be a few long coats in the men's wardrobe. Except for the hot summer this year, you can see handsome Parisians wearing long clothes when they go out in other months. Even in winter, they seldom wear down jackets.

But this is just an example of Paris, and other cities will have much less of this atmosphere.

Suddenly coming from a warm place to a cold place like Sweden, Chen Xing was really not used to it. Before changing clothes, he took a bath in the bathtub while swiping his phone. A new set of clothes.

These are the only thick clothes he has, and if he wants to change them later, he has to go to the store to buy new ones.

This is not a problem for Chen Xing, he is going to go shopping now, holding a Hasselblad camera made in Sweden... Ha, I don’t know what the passers-by in Sweden think of the Hasselblad brand, those people who were photographed by Chen Xing Can you recognize that this is a camera made in their country?

Thinking of this, Chen Xing immediately walked out of the hotel with the camera.

It's almost four o'clock in the afternoon in Sweden. The sun in the sky is covered by dark clouds and you can't see clearly. The ground is the color after light rain, deep and three-dimensional. Taking pictures in this environment is the best, especially for those in Europe. old building.

Like Paris, houses in the Swedish capital maintain a very old look.

Chen Xing guessed that the inside was also modernized like Paris. As for the appearance, the Paris government will pay for it and use modern technology to ensure that the appearance of the houses in the Paris city will not be greatly changed. .

So, Sweden too?
The protection of ancient buildings in Europe really spares no effort.

This is also the reason why there are too few people. If a small country like Sweden really explodes in population, there will probably be more high-rise buildings in the city, because only in this way can more people live.

Passing by a restaurant, Chen Xing stopped.

Streets like Paris should be filled with all kinds of cafes, but Sweden is better, restaurants on the roadside are restaurants, and there are relatively few fast food restaurants, at least on the street where Chen Xing walked.The name of this restaurant is Banquet in Stockholm. It is very big and the price should not be cheap.

But who told this to be Chen Xing's first meal in Sweden, so he must find a good hotel.

So walk in.

An idle waitress immediately came over and asked in English, "Hello, do you have an appointment?"

"Just me, please find me a window with a view of the street, thank you."

He likes to sit by the window when he eats, because he can see the people coming and going on the street, and sometimes there will be some emotional stories between people. Every time he sees such stories, Chen Xing They will smile gently and eat more happily.

As for the case of seeing a quarrel, it would be more interesting.

Dinner.

The waitress also understood the thoughts of a traveler like Chen Xing, and took him to a good seat to sit down.

If the dining environment in Paris is compact, this place is loose, with the locations far apart, and some of the middle locations are blocked by partitions, paying special attention to the privacy between people.

Chen Xing looked at the menu and ordered.

A lot of dish names that I have seen before.

Chen Xing first ordered a Swedish dish he knew, called Swedish Meatballs.

This dish is very classic in Europe. Aunt Lizi made it for Chen Xing at home. It tastes good. At least Chen Xing will swallow when he sees this dish. This time he will also try the original Swedish meatballs. What kind of taste is it, and is there any difference from the French version.

There's also grilled salmon, a Swedish pie, and Swedish sauerkraut.

The main ingredient of Swedish meatballs is beef, with mashed potatoes, eggs, butter, etc. Just by looking at these ingredients, you know that the taste of this meatball must not be much worse.

Because of the addition of mashed potatoes and bread crumbs, it tasted like a colonel’s chicken nuggets, but the taste is beef, and the taste is also very different. The beef should be beaten, refreshing and springy, with a little A kind of sauce of unknown material, which adds a sweet and sour taste of fruit aroma to the salty taste.

Although Chen Xing is not picky about food, because of his sensitive taste, he doesn't really like many dishes.

This dish is definitely one of a kind.
Wouldn't it be a hit if it was reproduced in China?It's just that the price may not be cheap.

Oh, no, there is a super low-profile version in China.

Colonel chicken nuggets.

It's all mashed meat mixed with mashed potatoes. If you dip it in some tomato sauce, you can experience one-tenth of Chen Xing's current happiness.

Roasted salmon, as the name suggests, Chen Xing thinks the taste is mediocre.

The Swedish pie looks about the same size as a mooncake in a gift box during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the meat filling inside is beef, onions, and various spices.If it is made into a flat shape, it is similar to the beef pie in Tibet. The taste is good, and the Huaxia stomach can accept it.

Chen Xing found that many things in Swedish cuisine are not bad.

The few dishes he ordered are just grilled salmon, which is a little less interesting. His characteristic is smoked, but Chen Xing is from China, and this smoked ingredient is too common in China. Charcoal grilling is much more delicious than this .

But it cannot be said that there are no pitfalls in Swedish cuisine.

Because Chen Xing saw canned herring on the menu.

Canned herring is just a dish. If you order this, the waiter will open a can for you. The taste of canned herring in this restaurant is definitely different from the ones sold in the market, but Chen Xing doesn’t want to experience it, so let’s stay away from it. .

Chen Xing was eating, and suddenly saw a bright color in his eyes.

It should have rained before he came, and the water color on the ground and the building is still not dry yet, and as time goes by, the sky is getting darker, and the three-dimensional effect of the ground and the building is getting stronger.

The whole world outside the window is dark.

Most of the people passing by were also wearing dark clothes.

But at this moment, there was a woman wearing orange-red wide trousers and a baseball cap, and her coat was a papaya-colored down jacket. The contrast with the whole world was very strong, like a colorful person walking out of black and white. This kind of picture will never be missed as long as you are a photographer.

Chen Xing was so excited that his DNA moved, he subconsciously picked up the camera, and took a picture of the woman walking outside through the window.

Sometimes don't blame photographers who only like to shoot girls when they take street photos.

You ask a man to put on makeup every day when he goes out, and then spend half an hour researching what to wear today, what color to use with what color, and how to wear it for today’s weather, what looks best when he wears it...then You kill him.

Chen Xing already pays great attention to his personal image, because in his opinion, image is a business card that does not need to be handed over. What kind of person you are can be seen from the way you treat your personal image.

But he can't be as troublesome as a girl going out.

Chen Xing didn't even check how he took the picture, and hurriedly chased him out, wanting to show the girl this picture.

A waiter was stunned, and was about to run with Chen Xing to chase after him when he was stopped by the foreman.

"Hey, don't bother other people's business."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

The middle-aged foreman motioned the young man to look at a backpack and mobile phone left by Chen Xing, and said, "The value of those things is about the same as this meal, and he used a Hasselblad camera, which is a Hasselblad, why? Will you escape the order?"

At this time, Chen Xing had already stopped outside the store, and he stopped the woman smoothly.

The foreman who has a lot of life experience then let go of the employee's clothes, tidied him a little, and said: "At no time should you stop others from pursuing true love, especially for our restaurant employees. You must have a person who is good at discovering details." s eyes."

To be honest, the movement of Chen Xing running out was quite loud, and the first reaction of many people who dined here was also... Is there someone escaping orders?

But when they stood up and saw the women chatting happily with Chen Xing outside, they all smiled knowingly.

"This girl is so pretty. If I were ten years younger, I might have chased her out."

"Are Asians so bold these days? They go up to strike up a conversation with strangers without hesitation. It's really not like them."

"She dresses so nicely."

"For the first time, I think Asians are also very handsome, ah, they walked in."

Chen Xing and his new friends walked into the restaurant.

Her name is Britney Betty, she is from Germany, and she is studying for a master's degree at the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. This time she was just bored and wanted to go for a stroll, and then she was met by Chen Xing. After a few chats with each other, Chen Xing Invited her to dine at this restaurant.

"Please take the menu again." Chen Xing said.

Chen Xing returned to his dining table, the table was almost filled with what he ordered, and there was not much room for new plates, so Chen Xing remained silent here.

It's a little embarrassing...

"I ordered a lot of things when I came to Sweden for the first time. Hehe, after all, I want to taste more Swedish food, so let's change a table."

"No, I'll have a salmon."

She didn't come here specifically for this meal, but she also thought that Chen Xing, an Asian, was quite interesting, so she could chat more during the meal.

The people in Sweden are as cold as their land. Even in a school, they seldom communicate with each other. Even if they meet classmates on the street, they just smile and nod each other. So she has never been accepted in Sweden. People have struck up a conversation.

Still being accosted by equally shy Asians, it's pretty funny.

Chen Xing is not shy, at least he is definitely not shy when approaching beautiful girls. Before he experienced the functions of the system, he dared to approach the fashionable Wu Xiangling at Guangzhou Airport. Later, he also learned that Wu Xiangling is still a small boss in the domestic fashion circle.

I dared it back then, but now I can't be more courageous.

Chen Xing said: "I found that people in Sweden seem to understand and speak English. Before I came, I thought language was the biggest problem for me to travel to Sweden."

"I have learned English here since I was a child. At least 60.00% of the people can speak in English. After all, this is the capital of Sweden. It is not surprising that there are more people who know it. Are you from China? How long do you want to travel in Sweden?"

"Yes, Huaxia people, the travel time is uncertain, at least half a month."

He can stay in Sweden for up to three months. Anyway, he has nothing to do now, and there is no problem returning to China after the Spring Festival.

It doesn't have to be in Sweden, though.

He also wanted to visit some Nordic countries years ago. He definitely wanted to visit Iceland. There was a travel article in the past that often mentioned Iceland. He has been very curious about this place for a long time. The league's S game will also be held in Iceland.

He has been playing this game for so many years, and he has not been to the scene to see it.

Therefore, with all the factors combined, he will definitely go to Iceland.
