EP 1623. Sharna, do you speak Greek?

Although Greece is in the midst of an economic crisis, there are no obvious signs of it in the city of Athens.

Tourists from all over the world can be seen everywhere on the street, and the shops on both sides of the road are open as usual, including the vendors setting up stalls in the alleys, the pigeons gathering in the square, and the children riding small cars through the alleys. The leisurely and peaceful daily atmosphere of Guzi does not feel the slightest sense of urgency at all.

Well, if you really observe carefully, you can actually see some flaws.

Let’s talk about the dock first.

The number of ships docked at the cargo terminal is about one-third less than the same period last year. There are also many berths available at the dedicated yacht pier a little further away. At this time in previous years, the place was crowded with private yachts from all over Europe, and it looked like a yacht exhibition.

A little thought will help you figure out what's going on.

The reason for the small number of cargo ships is that the country's foreign exchange reserves have been emptied and there is no money to import materials from abroad.

The reason why there are so few private yachts is because the economic crisis has caused an increase in the number of unemployed people, which has adversely affected public security and ultimately caused wealthy people from other countries to give up the idea of ​​vacationing or traveling to Greece.

Let’s talk about the city.

On main roads or near popular attractions, shops of all sizes are basically open for business.

But if you turn a corner and go to a more remote corner, you will find that many shops have closed their doors and are not open as usual.

Some public service facilities that were supposed to be open were unmanned and their services were suspended.

If you catch the opportunity, you can occasionally see some people gathering together, holding plaques or banners in their hands, walking along the street and shouting slogans to demonstrate.

In short, the impact of the economic crisis is not non-existent, but it is not so obvious.

If you really look for it, you can easily find some clues.

They are not here to investigate, nor are they journalists working in media organizations. Shi Xiaolei didn't care at all about these changes hidden in the dark. Including several companions around him, they also have the same mentality.

"What to say next?" He left the busy dock and came to a small square two hundred meters away. Shi Xiaolei stopped and asked everyone for suggestions: "Should we find a place to have something to eat first, or... whoever has an idea, please tell us."

"Let's find a car rental agency first." 2B was the first to give the answer: "No matter where you are going next, transportation tools are indispensable."

"I agree." Missouri nodded and agreed with 2B's proposal: "In addition, we have to think carefully about whether to find a tour guide. After all, it is our first time to come to Athens, and everything here is unfamiliar. . If there is no knowledgeable person to guide you, you may miss some interesting places.”

"Hmm~." Feeling that what Missouri said makes sense, Shi Xiaolei turned to look at Asamiya Athena and Sharna: "Where are you two? Do you have any suggestions?"

"I can do it." Sharna expressed her stance first.

"I listen to everyone." Asamiya Athena also responded with a big smile: "I can go anywhere, as long as I can be with you, I will be happy."

"Then listen to Sylvia." After considering everyone's opinions, Shi Xiaolei made a choice: "First go around the neighborhood and find a car rental agency. It's also fine if you can find a travel agency. Generally speaking, travel agencies Can help contact the vehicle.”

While Shi Xiaolei was making his choice, 2B had already taken advantage of his racial advantage to connect to the local Internet and started collecting information immediately.

Although not as efficient as Jarvis, it is almost the same.

No, in just two breaths, 2B got some useful information: "Go over there, there is a travel agency about 150 meters away. I checked online, they have not suspended business, and The service also includes helping to contact the vehicle.”

"Huh? So fast?"

Shi Xiaolei blinked slightly in surprise and laughed: "Okay, then I'll listen to you and go over there and have a look."

Following the direction pointed out by 2B, they turned into a pedestrian street with many tourists. After walking along the street for a while, everyone found the sign hanging on the wall and walked into the travel agency that 2B mentioned. .

"Ding bell, ding bell~."

Hearing the sound of the wind chimes, the girl sitting behind the reception counter subconsciously raised her head.

Seeing the guests coming in, the little girl's originally slightly depressed face couldn't help but reveal a happy smile.

"Good morning, welcome to Green Olive. Is there anything I can do?" Maybe it's because there haven't been many customers recently, but a sudden business visit made her a little excited. The little girl subconsciously used the one she was most familiar with. Greek, not English as specified in the Code of Practice.

"Uh..." Not understanding what the girl said, Shi Xiaolei could only smile awkwardly.

At this moment, Sharna took two steps forward and responded in Greek: "Hello, can you provide tour guide services here? In addition, we also need a car for transportation."

"Of course, we have everything you need here." She originally wanted to switch to English, but when Sharna stepped forward to respond, the little girl simply continued to use Greek.

Watching this scene from the side, Shi Xiaolei was really surprised.

One of them couldn't hold it back, and he unconsciously interrupted the conversation between the two: "Wait, Sharna, can you understand what she said? Uh, I mean, you can actually speak Greek?" "

"That's right." Looking at Shi Xiaolei through the mask, Sharna tilted her head: "Isn't it strange? The Holy Land is in Greece, and those of us who have been living in the Holy Land all speak Greek."

"Uh... that's right. I thought English was your mother tongue. "

"Compared to other languages, I am more familiar with Greek." Sharna's voice was filled with joy and a little pride.

"Okay then." Nodding with a smile, Shi Xiaolei stretched out his palm and said, "I'll leave it to you, since you understand Greek."

"Um."

After agreeing, Sharna turned around again and continued communicating with the lady at the front desk.

Speaking of which, because Sharna had a metal mask on her face, the girl at the front desk always had a bit of confusion in her eyes.

However, perhaps because she wanted to complete this business, she finally suppressed her curiosity and did not ask the question in person.

Back and forth, almost a quarter of an hour passed.

After the communication was completed, the young lady took out a contract from the drawer and switched the language to English: "Sir, it's your turn."

"Um?"

"Listen to this lady, are you the team leader?" The young lady took out a pen and said, "Everything that needs to be discussed has been discussed, and now we have to sign the contract."
