# Punch in, have a good life #
Since Xiao Zhao and I came back from Kaesong, life in North Korea has been calm again. Near the weekend, I made an appointment with Xiao Zhao to let her accompany me to travel on the weekend. Staying in the hotel room all day and not going out anywhere is particularly boring after a long time.
When we parted on the road, I asked Xiao Zhao to think about it and see where we would travel at the weekend. When we parted on Friday afternoon, she told me that she had decided where to play and would come to see me on Sunday. He also mysteriously told me that he would bring a mysterious figure with us. I asked several times, but Xiao Zhao didn't tell me who would go with us.
Saturday in North Korea is the time for them to study national policies and guidelines, which is basically every Saturday. As a result, we foreigners can't go out basically, so we can only stay in the hotel room honestly and go nowhere.
I stayed in the apartment all day on Saturday. After finishing work in the morning, I sent it back to the company. In addition to going downstairs to watch the local people playing table tennis at the door, I watched boring TV programs in my room.
On Sunday morning, I met Xiao Zhao who came to pick me up on time at the door of my apartment. Today, she changed her usual professional suit and put on a beautiful dress, standing on the roadside outside the door, and passers-by couldn't help looking back.
After seeing Xiao Zhao, I caught a glimpse of the mysterious figure she said last time-another North Korean girl standing behind her, talking to her from time to time. He looks younger than Xiao Zhao, wearing a floral beige dress, with a ponytail face that looks a little baby fat, white foundation and delicate red lips. Although he doesn't have Xiao Zhao's temperament, he also has the natural beauty that Korean girls are born with.
When Xiao Zhao saw me coming to them, he greeted me with a big smile. The Korean girl behind me introduced me and said, "This is my own sister. She just graduated from college and hasn't worked yet. Today we went out to play, and she had nothing to do at home. She has been clamoring for me to accompany her these two days. I really have no choice but to let her go with us. I hope you don't mind. "
By the way, she introduced me to her little sister. When my little sister first met me, she looked a little shy. She just smiled at me symbolically, whispered something to her sister next to her, and then hid behind her.
I am also a little embarrassed to see my little sister's shy expression. I couldn't understand what I said, so I had to say to Xiao Zhao, "My little sister is very beautiful, and so are you two sisters."
Xiao Zhao said with a smile, "My little sister is a little scared to see you. She thinks you look a little fierce. She is not a foreign language major and can't speak Chinese. Although she learned a little at home, she can only speak a few simple words. Never mind. "
Hearing Xiao Zhao say this, I was really speechless. Ask Xiao Zhao: "We have been together for so long, am I so fierce?" Tell my little sister that I am a very good person. "I remember there were some chocolates in my bag, so I took them out and gave them to Xiao Zhao to share with my little sister. Maybe it will let her relax her vigilance against me. Watching my little sister take the chocolate should be a little wary of me.
Then I asked Xiao Zhao, "Where are we going to play today? It seems that you have figured out your destination. I will follow you two sisters today, so hurry up. " At this time, I don't want to stay in front of the apartment. I was accompanied by two beautiful Korean girls. At this moment, I am very conspicuous here. I had better leave early.
The three of us walked to the taxi parked on the far side of the road. Today, we are going to take a taxi where we used to go, which is a little far from here. On the way by bus, Xiao Zhao told me that we were going to the famous aquarium in Pyongyang. She found that there would be a dolphin show today. The young lady sitting in the front row heard our speech and interrupted us excitedly. Xiao Zhao translated for me, and my little sister came with us after knowing that there was a performance today.
I smiled and asked my little sister, "Do you still think I am fierce? Have you been to the Dolphinarium before? " You should be happier after today. I invite you to dinner tonight. You can tell me what you want to eat. "Little sister heard my words, the expression on her face is very confused. I don't think she understood what I said. Xiao Zhao is translating for her.
The young lady sitting in the front row looked happy and said a few words to us happily. After seeing Xiao Zhao say a few words to her sternly, she said to my unhappy face, "Thank you!" Then, he silently turned around and looked ahead.
I looked at the two sisters in front of me. It should be Miss Xiao Zhao who is educating her little sister. I asked Xiao Zhao around me, "What's the matter? What did you say to your sister? How did you receive your training? Why does she look a little unhappy again? "
At this moment, Xiao Zhao told me, "My little sister watched us approaching the Dolphinarium. When I told her that you were going to invite her to dinner tonight, she asked her what she wanted to eat. She is a little excited and happy. She told me that I didn't expect to have anything to eat today, and I really wanted to eat. I don't know what to eat, so I'm a little angry. "
"I told her not to invite me to dinner. After playing there, you must go home. How to go out to play at night and how to eat? "
After I understood the conversation between their sisters, I told Xiao Zhao not to be so violent. I met her for the first time today, but it was nothing. After playing today, we will take our little sister to eat delicious food. You can choose the place to eat. Tell her we should be happy when we go out today, not unhappy.
Xiao Zhao finally saw a long-lost smile on his sister's face. It seems that Miss Xiao Zhao should be very strict under the furniture. I deliberately pointed to Xiao Zhao and asked my little sister if your sister was particularly mean to you at home and often scolded you.
When I saw that Xiao Zhao didn't want to translate, I asked her to translate it to my little sister, and the little sister next to her shouted what she wanted to translate herself. Sure enough, after Xiao Zhao translated it to Xiao Mei, Xiao Mei was probably afraid of saying that I didn't understand it, so he gave me a helpless expression and felt that he had to turn around and move on.
Xiao Zhao, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene. Smile and tell me that my parents are working at home and I have little time to take care of them. Usually she asks more questions, and she is a little strict with my little sister in life.
Seeing the scene of two sisters talking and laughing at the moment is really sisterhood. Such a warm scene brought me in at once. At this time, my little sister has lost her wariness when she first met me. On the way, she wants to check my mobile phone and watch her favorite Chinese songs.
I talked to Xiao Zhao. Why didn't my sister take part in the work after graduation? Xiao Zhao told me about Xiao Mei: Xiao Mei hasn't found a suitable job after graduation, and she likes the job of a salesgirl herself. I have always dreamed of opening a shop. Obviously, it's particularly difficult here in Pyongyang, so I thought about finding a salesman first, and then thinking about opening my own shop in the future, but I haven't found a suitable one yet.
When I heard Xiao Zhao's words, I was a little excited to tell her that if I wholesale some clothes in China and let my little sister sell them in the shops here, wouldn't I become a shop assistant? I asked Xiao Zhao if it was a good idea so that I could solve my sister's job.
After hearing this, Xiao Zhao also thought it was a good idea. Later, we talked a lot about this idea together, and she is going to find out about it with Director Wu in the future.
Later, I communicated with Xiao Zhao many times, but due to various obstacles, it never came true. Until it was finally realized, domestic companies suddenly wanted to terminate their business here, and finally failed to do so. It has become a permanent regret between me and their sisters.
After nearly half an hour's journey, we finally arrived at today's destination-Lingluo Dolphin Hall on the Datong River in the center of Pyongyang. It took a long time to get off the bus and take a taxi, which really made my flesh ache. The total fare is RMB in 80 yuan, and the legendary taxi with a starting price of $2 in Pyongyang really deserves its reputation.
At this time, we are standing on the side of the road, looking at this very unique building. Xiao Zhao told me that this is the cultural and leisure center-Lingluo Dolphinarium, which is very popular with the Korean people. The outer shape of the Dolphin Pavilion is covered with bright blue. Seen from a distance, it looks like a fish swimming in the sea.
At this time, a group of Korean primary school students in formal school uniforms passed by us, and everyone went inside happily. Although I can't understand their conversation, I can guess from their excited expressions that they are all imagining what they will see when they visit.
We followed them into the hall. Xiao Zhao took out my passport and asked my little sister and me to wait for her at the front desk to go through the formalities. Here, foreigners need to go through the formalities to visit. When Xiao Zhao walked by, I gave Xiao Zhao 200 yuan money to buy tickets for us.
My sister and I sat in the seats in the hall, waiting for Xiao Zhao to come back. Many people come to play today, mostly local families with children. Watching them pass by, they all pointed to the beautiful scenery in front of them and explained it to the children with great pride. It can be seen that they all enjoy the atmosphere here, and the modern architecture here can make them feel extremely proud.
At this moment, I saw Xiao Zhao coming towards us, followed by a beautiful female tour guide in Korean national costume. After seeing me, she greeted me warmly. "Welcome to the Dolphin Pavilion! Next, I will show you the scenery here. "
I was not surprised when I learned that the ticket for Xiao Zhao Sisters was only 65,438+00 won, while I, a foreigner, had to pay 65,438+000 yuan. I think this is a paid tour guide. At this time, it is natural to have a guide to show us around. The three of us followed in the footsteps of the beautiful female tour guide and entered the ocean world full of dreams.
Here is an aquarium of 1200 square meters, with two floors above ground and one underground. Now we follow the tour guide into the sea world here, with huge glass walls on both sides, in which there are about 120 kinds of rare ornamental fish, enjoying ourselves, and there are various coral reefs and algae in the water.
Here, visitors can feel as if they are at the bottom of the sea, enjoying all kinds of beautiful fish, as well as beautiful coral reefs and aquatic plants distributed everywhere. At the moment, I look at the fish that occasionally swims in front of me, as if I were heading for the underwater world with Xiao Zhao. I didn't expect to see such fantastic scenery in Pyongyang.
In front of us, we saw a group of children at the door. At this time, they are all looking at the beautiful fish in the glass wall in twos and threes and communicating with each other. Everywhere is full of shocking expressions. Seeing their excited expressions at the moment is really happy for them. It is also a kind of happiness to enjoy such colorful scenery in their childhood.
At this time, the tour guide led us into the marine knowledge popularization room and animal specimen showroom here.
We are entering a completely artificial underwater world. There are all kinds of fish specimens around the room, such as sharks, shells, turtles, jellyfish, and many specimen models I have never seen before, which makes people linger. There is a TV set in the distance. At this time, popular science programs are playing continuously. At this time, many people are taking pictures here as a souvenir. Wherever my little sister goes, she drags me and Xiao Zhao to take pictures as a souvenir.
Here, the beautiful female tour guide has basically finished explaining. This is our free time. Going down is the highlight of today-the dolphin show. The guide led us all the way to the front seats in the stands and sat down in the best position in the front viewing area. Xiao Zhao, next to me, also told me with a smile that today, her sisters were influenced by my light, which took C place to watch.
The layout here is that the two floors above the ground are connected together to form a huge dolphin performance stage. The stands around the performance are estimated to accommodate thousands of spectators. At this point, the stands are already full of people coming one after another. The most striking thing is that a group of North Korean children in school uniforms in the stands in the distance are talking and laughing loudly when they see the costumes on the stage, and their immature faces all show happy and excited smiles.
At this time Xiao Zhao got up and went outside. Neither my sister nor I know what she did. My little sister looked at me and asked her. She also shook her head with open hands and couldn't say clearly. It was not until a host began to speak on the front stage that Xiao Zhao came out of the entrance with a bag of things and squeezed through the crowd. It turned out that she was very considerate and bought us food and drink. I took her and handed it to the water bottle, only to find myself really thirsty. At this time, the girls in Xiao Zhao are really warm and caring!
Hardly had we sat down when a wonderful performance began at the front desk. In the center of the stage is the seawater specially transported from the whole pool, and we can obviously smell the fishy smell in the seawater when sitting in front. At this time, dolphins swimming in the sea are doing various wonderful performances under the guidance of trainers.
In front of the audience in the stands, they are circling and jumping, and all kinds of wonderful performances are rolling in the air, which leads to thunderous applause from time to time. The host also specially asked a primary school student in the stands to observe dolphins at close range.
When the child came to the shore, the dolphins in the sea jumped up and kissed the child on the shore after listening to the trainer's command. This scene caused the audience to scream again and again and the applause was fierce. I'm afraid such a scene will leave a deep impression on the lives of all the children who participated in the scene and spend an unforgettable childhood with them.
Then there was the dolphin arithmetic performance, and the host on the stage turned his eyes to me at this time. At this time, the focus of the audience was on me. I still don't understand what happened. Xiao Zhao, who was sitting next to me, immediately said to me, "The host said that you are very welcome to watch the performance. Now she has chosen you to give the dolphin a debut arithmetic problem to test its intelligence. You have become a lucky audience here. "
Seeing many local people looking at me quietly, I became very excited. I didn't expect to watch the performance in Pyongyang and have the opportunity to be a lucky audience. I quickly picked up Xiao Zhao and asked her to translate for me. After understanding the rules of the game, I gave the dolphins an arithmetic problem of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within ten, so that the dolphins in the water could calculate it themselves after listening. Then the dolphin will hit the pedal with its head in the water and ring the bell. The number of rings represents the result calculated by the dolphin.
This is an interesting interactive session. I didn't expect this operation. I'm a little worried about whether the dolphins in the water can finish such a performance. Some said a math problem of 2 times 3 uncertainly, worried that it was complicated. I didn't expect the dolphins in the water to be particularly smart. I got it right and knocked on the pedal six times in the water. At this time, Xiao Zhao and Xiao Mei around me directly showed shocked and unbelievable expressions, which was amazing. None of us expected dolphins to be so magical. The audience applauded warmly.
Finally, a beautiful female trainer on the field dressed as a mermaid, and several Korean girls all jumped into the water and performed an elegant mermaid princess dance for everyone. They floated on the water from time to time, waved to the crowd in the stands, and made standardized movements with unified movements. The beautiful scene triggered bursts of applause. Sometimes they will go deep into the water and show their graceful dancing to the audience in the stands through the underwater lens. The beautiful underwater dance touched me directly. This is a wonderful performance, and art knows no borders. People everywhere are a group of great talents.
On the way out, I was still immersed in the wonderful performance just now, and Xiao Zhao around me was also excited to share the wonderful programs I saw here with my little sister. The North Korean girl performing in the back is actually an athlete of their national swimming team. She usually comes to the Dolphin Hall here to bring elegant underwater performances to the people when she has time. Let more local people enjoy the charm of water dance.
After we came out of the aquarium, it was almost noon, so I discussed it with my sisters in Xiao Zhao and bought a box lunch at a roadside shop not far from the past.
On the past road, we saw many people gathered in the nearby square, playing with children on the entertainment equipment displayed here. Looking at my little sister's excited eyes, let Xiao Zhao go over and ask questions. After paying the tickets, our group went to the playground like three big children.
Unexpectedly, an unforgettable thing happened here.
To be continued! The follow-up will bring you more wonderful sharing!
