Abilities I should win a medal for: staring into the middle distance. Dithering over a sandwich choice. But above all, getting lost. Usually, I embrace this. I like getting lost in Paris or Venice; Brazil’s Olympics 2016 city, not so much. 我在某些方面也很迷糊,比如会盯着远处发呆,会为选择一块三明治而犹豫不决,最糟糕的是经常迷路。通常我觉得这还不错,我喜欢在巴黎或威尼斯迷失方向,但在2016年奥运会主办城市里约迷路,那还是算了吧! I was last in Rio de Janeiro over a decade ago when First Choice was experimenting with package holidays there. 我上一次到里约还是十年前,那时首选航空正在这里试行团体旅游。 It was quite a short experiment while, as there were – and still are – some great resort hotels around Salvador in the east, the rest of the country wasn’t quite ready for package tourism. Especially Rio. 然而试行持续时间很短,因为这里除了东部的萨尔瓦多有些还不错的度假酒店外,其余地方的条件都不足以进行团体旅游。如今,这一情况尚未改变,一切都还照旧。尤其是里约热内卢。 |
