Chapter 49
Chapter 48: Holland Travel Notes
After a small episode, the two of them were no longer interested in continuing the tour, so they took a taxi back to the hotel in despair. Fortunately, the hotel also has a meal business, otherwise the two who did not eat dinner this time would start to starve.
It was very late at the local time, and the two, who had not yet reversed the jet lag, were having trouble falling asleep, so they began to play a series of difficult moves. When they were tired, they simply rushed over. After taking a bath, the two were finally able to fall asleep slowly, although this sleep, there was still a feeling of taking a nap.
The bed was really comfortable. When I woke up, it was already early in the morning, and the two who had slept full were finally full of energy and could go out and play.
After breakfast, the two were ready to visit the Van Gogh Museum. The Van Gogh Museum is located in the Museum Square in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. It was built in 1973 and is adjacent to the Rijksmuseum and the Stedelijk Museum. Although the museum was opened in 1973, there were not many tourists at the beginning. Later, as Van Gogh became more and more famous, the number of visitors increased year by year.
“There were too many people there last night, and it was not fun at all. Although there are many people here in the Museum Square, the road is still very wide.” Du Xiaoyu said, “Let’s buy two tickets to go in and have a look, I have been hearing about this Van Gogh is very famous, and I really want to see his original works and see how he is famous.”
“Well, there should be a place to buy tickets. There are a lot of people. I’ll go to the queue to buy it, you wait.” The queue for buying tickets is about 20 meters long, but compared with the domestic market, it is not very good. It’s too scary.
But in the end, Zhang Yong did not queue, but bought two tickets from the scalpers.
“So fast. It seems that the scalper problem is a worldwide problem.” Du Xiaoyu also sighed.
“Uh, Xiaoyu, when did you learn to worry about the country and the people?” Zhang Yong smiled.
To enter the Van Gogh Museum, there is also a queue, but after queuing in, the paintings inside are not very dense – in a large museum on the third floor, there are actually only a few hundred Van Gogh works.
“I really wanted to take pictures here, and I went back and showed off to my classmates, but unfortunately it’s not allowed to take pictures here.” Du Xiaoyu said regretfully.
“It’s okay, we’ll go out later and take pictures of the scenery outside. The same is true.” Zhang Yong said, “Actually, I want to say, there doesn’t seem to be anything to see here. Look, his self-portrait doesn’t look like a man at all. A real person, or a current camera, is much more similar than an oil painting.”
“Van Gogh was a colorist painter. His creative discovery and expression of color was very powerful. The colors are unrestrained and exaggerated, and the shapes are thick, rough, full of power and intensity. The concept of painting.” Du Xiaoyu said solemnly, making Zhang Yong a little stunned.
“Well, the words I said just now were actually memorized before, haha. I don’t think there is any difference between this Van Gogh’s words and what my nephew drew with crayons.” It turned out that Du Xiaoyu didn’t understand. what.
“These paintings are so crazy, I have absolutely no idea what they are about. Let’s take a look around. If there’s nothing interesting, let’s go.” Zhang Yong couldn’t understand these paintings at all. It seems that he shouldn’t pretend to be cultural. The level is very high, and the first stop is to choose such a place with artistic content.
Du Xiaoyu laughed: “You’re right, this Van Gogh is really a mental illness, haha!”
“…” Really fooled by himself, Zhang Yong was a little speechless, “In that case, we are going to see a mentally ill painting exhibition.”
“Yeah, such paintings can only be painted by really crazy people.” Du Xiaoyu said with emotion.
“How can such a painting become a masterpiece? If it were me, I wouldn’t buy one.” Zhang Yong said.
“Van Gogh really sold a painting in his lifetime.”
I guessed it right again, it seems that there are still many people in this world with the same vulgar aesthetics as Zhang Yong.
“Look, there is a painting in front of it, there is no glass protection, many people are touching it, let’s touch it too.” Du Xiaoyu said. Blocking is worse than sparseness. Many museums will make one or two imitations for tourists to touch with their hands.
After leaving the museum, they ate a local lunch in the simple roadside restaurant, and the two continued their afternoon tour. However, most of the local foods in the Netherlands are some cheese products and sweets, and most of the foreign tourists are not used to it.
A canal cruise is one of the best ways to explore the city. Although I went to the side of the canal the day before and went to the red light district outside, it was somewhat unpleasant, but the canal scenery during the day was completely different from that at night.
The two rented a pedal boat and were going to slowly visit this so-called “Venice of the North”, going to visit the canal in a circle.
Cruise slowly on the canal, UU reading www.uukanshu. com can tour the city’s centuries-old buildings, see charming canal houses and monuments along the river, and enjoy unparalleled views. Amsterdam from the water is arguably the most beautiful and interesting sight in the city.
However, the canals in this city are too long. “Xiaoyu, I was tricked by you again. Yesterday, I was a women’s clothing boss for a day. Today I have been pedaling for three hours. This canal is too long. When will it end?” Appreciation Although the scenery is good, it is too tired. “Let me step on it again. I don’t have the strength to exercise tonight!”
Du Xiaoyu blushed, “Okay, we’ve been playing for so long, let’s go ashore, it’s time for dinner.”
But when the two were about to go to a high-end French western restaurant, they were told that they could not enter. In this European country, dining is also very particular. Many high-end restaurants do not refuse to enter. At this time, Zhang Yong looks like he is sweating.
“Hmph, I won’t go if I don’t go. There’s a Seafood Bar over there, let’s go eat there.” It was rare that Zhang Yong knew the name of that shop, so he was particularly fond of it.
“Okay, how can I go to a city by the sea and not eat seafood once?” Du Xiaoyu said.
But the fact is that this store does not allow Zhang Yong to enter the market. Zhang Yong’s current appearance is too sloppy.
“It’s okay, I’ll go inside to eat, and I’ll pack the rest for you. You can wait for me by the river.” Du Xiaoyu comforted.

(Writing the novel as a travel note is quite boring. This chapter ends the tour ahead of schedule, and will return to the theme later.)
