The real life of ocean crew

Ocean crew are a group of people who are not concerned, away from the noise, away from the feasting, away from the relatives of the motherland, and the real life of ocean crew;

1, the sea is isolated from the rest of the world, and life is boring: sailors go out to sea with ships, big ships sail on the high seas, away from land, and there is no signal on mobile phones, which is completely isolated. Looking at the endless sea all day, life is very monotonous. When a big ship goes out to sea, it usually takes a long time to travel and it can't communicate with the outside world. The feeling of loneliness is unbearable for many people. Especially for young people who can't get online without a mobile phone, such a life is simply hell, and naturally not many people are willing to do it.

2. Cigarettes are a necessity for many seamen: seamen's life is dull and boring, and they basically do the same job every day, so there is a great demand for cigarettes. Hong Kong Double Happiness is the duty-free RMB in 32 yuan. Generally speaking, there are no bad cigarettes, such as Furong Wang, Yuxi and Zhonghua. In fact, they are all available, and they are much cheaper than those in China because they are tax-free.

3. Drink mineral water: The voyage takes a long time, so there is a great demand for drinking water. Due to the poor water quality on board and the long storage time of fresh water, many sailors like to buy mineral water to drink, which is convenient and healthy. Every time I go shopping on shore, the crew will buy a lot, and basically everyone will buy several pieces or more. The price of water is slightly more expensive than that of domestic supermarkets, but the demand is still great. You can also buy some milk, Fanta, cola and other drinks for a change.

4, wine and snacks: wine is actually buying some foreign wine, such as Brazilian wine, the price is not high, but the taste is good. Whisky is mainly used to exchange things in some countries, such as fish and shrimp, telephone cards and so on, especially Indonesia, which likes wine because it is forbidden in Indonesia. Needless to say, snacks and the like are just snacks to drink, except cookies to satisfy hunger.

5. International roaming traffic: The key point is that ocean-going ships only have satellite signals during navigation, which are expensive, with a speed of only 2G, and only a few ships are installed. It is said that surfing the Internet for one hour 10 dollars. Therefore, sailing or stopping for supplies in coastal areas is the happiest time for seafarers. Many seafarers make video calls with their families or download some movies or e-books through their mobile phones or tablets. With these companions, alcohol and tobacco can be reduced during the voyage. After all, health is also very important.
