Since life is short and the world is wide, the sooner you start exploring it, the better. 既然人生是如此短暫、世界是如此寬廣,你越早開始探索它越好。
My good friend Nora in Barcelona always says she loves Monaco. To my knowledge, Monaco is the smallest country in the world if you exclude the Vatican. It's a popular tourist destination due to its proximity to the French Riviera and tax free status. It's also the place where the rich and famous come - full of luxurious hotels, resorts and casinos. It also only takes 23 minutes from Nice to Monte-Carlo by train. So I decided to check it out myself before I left Europe.
我在巴塞羅那的好友Nora總是說她好愛摩納哥,據我所知摩納哥是盡在梵蒂岡之后最小的國家,他是非常著名的旅游勝地因為它靠近法國里維埃拉和免稅地位。還是有錢人和有名認識愛來的地方,因為這里滿滿都是奢華酒店、度假村還有賭場。而且從尼斯只要搭火車23分鐘就可以到,所以我決定在我離開歐洲前一定要看看。
Aside from the luxurious atmosphere I immediately noticed after I got off the train, in 5 minutes, I immediately got a text message that my cell phone was roaming and I was being charged for 60 euros. That time, I had a phone number from Spain and the data plan says it covers most of the European countries. Oh well, Monaco is not included in the plan. 我一下火車之后馬上就注意到非常奢華的氣氛,但不到五分鐘,我的手機有一條短信告訴我我的手機因為漫游被索取了60歐元。那個時候因為我又一只來自西班牙的電話號碼,資費方案有包括大多的歐洲國家,但摩納哥并不包含在內。
So, just be aware that when traveling across borders in Monaco and in Switzerland. Turn your phone’s roaming off. Otherwise, don’t be surprised when you go home and see a huge phone bill! I hope my unfortunate experience will help you when you plan your next trip to Europe. 所以當你在歐洲橫跨國界一定要小心了,特別是在摩納哥和瑞士邊界旅行的時候。否則千萬不要驚訝當你回家了看到一個超額的賬單!我希望我不幸的經驗可以幫助你下一次計劃去歐洲的旅行。
