343 【Be Prepared】

Ye Jin, Lin Qingxia and others then applied for a visa, got vaccinated, and prepared to go to Tunis with the crew.

Tunis is located at the northernmost end of Africa, close to the Mediterranean Sea, across the sea from Italy, Spain, France, Turkey, etc. It can be passed by 30 minutes by boat. It is very convenient and is known as the [back garden of Europe]. Therefore, the tourism industry is very developed, and millions of tourists take vacations every year.

A week later, Ye Jin, Lin Qingxia and other crew members took a chartered flight to Tunis.

Except for a small amount of air transport, most of the equipment used for filming is transported by sea. Half a month ago, George Lucas packed them and shipped them, and now he has arrived at the port city of Gabes, the southern port city of Tunis.

"Brother Jin, Tunis is really beautiful." Lin Qingxia flipped through the travel album. The album was filled with beautiful photos of Tunis, blue sea water, beautiful buildings, tall olive trees... It was really good.

She originally thought it was desolate, but now she has greatly relieved her anxiety when she sees so many beautiful photos.

"It's really beautiful." Ye Jin nodded, "However, it photographed the northern part of Tunis, near the Mediterranean coast. It is a place where Europeans travel, with sea water, beaches, sunshine, and of course it's beautiful.

But the place where we filmed was in the south of Tunis, which was an endless desert. Not many people went to travel, so the conditions were much worse."

The economic gap between the north and south of Tunis is still relatively large. The north is close to the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlas Mountains. There is fertile land between the mountains and the sea, mainly producing rice, vegetables and fruits. Therefore, the tourism, shipping, agriculture and other areas in the northern region are very prosperous.

In comparison, the south is the Sahara Desert, far away from the coastline, with a dry climate and inconvenient transportation. The tourism, maritime and agriculture are not developed, so the economic differences between the two places are very different.

Lin Qingxia's picture album is a tourist book specially issued for European and American tourists. It is basically all economically developed areas in the northern part of Tunis. It is rarely photographed in the poor areas in the south, so Lin Qingxia only sees its bright side.

"Ah?! That's how it is." Lin Qingxia was quite disappointed when she heard this.

"But don't worry too much. We will stay for a month at most, and I will be with you." Ye Jin smiled.

After hearing what he said, Lin Qingxia finally nodded with a smile.

...

After arriving in the capital of Tunis, everyone rested in Tunis City for a day and prepared to take the train to the southern city of Zaisibat tomorrow.

"Brother Jin, let's go stroll around." Lin Qingxia invited with a smile.

This is the first time she has an African country. She feels that the architectural style, public outfits, natural appearance, etc. are different from those of Xiangjiang, Taiwan, and Asiatica. It has a rich and exotic style, which is very fascinating.

"Now is not the time, I have to do some preparations." Ye Jin waved his hand.

"Preparation?!What are you preparing?" Lin Qingxia asked in confusion.

"Fresh water and medicine." Ye Jin replied, "I have read travel guides. The drinking water here is not clean, and it is easy to cause diseases if you drink it. So we'd better buy some mineral water to bring it over.

In addition, you should buy some colds, headaches, stomach problems, and deworming medicines. Otherwise, if you get there, if you can’t find a doctor, it would be a problem."

"No way?!" Lin Qingxia said in surprise when she heard this.

She couldn't imagine how there would be such a backward place in the world that she couldn't even buy clean water and medicine.

"Brother Jin, are you worried about it?" she said in confusion.

"It's better to prepare instead of using it, than to use it, or to prepare more." Ye Jin smiled, and then led it to a nearby supermarket and pharmacy for large-scale purchases.

In addition to drinking water and commonly used drugs, Ye Jin also bought some convenience foods and sunscreen supplies under the suggestions of the translation, so as to be prepared for any incidents.

...

When everyone saw Ye Jin bought a car with fresh fresh water, they felt it was a bit exaggerated.

"Mr. Ye, why do you buy so much water? Although the place we are going to is in the desert, it is not short of water." Lucas smiled.

Although Zai Sibat is located on the edge of the desert, it actually has a lot of annual rainfall.

Because the edge of the city is next to the mountains, when the hot and humid air flow in the Mediterranean blows over, it will move up the mountain, and rain will occur after encountering cold air at high altitudes, so the weather there is not as dry as imagined.

"Just think I'm an unnecessary move." Ye Jin smiled without arguing.

Too much precipitation does not mean that there is no shortage of water, and not lacks water does not mean that there is clean water. He had a friend who traveled to Tianzhu before, but because of drinking unclean water, he almost died of dysfunction.

Later I learned that Tianzhu's drinking water system was very backward, and tap water was directly introduced into the pipeline without purifying, so the bacteria content was so high that it was so scary.

And this happened in the 21st century. Ye Jin was worried that in the 1970s, the drinking water system in the small towns in the poor areas of Tunis might not be better than in India, so it is not wrong to be careful.

Besides, if the water over there is really clean, it will be 20,000 US dollars in vain. For Ye Jin, this is nothing at all. But if the water over there is really not clean, then this car of clean water will come in handy.

...

After a day off in Tunis City, we took the train to the southern city of Zaisbat.

Zaisibat is located in the border area between Tunis and Lepiah, a city on the edge of the desert. Star Wars is filmed here.

The bottled drinking water, common medicines, convenience foods, sunscreen supplies, etc. purchased by Ye Jin were also sent to Zaixibat with the car.

Tunis City is only 400 kilometers away from Jaisibat. If you take the high-speed rail, you will basically arrive in more than an hour. But Tunis's transportation system is still very backward. The train is even older than the old green-skinned truck, and it is still burning coal. Not only is the speed very slow, but it is also very bumpy.

When Lin Qingxia started, she was very happy to admire the scenery along the train. When she saw camels, galloping horses, olive trees, etc., she would also show Ye Jin excitedly. Later, she was so angry that she went to the toilet and vomited twice, and she fell down on Ye Jin's head in a sluggish manner.

Seeing this, Ye Jin regretted not preparing motion sickness medicine. In order to relieve Lin Qingxia's pain, he held her all the way and tried to make her feel more comfortable.
