Perhaps because Fu Tiao came here to study for a degree as a performer, or for some other reasons, Fu Tiao was quickly released by the customs in Frankfurt, allowing him to enter the EU area from Frankfurt.

However, he may be the most relaxed person among the group of people traveling with him.

He didn't bring a lot of belongings with him, no laptop or tablet, just a very simple change of clothes and countless pieces of music.

The customs officials didn't understand the value of these scores, and they didn't know that this set could fetch at least a few thousand euros, so they just released Fu Tiao.

The man behind Fu Tiao was wearing very fashionable clothes and was holding an Apple watch, a tablet and a laptop. The situation was even worse.

Like Fu Diao, he came to Germany to study, but as soon as he arrived, he was taken over by the customs and asked to pay taxes.

Because his belongings will be used in Germany later, and he is not just here for tourism, so according to the laws of Germany, he has to pay taxes.

Fu Tiao hadn't gone far when he heard the man's screams and the German customs urging him to pay a fine of five to six hundred euros.

Does this count as experiencing the high taxes in Germany before entering Germany?

Fu Cao thought for a while and did not continue to wait here. He followed the crowd to the transfer point. After taking a short rest in the luxurious lounge of Lufthansa headquarters, he followed the plane to Berlin.

This was his first time coming to Berlin by plane, and the impression he made at Tagore Airport where he landed was not particularly good.

The first reaction when arriving at Tagore Airport is to confirm that this place is the Capital International Airport?

Fu Diao looked at the surrounding gray-black building structures and the small luggage waiting area, which was less than 100 square meters, and his mind was full of doubts.

All previous airports were super large airports. For example, he was at Haicheng Jiangdong International Airport. If he wanted to go to a place, he would have to run. The distance between many boarding gates was OK.

Describe it in kilometers.

That's called a big one.

Even the Frankfurt International Airport just now is not inferior in size and is still extremely empty.

But now, at Berlin Capital International Airport, also known as Tagore Airport, you can't see that sense of grandeur at all. What you have is just a small space.

After walking about fifty meters from the airport, he had already entered the terminal building. From the time he got out of the plane to the time he could get his luggage, it was only about two hundred meters away.

This was just an outrageous beginning, but what was even more outrageous was that before Fu Tiao even reached the luggage waiting area, he found that his luggage had already begun to move around on the luggage tray.

Convenient, fast, and...old, this was Fu Diao's first reaction to the Tagore International Airport.

However, being old is not a big problem. For Fu Diao, convenience and speed are the most important points.

From the time the plane stopped and landed, to when he got out of the plane, got his luggage, and left the terminal, it only took about ten minutes to complete everything.

Normally, this can only be seen at some small airports in China. Unexpectedly, I also saw this scene at the Capital International Airport in Germany.

However, just as Fu Diao was sighing, a young voice came from Fu Diao's ear.

"Fu Tiao!"

Fu Diao turned his head and looked, and saw a tall and thin man about 1.8 meters waving at him, running towards him quickly with a smile on his face, reaching out to take his luggage and said with a smile.

"Fu Tiao, I am a student of Principal Zhou San. Wu Tian, ​​Principal Zhou San should have told you about this, right? I'll pick you up at the airport and help you with some simple business in Germany.

...Speaking of Fu Tiao, do you know German?"

"Thank you." Fu Diao smiled at Wu Tian and then said: "As for German... I don't know how to speak it."

"Ah, I don't speak German... forget it, in fact, there is no problem if you don't speak German in Berlin and Frankfurt. After all, this is an international metropolis. You can live here easily even if you speak English.

But if you go to some small places, like... Hannover."

Wu Tian smiled and pointedly said: "If you go to Hanover, you have to speak German there. That place is a small city in Germany, just like when you go to a small city in China.

, it’s quite convenient for you to use English in Haicheng, but you really can’t use English when you go to small cities. Everyone is German, and there are some who speak English, but not too many.”

With that said, Wu Tian walked out of Tagore Airport with Fu Diao's luggage.

There is not much difference from what you see indoors. The scenery outside the Tagore Airport terminal is also a very familiar earthy color, with a hint of gray and black, giving people a foggy feeling.

While Fu Tiao was looking at the surrounding scenery, Wu Tian waved his hand, pointed to the passage on the side and said: "Fu Tiao, this way, go down this way, my car is parked below."

After that, he grabbed Fu Diao's bag and walked underground. Soon he came to an empty semi-underground garage with only a few small lights providing light.

It is said to be an underground garage, but it is actually on the ground.

It is not an underground garage, but it is completely under the airport terminal, with almost no lights, and a very thick gray and black, large and rough style building.

Wu Tian seemed to have been used to this for a long time. He threw Fu Diao's luggage into a four-seater, about two meters long small car with the sunlight reflecting in from the outside. He patted the roof of the car and faced Fu Diao.

joked.

"Come on, let's go, I'll take you to your house to have a look."

"House? Have you found a house for me?" Fu Diao was curious. He originally thought that Wu Tian just came to pick him up and take him from Tagore Airport to the center of Berlin.

After all, he had just taken a look around the airport and found no trace of the subway train at all.

It's like being isolated.

Wu Tian nodded matter-of-factly.

"Of course! Principal Zhou San reminded me specifically. Besides, if I didn't help you find a good house, do you plan to live in a hotel for a few months? It's not easy to find a house in Berlin. If you don't have inside information,

If you want to rent an apartment, you may have to go directly to Brandenburg. Even if you want to rent an apartment in the center of Berlin, you will have to pay extremely expensive fees."

After that, he went to the self-service payment machine to pay the fee, got into his car, and said to Fu Diao.

"But don't dislike my small car. After all, I am currently studying at the Berlin University of the Arts. It is very good for me to have such a car. There are not many rich people who can study in Germany. Most people are

Ordinary families have to work hard on their own."

"I don't mind it. After all, my family's situation is not good either."

Fu Diao shook his head slightly, got into the car, and followed Wu Tian out of Tagore Airport and walked towards the center of Berlin.

Small airports have the advantages of small airports, and large airports have the advantages of large airports.

This Tagore International Airport is just like what it shows. Although it has an international name, it is the fourth largest airport in Germany after Frankfurt, Munich and Dusseldorf.

But in reality, this is a small city airport.

It only took about fifteen minutes to walk from Tagore Airport to the center of Berlin.

There were also some hours of traffic jams in the city center.

Before Fu Diao could react, he found that he had arrived at Potsdamer Platz, near where he ate pork knuckle last time.

Everything around him became clear, including the Brandenburg Gate in the distance, Potsdamer Platz, and the golden-lit Berlin Philharmonic Hall. Everything was connected.

Fu Tiao was stunned and couldn't help but ask Wu Tian: "By the way...how far is it from Tagore Airport to the city center?"

"It's not that far, right? If it's Brandenburg Airport, which is the airport that hasn't been built yet and is about to transfer Tagore's functions, it might be much further. I remember it would be more than thirty or forty kilometers.

Yes, but Tagore Airport is Berlin’s international airport, and it’s only about seven or eight kilometers away from where we are now, so it’s not too far.”

"Seven or eight kilometers..."

Fu Diao didn't know what to say for a while.

Again, a small airport has its advantages.

Although Tagore Airport is ugly, featureless and gray everywhere, it always feels a bit shabby and does not have the majesty of an international airport.

but……

Tagore Airport is small!

It only takes two to three hundred meters from coming out to getting the bag. Isn’t it better than those who need to run one or two kilometers to get the luggage?

The drive from the city center to Tagore Airport is only seven or eight kilometers, and it only takes about ten minutes to drive there. If there is no traffic jam, it can even take about ten minutes. This is no more than half the time it takes to drive from the city center to the airport.

More than an hour is stronger than an hour?

Although those large airports are bright and impressive, the number of planes they accommodate every day starts from thousands to thousands, and planes land every minute.

But isn't such a small airport more convenient or more comfortable than those big airports?

Originally, Fu Diao's first impression of Tagore Airport was not very good, but now that he feels the convenience, Fu Diao no longer has many thoughts.

He just felt that it would be great to have Tagore Airport here in Berlin.

only……

While the car was waiting at the red light near Potsdamer Platz, Wu Tian sighed helplessly.

"But Tagore Airport will be gone soon. It is said that Tagore Airport will be demolished in 2012 and then replaced with Schonefeld Airport near Brandenburg."

"2012? No, it's not 2016 now..." Fu Diao didn't understand.

Wu Tian explained over there:

"Yes, the original plan was to demolish it in 2012, but as you know the efficiency of the Germans, they always want to design some beautiful and super strong buildings, such as the Elb Concert Hall and the Stuttgart Train

station, but the actual construction capacity is not up to what they thought, so it is obvious that the construction deadline has been delayed again and again. It has been delayed for four years, and no one knows how much longer it can be delayed, but it is probably soon."

Speaking of this, he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly laughed and said: "Oh, by the way, the only one of the three major architectural unfinished jokes in Germany that has been successfully built now is probably the Elb Concert Hall in Hamburg. As for the Stuttgart Railway Station...

It's not even a prototype yet, and it may take more than ten years to be built. I recently heard that the budget has been increased by 20 billion, but when it was smashed in, I couldn't even hear a sound, tsk tsk."

"And Berlin's airport...not to mention, it may be built soon, I don't know..."
To be continued...
