1235 旅行要趁早 ｜ 一个在摩纳哥得到的小教训

*封面来自网络，标题为：An expensive nap 昂贵的午觉

Since life is short and the world is wide, the sooner you start exploring it, the better. 既然人生是如此短暂、世界是如此宽广，你越早开始探索它越好。

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. 

我在巴塞罗那的好友Nora总是说她好爱摩纳哥，据我所知摩纳哥是尽在梵蒂冈之后最小的国家，他是非常著名的旅游胜地因为它靠近法国里维埃拉和免税地位。还是有钱人和有名认识爱来的地方，因为这里满满都是奢华酒店、度假村还有赌场。而且从尼斯只要搭火车23分钟就可以到，所以我决定在我离开欧洲前一定要看看。

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. 我一下火车之后马上就注意到非常奢华的气氛，但不到五分钟，我的手机有一条短信告诉我我的手机因为漫游被索取了60欧元。那个时候因为我又一只来自西班牙的电话号码，资费方案有包括大多的欧洲国家，但摩纳哥并不包含在内。

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. 所以当你在欧洲横跨国界一定要小心了，特别是在摩纳哥和瑞士边界旅行的时候。否则千万不要惊讶当你回家了看到一个超额的账单！我希望我不幸的经验可以帮助你下一次计划去欧洲的旅行。
