The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

The cooling effect of air conditioning in Land Rover bulletproof off-road vehicles is very good, which finally relieved Zhang Nan, who was most worried about traffic problems.

Even if it is not hot to the point where hairs explode, this humid day with a minimum of 26 to seven degrees and a maximum of 30 degrees is uncomfortable!

In Mumbai, air conditioning is not only used to cool down, but also has a greater dehumidification effect.

But Zhang Nan was relieved, and Nicole and Jenny sitting on both sides of him were thankful!

Because they saw the incredible means of transportation from the airport to downtown Mumbai, in the eyes of Americans, they looked at aliens!

The surrounding area of ​​the road should be the first impression for foreigners who come to India; if the airport is not counted, no matter how bad it is, it won't be bad.

But this first impression is really not good!

"Ellen, look at it!"

On the right, Jenny looked at an old-fashioned truck full of cargo that was overtaken by the convoy. Not only was the cargo piled high and crumbling, there were more than a dozen people sitting on the cargo.

Zhang Nan took a glance and said lightly: "What's weird about this, you will know what overloading is when you see their coaches and trains."

"Isn't that exaggeration enough?" Jenny looked surprised.

"That's good. In northern India, the number of people in this truck has to be at least tripled."

It's just a trifle from more than a dozen good people. It's nothing strange: Zhang Nan has seen the style of the Indian "trailer" that was passed down before his rebirth. The scene where the car is full of people, the roof is full of people, and the car can't be seen. The normal condition of Indian traffic!

As for trucks, the height of the cargo is four or five meters, and the width is the carriage multiplied by 2. It is quite common to squeeze dozens of numbers on the top to take a ride.

The most exaggerated is of course the trains in India, the world's first "passenger transport efficiency"!

Under the guidance of the clearing police car, the convoy moved forward at a speed not much faster than the bicycle. The traffic conditions ahead slowly made Zhang Nan worry about whether he could have dinner before eight o'clock in the evening!

India is driving on the left. Nicole, who is sitting on the left, is facing the side of the road. Looking at the "scenery" and extremely bad buildings outside, he can't help but say: "Is this a place where people live?!"

So dirty! What a mess! There are so many people! "

"My dear, this is Mumbai, with a population of 18 million! Indian farmers who have flocked to Mumbai for more than a decade to find opportunities live in this area north of the city. The population is estimated to be at least three or four million.

The old city of Mumbai can't accommodate so many of them, so they can only find a place in this area. What else?

It is estimated that even the running water and power supply problems are difficult to solve here, not to mention the public health facilities, basically there is not much hope. "

Zhang Nan didn't want to tell them that even the most basic public toilets are very few in this piece, and even if there are, it will make the two Nicoles feel terrible! As for the bathroom in the private house... is that something magical?

Not to mention disgusting, both Nicole and Jenny have been said to be scared by their own men. Jenny is really a little worried: "I see the photos in the Indian tourism materials. Mumbai is still quite clean. It's close to here. International airport, this is too messy."

Zhang Nan smiled and said: "There are communities where poor people live in New York, right? It's the same everywhere, but we don't like to call the poor people in our country slums, and the gathering places for the poor in India are relatively large.

The Indians are still very practical, at least not doing face-saving projects here. "

If you want to do it, you can't do it. Where do you put millions of people?

He patted the hands of the women around him, "Reassure, the rich area of ​​Mumbai is very clean, and the place where we lived was also lived by the King of England more than 70 years ago. It is by the sea and facing India Gate. The environment should be very good.

A country that is poor and chaotic will have good places, old-brand five-star hotels..."

The convoy continues to move forward, and the houses of low-income people in Mumbai on both sides of the road are getting closer and closer to the edge of the road, because it is closer to the city, "the land is tight"!

This has also led to more and more other vehicles and people on the highway, which has reached the "overcrowded" standard in Zhang Nan's mind.

What makes people even more complaining is that I never saw the policemen who came to direct the traffic at all.

Zhang Nan would be a little bit skeptical at this time. If he didn't have the Indian special police with live ammunition to clear the way, the car would still be able to move forward!

Alyosha, who was sitting in the co-pilot position, couldn't help but say: "I used to think that there are more people in China, compared with this..."

The big man "tsk" twice: It is estimated that even the population density in Shanghai is comparable to this, and although the development of Shanghai is not fast today, the house is slightly old, but it is definitely not so messy!

More than 20 years later, Mumbai, India, except for those rich areas, this mess is well-known in the world, not to mention that it is still in the 1980s!

Most cities in other countries have fewer "slums" and more liveable urban areas, but Mumbai is obviously the other way around!

It is still in the 1980s, and India’s software industry has not yet taken off. Needless to say, the economic conditions and urban infrastructure.

The so-called "poor people's houses" on both sides of the road are actually built with woven bags and a few branches. They are not even a shack. Many of them have no walls on all sides. You can see a lot of India from the car. The poor live under a few square meters of roof as a family!

How do you live here? Find a few pieces of cloth to cover it all around at night?

Zhang Nan thinks it's possible, the weather is hot and humid, and it's probably open all around for ventilation.

There are also those with better conditions, living in a tent made of dark canvas, which reminds Zhang Nan of ancient nomads.

The better condition is to build a house with discarded iron sheets. This kind of house is pretty good in this area.

For those poor Indians who are basically impoverished, the good news is that even in Mumbai’s coldest January and February, the temperature is as low as 17-8 degrees. It is estimated that people will not freeze to death.

...

After driving for more than an hour, the team finally entered the real urban area of ​​Mumbai. At this time, the driver of Zac finally found a problem: "Boss, how come few of their cars have mirrors? This technology is too good. powerful!"

"You just found out?

It would be nice to be able to drive you a car with a mirror. Land Rover is purely imported. India sells cars without mirrors at all, so you need to pay extra. "

Zach smiled "hehe", he really just discovered that this is a bit of suspicion of negligence for an armed driver.

But he can’t be completely blamed. Zach has no time to distract attention to whether the car on the side has a mirror or not: It’s enough to deal with the rampage of the sacred cow, but also pay attention to those who dare to rush into the armed **** convoy. Tricycle.

There are donkey carts, horse carts, and even Zhang Nan just saw three people riding elephants dangling on the road!

After 20 years in China, riding horses will make news on the streets, but it’s not surprising that riding elephants on the roads in India, this will happen, and it will remain the same decades later.

Zhang Nan was too lazy to tell Zach: There are not many cars in India now, and the traffic accident rate in India will be the highest in the world in 20 years!

Alyosha in the front row talked about the problem with the mirrors of Chinese military vehicles in the 1970s. At that time, many military vehicles only had a mirror on the side of the cab...

In fact, a mirror is enough in many cases, especially in the age when there are not many cars; but Indian cars don’t have mirrors at all, and there are so many people. It’s no wonder that in Indian movies, actors like to stick their heads out of the car window to talk. : I can’t see the car behind my head.

Without interrupting the big guy, the other three people in the car still listened with gusto, but Alyosha quickly stopped talking, as if he had seen something extremely surprised.

"Oh!"

The exclamation came from Zach’s mouth, because outside the window, one of the legendary Indian wonders finally appeared: on a driving bus, not only was the carriage crowded with people, but there were also people sitting on the roof. The outside of the carriage is also full of people!

"Awesome my brother!"

Zhang Nan has seen similar pictures before, but it still feels different from seeing it in person now, Nima, it is too visual impact!

"What about the camera?" Jenny asked.

"In Paul's car." Nicole replied.

"It's time to take it." It's a pity.

"No hurry, there are opportunities." Zhang Nan interjected.

Although the Indians outside the window are holding the car window, their expressions are calm and not nervous, and their skill is really admirable!

"Jenny, did the American Spider-Man immigrate from India?"

But Jenny didn't have the time to pay attention to Zhang Nan, because she found that the door of the bus was not installed at all, only a door frame!

On the other side, Nicole was leaning in to see, and a few seconds later, she said very philosophically: "I don’t know if Spider-Man is an Indian immigrant, but I’m sure if the Hollywood director invites the most handsome of these people to go. Playing Spiderman can definitely save the budget of hiring a stuntman!"

Zhang Nan was also happy and said: "In fact, they are more suitable to be stunts~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Many buses in India don't stop when they pass the platform, and the people who get on the bus directly pick up on the windows and door frames. The person who got off the car jumped directly from the door.

Practicing every day, this jumping car is all very skillful. "

"What about the man on the roof?"

Faced with Jenny's probing eyes, Zhang Nan thought for a while, and had no choice but to talk nonsense: "Perhaps they are at the terminal. Well, it must be the case. The roof position is for the passengers at the terminal."

Jenny covered her forehead and said in a regretful tone: "I knew I wouldn't come with you. Mumbai is like this. The estimate of what is Kerala is even worse."

After speaking, he said seriously: "I am starting now, and I really start to worry about the next trip."

"Take your fragile little heart back with peace of mind. Kerala is much better than this. Many West Germans will go there on vacation, and you will feel like you are not in India there."

"Impossible? Mumbai is the most economically developed city in India."

Jenny doesn't believe it, neither does Nicole!

"Because it is southern India and the climate is good. Generally speaking, southern India is better than northern India. The poorest and most chaotic states are basically in the north.

However, the geographical and climatic reasons are of secondary importance. The most important reason is that Kerala is governed by the Communist Party, the Party, and you will know it in a few days. "
