Chapter 568 Livable City
Technical schools train technicians, while electrical technical schools train electricians. The purpose of Mbeya Electrical Technical School is also to train qualified electricians in East Africa.
In this era, electricians are definitely an extremely scarce job. As an emerging industry, there are very few cities in the world that have popularized electricity. Even most cities in Europe are still in the age of oil lamps and gas lamps. Naturally, electricians are also Not much.
Mbeya City has hired a total of more than 30 European veteran electricians this time. As a teacher at the Mbeya Electrical Technical School, the power industry has not been around for many years. It is not surprising how valuable these veteran electricians are. It goes without saying.
“Teachers, it will take two or three months before the school starts. The whole school is relatively empty, and the personnel and equipment are not complete for the time being. So I suggest that you don’t live in the school yet. The city government has arranged a house for you in the city, so you can prepare for your classes with peace of mind and wait until you return to school in September," said Rodman, director of the Municipal Education Bureau.
"Director Rodman, I am Adele Ross, a former employee of the Hechingen Electric Power Company. I would like to know if the dormitory can accommodate people now. I would like to live in the dormitory first?"
"Well! Adril Ross Sir, why do you want to live in a dormitory? Currently, the dormitory is not open to people. It’s not that the living facilities are not complete, but the dormitory is not popular except for the administrator, so if you are not very brave, you may be scared to live in the dormitory alone.”
Hearing Rodman’s description, Yardley. Ross shuddered, the space was really easy to cause discomfort.
So he hurriedly explained: "The main reason I don't want to run back and forth is that the house you assigned me is a long way from the school, so I was thinking about whether I could live in the dormitory directly, which would save money. A lot of time."
Director Rodman suddenly said: "So that's the reason, but Mr. Adrillos. Don’t worry, sir. As a teacher, you can apply for staff dormitories at school. You can report this issue to the school after the school starts. Anyway, it’s still some time before school starts. You can take care of your new residence in the city first. However, Yadri Mr. Ross, out of curiosity, I would like to ask, didn’t you bring your family this time?”
Adrilos: "You guessed it right. I did not bring my family to East Africa. After all, it has not stabilized yet, so naturally I will not let my family come over. This is one of the reasons why I want to live in the dormitory."
When Rodman heard this, he didn’t ask any more questions. He knew that Adrillos was not young, and he worked at the Hechingen Electric Power Company, so he must be a person with a small family background. He was probably as early as He has a family in Europe, and if he brings his family to East Africa, he won't have to think about living in a dormitory.
"Adrillos, I really envy you, if only I could live in the dormitory!" A colleague said to Adrillos.
"Well, Mr. Kafe, did you come to East Africa alone?"
"That's not true. I brought my wife with me, but I'm not afraid of your jokes. My wife actually You are afraid that I will wander around alone in East Africa, so you must come with me and look at me. Alas, from this incident you should know what kind of life I usually live.”
Rodman and others laughed unkindly after hearing this gentleman's words. Rodman consoled him: "This shows that your wife cares about you. After all, outsiders don't know much about the specific situation in East Africa. We in East Africa are not that good yet." Chaos."
"Haha, thank you Director Rodman for your explanation, but you don't understand my wife. Her desire to control is too strong. I regret it very much now. I was too naive before and was taken advantage of by her. I got it!"
No one said anything this time. After all, it involves personal life, and everyone is just acquainted with each other for the first time. You can't really think that his wife is a calculating person after just one word. Lie, how can I say this! It's not easy to judge, but since they are all married, there is no question of whether to cheat or not.
"Haha, sir, don't be too depressed. Today is your first time in Mbeya City, so we have specially prepared a banquet for you in the hotel. Starting at 7pm, you can bring your family. As for the location of the hotel, you can just ask, because there is only one hotel in Mbeya City, just to the west of the city hall. "
"Ah, there is only one hotel in Mbeya City? What if I’m just passing through Mbeya City and need accommodation? Can I come here if I’m busy?”
"You don't know this. Ordinary people in East Africa usually stay at inns when they go on business trips or the like. Inns are also equivalent to hotels. They used to be under the jurisdiction of the Postal Department, but now they are independent and dedicated to temporary residences." Rodman Everyone was puzzled by what he said, but they just came When they first arrived, it was normal to not know much about East Africa. This group of people first landed in the city of Dar es Salaam. On the surface, Dar es Salaam is almost the same as a European city. It is bustling with lights and entertainment. , but the city of Mbeya, which is far inland, is quite different.
“Not only does Mbeya City have only one hotel, but other entertainment venues are also very limited, but there are many pubs and restaurants.”
“What about casinos and brothels?”
“Not one.”
"Ah! Are you all saints in East Africa?"
"Haha, I'm talking about the formal ones. I don't know about the informal ones. But I'm afraid it's hard to find the irregular ones. After all, the risks are very high. .”
“The life in East Africa is too boring. It’s fun!”
“That’s not the case. Although there is no pornography, gambling, or drugs, there are many other entertainment events in East Africa, such as football matches, horse racing, vacations on Lake Malawi, etc.”< br>
“Football match?”
"East Africa attaches great importance to sports. The most popular sport is football. There is a football stadium on the outskirts of Mbeya that can accommodate more than 20,000 people. The population of Mbeya is only about 160,000. You should know Football is so popular, and there are more than a dozen large and small stadiums in Mbeya City, and there are more than 20 registered professional teams, and even more amateur teams.”
“Nama. What is the meeting? ”
“The Jockey Club is a relatively large gathering that starts in December every year and lasts for half a month. It mainly focuses on horse racing, polo, and shopping.”
“Is Lake Malawi that big lake on the map of East Africa?”
“Yes, I’m afraid there is no freshwater lake bigger than Lake Malawi in Europe. Mbeya City is It is on the north shore of Lake Malawi, so going to Lake Malawi for vacation is the most enjoyable activity for Mbeya people. There, families can camp, fish, taste Lake Malawi’s most famous fish soup, and have barbecues. The most distinctive features are boating and swimming. Because Lake Malawi is large and the scenery along the coast is almost the same as the sea, many Mbeya citizens like to take vacations there. ”
"Sounds pretty good."
"Of course, if you live in Mbeya for a long time, you can truly fall in love with this city. Mbeya can be described as spring-like all year round and picturesque scenery. Asian cities are most appropriate. I dare say that most cities in the world The city may not be more livable than Mbeya City, and Mbeya City is most proud of its extremely low crime rate. East Africa attaches great importance to public security and the quality of its residents is relatively high.”
