16 July 2004
This is the Netherlands Eindhoven's third weekend. my explore European tour was finally taken a substantial first step-the idea of travel have been circled, but with my colleague that haven't sure Thursday Friday whether you can get multiple entry visa (that do not know can not be out of the Netherlands) in my repeated channeling Skate 's, came to go off, workmate yunzhiru fly a mess, knock, Hertz's confirmation of interfaces has finally jumped out. at this point we do not know where to go, the first car rentals down.
The first two weeks was not idle. first investigated the European low-cost airlines .Southwest everyone familiar, but Europe cheap airline I really no impression. check on the Internet, it is said that there are as many as 20 home-large Ryania, Germanwings, air travel was really-just sell 0.99 Europe even free (not including tax)-finally understand why the scaring with 3000 dollars around the world. Unfortunately, Ah, to steal the votes, ahead of a few months of scheduled flights, and the General requirements on weekdays. eye looked at Rome from Germany Dartmond fly tickets free (August to October), is not the time, of desperation?
The other chooses should train the European possess several continents, probably the most dense railway network, all you want to go, there is no train to not fare, but the train system is more complex, with each country's own railway company, as well as their respective policies, European coat-tail, there are also General train and the distinction between high-speed trains, as well as day trips and overnight train difference. head get big (all them in German, Dutch website, you can not read it), nor the whole understand how to buy cheap train tickets.
Just think, simply self-driving. check the car rental company's Web site.,? 80 euro a day, the tongue must not fall out, it was. think of a way-look at the company's Travel Policy, OK, Hertz is the company's global partner-you can get company Hertz-then check the price, the price can be used for company employees in tourism and leisure on the .30-Europe day, package insurance, 1.2 mini car of the lift, this also more or less the same.
Going back to the same colleague at Friday afternoon return to visa, smooth, you can "go abroad," I find destinations. reviewing the point, Cologne. sounds familiar, OBI, former President of China, I listened to his presentation, just take the Ph.D at the University of Cologne, come to think of it, before lunch time-where to print the map to find attractions. Finally work, push with colleague flying to Hertz (my bike was broken, Hei Hei ...).
Hertz hours a 6 point difference, finally arrived at the Hertz's colleagues in the Office., I half an hour walk to, a brand new Ford Fusion has stopped at the door, my colleagues had just completed procedures. cool twisted!, you know, we in the online-but the cheapest that two people two doors of small insects like small cars (Mercedes-Benz factory out of Smart Model, then the road will see many) which could be immediate, hatchback Ford than Elysee, what's cool Polo. from now on, the car may be under the control of us.Time is still early to come to live in it-"near Nanjing Road pedestrian street" is the lack of free parking in the parking meter charges-to 9 p.m. free. only after a combined with my colleagues, simply to take up cars-colleagues in this time it took before going abroad according to my is according to later didn't had manual transmission car. United States open are automatic rail, according to the United States also use automatic rail car on the down-trembling, we both fresh "the road killers" hit the Shanghai's 400 training school application fee really value for money, punch system has indeed guarantees quality-2000 than my colleagues the oceans science out of Guangdong strong drivers. I fire at the traffic light at die n times (n tend to infinity), causing the sound piece behind di (sweat!), the press table.
In lost countless road, died after countless times, we finally fire back to the car park at night, on weekends-free car-park full of cars-look, lucky to have a parking with colleague suddenly from fantasy, inverted. I get off, changing her twisted right-hand on left, bang bang the throttle placed, the car still in place, when I walk a police car quietly came along to be the same. colleagues finally reversed the car into the parking space, a man and a woman, two policemen from the car to drill out.
"Miss, you have a driver's license?", the police officer to ask questions.
Together with colleague speaks the usual fast English to tell her that a driver's license, China, but in the apartment, apartment was nearby and so on., woman is suspected arc disregard her, start with the ATM, "Yangtze River, the Yangtze River, I'm calling the yellow" scuffle with us-see colleagues reversing, suspected she was driving without a license is now heard of is-China driving license, do not know what this thing can not be used in the Netherlands but fear Yangtze River "," is already asleep, a single woman so no reaction. no patience dwell, tell her, I believe you drive carefully, since then the two drove away.
First dealings with the Netherlands police, very interesting. attitude is very kind, never mellows. and I am surprised that they wanted to search documents with colleague have Passport, driving license or something back into the apartment-agitated, the Hertz car rental show them alone, but also to muddle through., this is not the country was driving without a license? Netherlands police attitude is good, professional quality may not a. According to my understanding, the national driver's license in the Netherlands is not able to use this point in the Netherlands the competent institutions of the traffic law Web site made it very clear that the police is not clear, but not verified. Oh, cheap us.
By the way, in theory, China driving
As in the United States (individual, different) and Europe is not a legitimate use of documents available, because the Chinese Government has not been signed, and any such Protocol. is a clear evidence of the police in China is never recognized any other State driver's license of course, there are exceptions such as the United States, California-California law provides that any national legal license in California can be used in addition, there is no so-called international universal "international driver's license" certain intermediaries. domestic Chinese nationals and charge d'affaires of the so-called international driving license is actually "Ocean false documents" charges expensive., essentially a piece of paper in the United States and Europe-do exist international driving license, because the global more than 60 countries have signed an agreement in the mutual recognition of driving licence. differing, the national language of the citizen go to the other agreement countries, should bring their own license management authority of English certificate. this English certificate called international driver's license-the so-called international driving license must be national driver's license at the same time use is made valid. China since not in this agreement, China's Police Department and of course will not produce English certificate. Chinese citizens would not likely get what "international driver's license".Of course, practice, Chinese driving license in many places you can rent a car this colleague car rental, car rental company even English translation without reading, because they were thinking are each responsible for their actions; he leased to you later, anyway, what are you carrying, he is no matter of the use of Chinese-driving abroad car rental on the biggest risks is the insurance may be invalid. even bought insurance that really happened, insurance companies will refuse to recognize Chinese driving license to jupei. does not have a valid insurance, people probably rarely pay affordable car, let alone mention compensation for personal injuries.
