Early in the morning, even though the weather had not yet cleared, the Potsdamer Platz was already crowded with people. . For more latest chapters visit: ШЩЩ.⑦⑨XS.сОМ.
The double-decker bus brought batch after batch of enthusiastic tourists. Many people came early to line up to buy their favorite movie tickets. Many of them came with their dogs on a leash and fed them hot dogs, hamburgers or turkey barbecue. more than one person.
Just how much do Germans love dogs?
If you randomly stop a young man on the street and ask him how many children he has, he will probably answer three seriously: an 8-year-old boy, a 6-year-old girl, and a 2-year-old dog... …
If you see a housewife walking on the street pushing a stroller, a baby is sitting in the stroller with a pacifier in its mouth, and she is leading a dog at the same time, the correct way to say hello should be to praise the dog first Cute, instead of calling the baby cute first or calling her beautiful...
The people with the dogs are tired from walking, resting on the benches by the side of the road, using the food they brought casually or the food bought from the snack cart, eating a few mouthfuls for themselves, and feeding the dog a few mouthfuls, the expression is full of doting, really The most important thing is to treat dogs like their own children.
Every dog, whether purebred or non-purebred, is well-groomed and healthy, and it seems that it is usually well taken care of.
Occasionally, some large savage dogs can be seen on the street, and some people like special dogs are also raised, but these dogs all wear muzzles to prevent them from biting people.
Zhang Zian followed suit and squatted down, feeding the Turkish barbecue and curry sausage in a paper bag to Femas with his right hand.
He observed for a while, and found an interesting phenomenon, that there are very few stray cats on the street, and there are no stray dogs at all. Every dog he saw was led by the owner with a rope. The owner will definitely carry a paper bag with him and pick up dog poop while walking.
The young Turkish chef had no other guests for the time being, so he also made himself a grilled meat sandwich, and squatted next to Zhang Zian, watching him feed Femas.
Zhang Zian himself took a bite of the grilled meat pancake. The burrito was soft and crispy, and the grilled meat was fragrant. The coolness of the sauce and salad just brought out the taste of the grilled meat, which whetted the appetite.
"It's 'great', very delicious!" He said in English with a thumbs up.
"Thank you." The Turkish chef smiled proudly, "Are you also here for the film festival?"
"Probably." Zhang Zian responded casually.
"Chinese? Korean?" The chef stared at his black hair and yellow skin,
asked nicely.
"Chinese." Zhang Zian replied.
"Oh, Chinese, forgive me, then you shouldn't eat dog 'meat', right?" The chef stared at Femas again and asked worriedly.
"...don't eat."
Zhang Zian almost choked, why did this person think that he was holding Femas to eat fresh dog meat? Eating and slaughtering now?
But it’s normal to have this kind of question, because Germans like dogs very much. International students are often asked this question after they arrive in Germany. Is it identification friend or foe? I don't know if I will be bullied and discriminated against if I say "eating dog meat"?
At the same time, he secretly called out a fluke in his heart, and insisted on adding a sentence at the end of "War Dogs" that "all the animals in this film have been properly placed". There will be doubts, not to mention winning an award, even whether it can be selected for the main competition unit is a question.
The chef's expression relaxed, "Oh, that's great, have you bought the movie ticket you want to watch?".
"not yet."
"Then you have to hurry up." The Turkish chef ate his barbecue sandwich in two bites. "I'm going to leave work early today, and I'm going to queue up to buy tickets."
His eyes glowed as he spoke, and it was clear that he was not only a skilled chef, but also an avid movie buff, willing to give up a good opportunity to do business to buy tickets for his favorite movie.
The people gathered here today, regardless of men, women, young or old, all have a movie dream in their hearts.
Zhang Zian and Fei Masi also finished eating the roast meat and curry sausage, with their mouths full, shook hands with him as farewell, and said vaguely: "Good luck."
After eating a full stomach and greatly eliminating the fatigue caused by jet lag, he glanced at Fina and the others who were still salivating at the rotating barbecue column, and greeted in a low voice: "Let's go, go to another place to see Look."
According to the practice of the Berlin Film Festival, the opening ceremony was held at the Sony Center in Potsdamer Platz. This is a magnificent building with a lot of tempered glass, and rows of poplar trees are planted at the entrance. It's a pity that it's winter now, and the poplar trees are all bare, without a single leaf.
There are still several hours before the opening, but it may be due to the threat of endless violent terrorist activities in Europe recently, the streets near Sony Center have started traffic control and security inspections early, with red curtains and stainless steel fences A barrier separates Ma Luyang, which is a dedicated channel for stars and guests.
Zhang Zian had also seen the legendary red carpet, but he was a little disappointed that the red carpet was much smaller than he imagined, perhaps twenty or thirty meters long from beginning to end, and could be covered in a few steps.
At the door of Sony Heart stands a life-sized model of the Berlin Bear mascot, which is cute and naive. Many tourists and passers-by are taking photos with the mascot.
Zhang Zian pondered, this time he came to Berlin and couldn't go back empty-handed, Long Xian specially asked him to bring a gift, and Xiaoxue gave him fresh crucian carp for several days during the Spring Festival, this favor has not yet been repaid.
How to choose a gift for the girls, he has no experience, why don't he buy a few Berlin Bear dolls and distribute them to them? Young 'girls' probably like dolls very much. Go to the souvenir shop and buy a few limited edition Berlin Bear dolls for this film festival. They should be available and probably not very expensive.
But there is no need to rush this matter for the time being. You can buy it before the return trip. The most urgent thing now is to go to the local pet store and buy a few sets of food and water basins for Fina and Femas. This matter cannot be delayed . Even ordinary cats and dogs are unwilling to share the same food and water basin with their own kind, let alone these proud elves.
Zhang Zian took a few passers-by who were also walking dogs, and asked Richard to ask them in German if there was a pet shop nearby. Someone pointed him in the direction and said that there was a famous pet shop over there, and he was very enthusiastic. to take him there.
He was refreshed when he heard that, since it is a famous pet store, it must have its unique features, but politely declined the invitation to lead the way, since he is not a three-year-old child, it is impossible to find a pet store.
As the saying goes, learning from barbarians can control barbarians, but we should take this opportunity to learn the advanced experience of foreign pet shops and see how foreign counterparts operate pet shops.
