Please give me a monthly ticket, subscribe, and recommend!
This place in Australia was in high school, and Jin Muchen had been there once with his parents. That family traveled abroad for about two weeks, so he still had some understanding of this country.
Speaking of this country, we must admire the luck of their British ancestors back then. As we all know, this large island was first discovered by the Dutch. However, with the decline of the Dutch coachman's world status and the rise of the Sun-Downward Empire, it became a British colony at that time.
The British first discovered the land of more than 8 million square kilometers, but after a group of geologists visited here, they could only come and return with excitement.
With such a large area, more than 80% of them are barren lands that are extremely lacking in freshwater resources. They are suitable for human survival, namely the southeast area, and a coastal area around the island.
As for most of the middle area, it was a dry desert, with an area similar to that of the United States at that time, but if it were the natural environment, it would be far behind.
So the British simply regarded this place as a place for exile, but they would not have thought that hundreds of years later, their descendants would find so many precious natural resources on the land where they seemed to be exhausted.
Although there are no important strategic resources like oil here, there are the most tasteful iron ore and uranium mines in the world. Modern Australians rely on these rich resources to live a rich life that Europeans envy.
Nowadays, people from other countries and regions describe Australians as saying that they are a group of nouveau riche sitting on wool and mine trucks, which shows how rich the country is.
Of course, the Australians paid a considerable price to be able to get under the British.
During the two world wars, this place became the most stable rear of Britain, not only providing Britain with a large amount of food and various mineral resources, but also providing them with a large amount of military resources.
The descendants of the exiled criminals were famously brave and fierce, and when the British army was not suitable for use, these Australians, in North Africa and Europe, barely preserved the last glory of the Empire for the British.
Of course, this is not the most intuitive feeling of Jin Muchen for this country. He traveled here for more than two weeks a few years ago. Jin Muchen’s feeling of this country is that it has a very beautiful natural environment, but it has very unfriendly people.
Although Australia can now be said to be an important destination for the wealthy immigrants in the country, these British criminals and descendants of mixed race with local indigenous people are actually not friendly to the Chinese.
It’s one thing that you have money in your pocket, but they are making money from you while scolding you, that’s another thing.
So after that trip, Jin Muchen and his parents never had the idea of coming here for the next trip.
They are a bunch of locals, but because they are wearing white skin, they often have an indescribable arrogance when facing their rice lords, and inadvertently reveal an indescribable sense of superiority in their bones. This feeling makes Jin Muchen very disgusted with the people here.
To be honest, it is because this country is not strong now. If they had Americans in the international world now, even if they were several levels lower than Americans, the dirty things they had done in the early years would have been exposed and said nonsense.
Now I still have the face. Pretend to be civilized in front of us? Bullshit!
It's just the descendants of a group of British exiled criminals. How did you do it in Australia? The process of plundering the land is almost the same as what the Americans did to the Indians in person.
They did a lot of heinous means such as robbery, deception, massacre, expulsion, etc.
Even in the early 2000s, in order to maximize the local indigenous people, their government forced an enforcement decree. It was to send police to the indigenous homes, take the indigenous children away, and then conduct albino education.
This decree was implemented in 1910 until it was stopped in 1970. The Baiao policy, which had been in the past sixty years, has now turned against it.
He also often asks frontiers in front of Chinese people, and then shows his superiority in front of Chinese people. After a few exchanges with local white people, whenever those Australians talk about such problems, Jin Muchen wants to spit his face.
So his feelings for Australia are actually very simple, it is polarization, and he likes the natural scenery there very much, but he respects the people there, especially those white people who are arrogant and arrogant at heart, so he respects Xie Bumin.
This time I came to Australia, I have been thinking about it for a long time. Although this country has been founded for a long time, their country has actually not had a small collection of antiques.
The British exiled prisoners who first developed this place did not actually bring much treasure, but the key is that the nobles sent by the British government to supervise this place brought a lot of good things to this place.
There were also two subsequent world wars, and the country ushered in two huge waves of immigration. Europeans who immigrated from war-torn areas in Europe brought a lot of good things.
There are also many Asian-style treasures circulating here because they are close to Asia, which is also the main reason why Jin Muchen is confident about coming here to Taobao.
The main reason why Jin Muchen decided to come here was because there is the world's largest garage sale festival.
This starts with the growth of the second-hand sales market in Sydney decades ago.
At that time, after the post-war gold development and great immigration period, Australia finally barely squeezed into the clubs of Western developed countries.
At that time, the Australian people were very wealthy, and every household had a lot of second-hand goods. Because there was no market that specialized in handling second-hand goods like the United States, many families simply put out their own old goods in front of their garage door and on the roadside, and let people passers-by choose.
In order to avoid chaos and cause unnecessary crimes, the Sydney Municipal Government simply stipulates that the date of selling second-hand goods in the city will be opened on October 26 each year, and sellers who need to sell goods will be concentrated here for sale.
The people in Sydney were very satisfied with the government's decision. Later, this day became a day when Sydney people sold second-hand goods specifically. The Sydney government did not expect that the local people would burst out with such great energy and kicked off the day in one shot, which also led to the reputation of selling a one-day trip to Sydney's second-hand goods.
After that, on October 26th every year, it was like a carnival for Sydneysiders. Almost every household took out the goods to sell them. Many people from all over the country who liked the fun came here to watch the fun, and they would also buy a few items they needed to go back.
When other local governments across Australia saw that the Sydney city government had gained a lot from this festival, more than 100 local governments immediately signed an agreement with the Sydney government to gather people in their city who needed to sell second-hand goods and let them go to Sydney to sell things that day.
So October 26th became a famous second-hand goods sale festival in Australia.
Today, because the scale of this sale festival is getting bigger and bigger, more and more people are participating, the Sydney government has to divert the festival, which was originally held once a year.
But this year, they plan to hold it twice. If the implementation is good, they will be standardized like this. Of course, if the purpose of diversion of people is not obvious, they will certainly not mind, and will hold it three times a year.
What Jin Muchen plans to participate in this time is the second-hand sales festival in late April and early May.
After more than ten hours of flight, Jin Muchen arrived in Sydney and stayed directly at the Hilton Hotel in Sydney.
Sydney is the earliest and most famous city in Australia, but when it comes to their hotels, it can really make Jin Muchen complain for a few days.
Because this is an old city, many of the hotels here are old and to be honest, the decoration and environment are not very good.
Many hotels are five-star hotels in terms of titles, but not to mention five-star hotels in the United States, they are compared with Chinese hotels, at most, four-star environment and decoration.
Originally, Jin Muchen wanted to stay in the InterContinental Hotel, after all, when Chinese national leaders visited Australia, they lived here.
It is close to the sea, quiet and has good greening. It is the world-famous Sydney Opera House that is 500 meters away. However, when he sees the decoration, Jin Muchen directly withdrew. He spent money on a five-star hotel and lived in a four-star or even a three-and-a-half-star hotel environment. He has not been so accused of it.
After searching for a while, I found such a Hilton hotel in Sydney and it was quite decent. The internal environment was newly renovated in recent years. The environmental conditions were similar to those of the Hilton Hotel in the United States. Jin Muchen chose to stay here.
Put down a few simple luggage in the hotel's luxurious suite, and then Jin Muchen went outside the hotel and started looking for a hotel.
Before coming, he checked a lot of Sydney food. Rich people like him now will certainly not treat their stomachs badly wherever they go. Some local Australian food is quite attractive to him.
For example, those kangaroos who look cute on TV are very interested in trying out the taste of this thing... (To be continued.)
