Recently, I’ve been cleaning my room. I found out that i still kept those japanese drama box set. Examples – The Innocent Witch a.k.a Mo Nv Zi Tiao Jian, With Love, Strawberry on Shortcake, Bing Zi Shi Jie, Beach Boys Special Edition… etc
But there’s this drama caught my attention. It’s called
‘Friends’, a collaboration of korean & japanese drama casted by
Won Bin &
Kyoko Fukada. They used to be my idols last time. You know ler, last time when my secondary school age. Everybody is not talking about TVB, their not discussing about taiwanese drama Meteor Garden too. All of them were crazy boiling the japanese drama like GTO, Beach Boys etc… So i was 1 of them. Hahaha
Okay, let’s continue with this drama. I still remembered this drama was meant to show the collaboration between the 2 countries, Korea & Japan. That time dunno what football event between these 2 countries, then this drama was made. Well, it’s a story about bringing two people from very different cultures together. Kim Ji Hoon (Wonbin) runs into Asai Tomoko (Kyoko Fukada) in Hong Kong and sparks begin flying from there…
This drama reminds me of a similar incident that i encountered at Taipei with 2 of my colleagues. I still remembered 3 of us was taking the MRT back to San Want Hotel after shopping & eating at Shihlin Market. In the MRT, there was these 3 japanese sitting opposite facing us. They were so funny wearing the colorful spec which bought from Shilin Market i guess. Me & 2 colleagues can’t control ourselves and keep laughing. 3 japanese were laughing at us too and here comes the ice breaker. We took photos in the MRT and started our conversation in English. Honestly, their English is very weak. But they were very friendly and cheerful. Hahaha.
The ’show-off’ me, of course I speak with them with my japanese language.
“Sumimasen, Nihongo Wa Sukoshi Dake Deki Mas”. It means ‘I’m sorry, I do know a little japanese only’. Wahahaha… Finally i got the chance to use this sentense. But actually this is the
ONLY sentence i know besides those Baka, Arigatou, Wakata… etc. Hahaha.
We talked, talked & talked until we missed the station. All of us are supposed to stop at Taipei Main Station. But we were so crazy acting funny & questioning, we dont realised we missed the station too. Then we all stop at the next station and sit back to Taipei Main Station. We asked a taiwanese stranger to take photos for us.
Arghhh… when thinking back this incident, I felf so happy. Meeting foreigners in a foreign country is always what i hope for. Hahaha. Below is the photo we took at Taipei Main Station.
