Chapter 527: Shopping in Dubai

Xiao Jin immediately checked the information about Seychelles on his computer before leaving get off work. This information was not about the travel efficiency of Seychelles, but the flight information on how to get there.

Of course Xiao Jin knows about the Seychelles. It is an island country in the Indian Ocean. It is located in the southern hemisphere and is relatively close to the African continent. Xiao Jin learned about it through a documentary in his previous life. The scenery there is like a paradise, with many animals and plants. It can only be seen there in the world.

Regarding the history of Seychelles, haha, there is no history. It was originally an uninhabited island with no original inhabitants. However, occasionally there were merchant ships or pirate ships that temporarily docked to avoid the cyclone belt in the Indian Ocean.

The discovery of the Seychelles Island began in the Age of Discovery, and of course it was the "colonists" in Western Europe.

In the 16th century, the Portuguese came here and named the island "Seven Sisters". Later, it was occupied by France and named "Seychelles" for the first time. Later, the British replaced French rule.

But France is not a vegetarian. The Seychelles has been fought over by the two countries, changing hands many times and taking turns to occupy it.

Finally, at the beginning of the 19th century, Britain and France signed a peace treaty, and Seychelles became a British colony. It was not until 1976 that independence was declared and the Republic of Seychelles was established. However, it still remains within the Commonwealth to this day.

Seychelles is an archipelago country with a capital of Victoria. It has a land area of ​​455 square kilometers, a territorial sea area of ​​about 40 square kilometers, an exclusive economic zone area of ​​about 140 million square kilometers, and a population of about 10. However, the race is much more complex. There are European There are people of mixed ancestry with Africans, people of Indian and Pakistani descent, Chinese people, English and French people, etc.

The islands are divided into two categories, one is granite island and the other is coral reef island. Granite islands are mostly mountainous with a maximum altitude of 905 meters. The main islands include Mahe Island, Praslin Island, La Digue Island and Bird Island.

The climate on the island is characterized by a tropical rainforest climate, with temperatures usually between 24-32C, and the time difference is 4 hours behind Beijing time.

There is no doubt that the first economic pillar of Seychelles is tourism, which creates more than [-]% of the GDP. Half of the country is a nature reserve, enjoying the reputation of "Tourists' Paradise" and " "Ferrari on the Island", it is not only a paradise for diving and snorkeling enthusiasts, a paradise for hikers, but also a favorite place for celebrities and nobles. The wedding anniversary of the Beckhams and the honeymoon of Prince William and Princess Kate of the United Kingdom are all here. The Seychelles has become one of the most luxurious holiday destinations in the world.

However, for the current domestic market, Seychelles is a relatively niche destination, and not many people are involved.

Well, it's here, because Xiao Jin just saw the news. Now, Seychelles has just announced mutual visa exemption with China, which is a good choice.

I should have visited this place a long time ago!

So, Xiao Jin called Fang Siyu's phone: "Get our passports ready, let's go abroad!"

After get off work, Xiao Jin returned home and saw Fang Siyu who was packing her luggage. He walked up to her and patted her buttocks.

"A flight ticket booked?"

"It's booked. We will fly from Shanghai to Dubai at 12 o'clock tonight, and then transfer to Mahe Island. The whole trip will take 20 hours!"

"Just make a reservation and go abroad. This is close!"

"Yes, I asked a college classmate of mine to do it. She told me that it is difficult to book a flight to Dubai at this time, but there are still first-class tickets, but they are really too expensive!"

"How much is it? Fifty thousand for one way ticket!"

"Haha, just book it. It's more reliable than your trip around South China."

Because the preparations were too hasty, the two of them only packed one suitcase and prepared to set off. They packed lightly and simply. They didn't know how much they would bring back.

At 23:55 that night, the two took the Emirates Airline A3 to Dubai, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, at the T380 Terminal of Pudong Airport. This was Fang Siyu’s first time flying on the world’s largest aircraft. She was very excited. She glanced at the economy class at the back, and then It was a feeling of superiority that only the rich and powerful could enjoy.

The flight time from Shanghai to Dubai is about 9 hours. There is a 4-hour time difference between Dubai and China. They arrived in Dubai at about 5:00 a.m. local time. The two of them had already booked a flight to Mahe Island, but there was still The departure time was 6 hours, so I had to wait at the airport, and there were still 4 hours of flight time for the rest of the trip.

Fortunately, there are many duty-free shopping stores in Dubai Airport. After resting for a while, the two of them finally found a store that opened before going in for a stroll.

The Dubai International Airport Duty Free Shop is the largest duty-free retail store in the Middle East and North Africa. I heard that it is the airport duty-free shop with the highest sales in the world. It is indeed a trench in a country of rich people!

The duty-free shop at Dubai Airport is a true duty-free shop, with the lowest prices you can find in the market. Many passengers even stop here to shop.

The duty-free shop covers an area of ​​more than 5400 square meters. Brands from all over the world are gathered here. The products are fashionable. I heard that the most popular clothing in Paris will be on the market in less than a week. The electrical appliances just developed by Japan can be sold to you within 10 days. You will see here that there are more than 100 cashiers here, accepting various major currencies in the world. Think about it, is this exciting enough? !

Buy buy buy!It became the rhythm of Fang Siyu, because the two of them had booked their return tickets and were not transferring here, so these few hours were a rare shopping opportunity.

Most of what Fang Siyu bought was clothing and cosmetics. Xiao Jin was carrying bags beside him, and would take a look at them from time to time.

Well, Xiao Jin has taken a fancy to the latest BlackBerry phone. Well, the price is good, so take it!

The mall opened at eight o'clock, and there were still three hours before the plane took off. The two decided that two hours of shopping would be enough. However, the place was too big. Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiao Jin vowed to Fang Siyu, Next time, I will make a special trip to Dubai to have a good tour. Only then did the two of them start to check out.

When checking out, the cashier lady pointed to the notice board aside. Xiao Jin's English was very poor and he couldn't understand it at all, but Fang Siyu translated it slowly.

It turned out that if the two of them made enough purchases, they could participate in the lottery. The cashier lady meant to tell them that they could go to the lottery office to participate in the lottery.

"Then let's go, what if we win another big prize!"

Xiao Jin pushed two suitcases behind Fang Siyu, while she was pushing the suitcase brought from Shanghai. In order to store the things she had just bought, she actually bought two more suitcases.

The Arabic text on the lottery ticket gave Xiao Jin a headache. He couldn't figure out what it meant. Basically, he could only guess based on the picture.

The numbers "10086" appeared on the electronic display.

"Hey, what's our number?"

"Let me see...ah...no way? We won the prize!"

"You've got your eye on it, you can't make a mistake, right? Such a coincidence? What did you hit?!"

"Uh...it's a car!"

"Huh? Isn't it the Lincoln Navigator parked next to it?"
