Day 4: October 18. With domestic Sudan, as is the weekly five days, two days of the holidays, but Sudan's holidays are Friday and Saturday, the Friday is a week in the most important day of prayer, Saturday is the real rest days. I do not know this morning not to pray, or run for several days, today not tired during routine prayers sound to wake up, eyes actually almost 8 points. Rush of wash and go down to the restaurant, today no one has to eat, it seems that we have not yet. Wander out of the gate hotel, quiet streets, gone past this time traveling back and forth, walking in the local population, to Sudan four days this is my first time to feel the quiet morning in Sudan. Until today I feel original Khartoum morning was so cool, mission leader in Xinjiang worked as Deputy Head of science and technology, he explained: this is a typical desert climate. In the desert, due to cloud cover less, sunshine, and the lack of vegetation, air humidity, so the temperature rise very quickly. And in the evening because all night cloudless, ground radiation, thermal soon, night temperatures drop rapidly. But while Khartoum is located in the tropics, but still very obvious desert climate, it can be said that every morning is the coolest time of Khartoum. This schedule is visited Khartoum, on the outskirts of a food processing plant. And many of the private enterprise, although today is the holidays, but the factory without rest. 10 a.m. departure from the hotel, visit the finish back to the hotel is less than 12 points. This is most easily in a few days to the day, head of the recommendations in the afternoon to look at Khartoum's appearance, the way to European Street shopping. Thus, 4 p.m. temperature slightly lower, in a company Manager and two live Su accompanied by staff, we arrived in Khartoum, the most representative Street Blue Nile Riverside Avenue. Enjoy a world of furnace of Khartoum's tropical desert city scenery. Sudan is Africa's largest country in the world, one of the most hot, its capital Khartoum means "elephant's nose", with a population of nearly 600 million. Blue, White River Junction in Khartoum to go, rather like beiliu elephant nose, Khartoum and therefore. Its terrain and Wuhan alike, is composed of three towns, namely, Khartoum, Khartoum North and Omdurman, three towns are connected with bridge between. Khartoum is green, white and two at the crossroads of the Nile, the climate is hot and dry, the March to November, the day a go, scalding heat waves just blowing, like stepping into the sauna room, often go for a walk by 10 o'clock in the evening, the ground is still distributed array of heat. 4, may come from the Sahara desert dust storm ravaged season, wind volume with tons of dust coming on, and a scraping huntianheidi days. To me the yellow sand pervasive, housing, also feel the array again, or even sometimes sleep will be holding back. The 7-, 8-month rainy season, the occasional downpour, after the heavy rain, not the entire city sewers everywhere, as a "water swamps". In winter, the heat is gone, when the fresh air, high visibility, can safely breathe deeply, night sky, stars, the Moon is visible, as if in close proximity. Now this season is the Sultan's autumn season, although Daytime temperature while than domestic summer even higher, but the humidity is small, so it is not like domestic summer midday heat to hide, so you can say that Sudan is better season. Car along the Blue Nile North Riverside Boulevard all the way, after the Presidential Palace. In the friendship Palace near the car stopped, the friendship Palace is the beginning of the 20th century built in the 1970s, the Africa's third-largest Convention Center in the area of 2.47 million square meters, is the President's Office and Government convened important meetings and celebrations. Looking at this now can be said is still magnificent building, in the early 1970s within the context of such a magnificent building in the country is also very rare, it is sufficient to show the witness China and Sudan's friendship. Car park off full of cars, I accompanied to the company's managers have to ask what the Sudanese have existed after the heart of the issue of Sudan car licence numbers? listen to what the Manager's introduction I know: the original has been recognized by the universal "1, 2, 3 ... ..." The original is not authentic Arabic numerals. I want to first came to the Sudan, Arab friends may fix and I have the same experience. I used the camera for a few sites under licence, and you will come to meet the real Arabic numeral? read photos, if not I sell now has the barges described above symbol representations of numbers that you may not know it? understanding the authentic Arabic really is is the Africa of a windfall. In the grace of three a Khartoum tumus Nile side of a park and open-air restaurant for the rest, we see a pair of lovers or sit on the grass in the shade or concealed. It seems that whatever country, rich or not, whether or not the war, love is the eternal theme of mankind. What the manager told us, always feel now Sudan should and domestic ' 60s when there is a certain similarity, it is the people's happiness index should be the highest. Although the country is still very poor, living substance not rich, but people are carved up Department in Bliss dreamed of a better life. Figure 8: Nile side of Sudan lovers, maybe the couple. Days are dark, lanterns, Nile side view more charming. Delegation suggested that this won't go to European Street, he came to be a host, the Chinese meal over a Chinese cuisine, enjoy a good, as well as on a company Entourage's thank you. This of course did not oppose the proposal. Automobile as traffic goes up in the street in Khartoum, in a quiet street top stopped, there is no any sign of court yard. Walk into court yard, where the decoration is like domestic Spring Festival, the upheavals of the Chinese red cloth and let the line of all people have a way to a feeling of home. Chair, head of the dishes, I would also like to a menu, of course, is not to help with your order, but rather to see the menu and what is the difference in China. Read it from beginning to end, the recipes and domestic is actually the difference is not found, the callout prices and domestic, from tens of dollars up to, only unit to replace the Sudanese pounds. Because theCountries with the various benefits and may be around us $ 100, the price that we also cannot accept. In the finished dish, head of the point, it is proposed that everyone is after is not a drink, say their piece, from start to present 4, 5 days, it really is not soaked in alcohol. Just learned early on in the Sudan it is illegal to drink alcohol, all wines are bought from the black market, prices are high. Ask the waiter did Lite Red Star er Guo TOU, ask also really. But ask the price, we are immediately dismissed the idea of drinking. Of course, return to the country I more than once let colleagues guess in Sudan, this er Guo TOU price, even though I tip my colleagues bold to high guess, or a person who does not have to guess. See here do not know if you can guess, you guess in domestic worths RMB er Guo TOU here should be able to sell to $ 65. However, since the head of the guests, not what treat drinking? last tour suggestions, each person or drink to the tank beer? but it can of beer in each Hall 10 dollar prices also let me in a room, not have the heart to drink it again. To Sudan have, through various means of wine shipped to Sudan profits, it seems that this statement is true. In fact, almost too good to drink the price factor is not the most important, even if you have high drink consumption. Even the main reason is to respect the religious habit in Sudan, as the meal we had to take the Soviet party car returned to the hotel, puke on hard to accompany us for several days, will also continue to accompany us complete itinerary of Sudanese driver friend is not respected. Or temporary withdrawal of wine, a few days back and enjoy the drink you? (to be continued)
