Right now in Asia a song called, "Sorry Sorry" by a Korean music group called Super Junior is a big hit. We've been told that in Korea people sincerely love the song and the music video that goes with it. However, here in Taiwan, people like to make fun of the song and the dance. Recently, a group of Taiwanese comedians (similar to the comedians who act on "Saturday Night Live" in the US...they often impersonate politicians and celebrities) appeared on an entertainment show pretending to be Super Junior and performed the "Sorry Sorry" song and dance. After the show aired, almost everyone in Taiwan became familiar with the song. Now, we hear and see people of all ages singing and dancing to "Sorry Sorry"! :)

Hey guys,
ReplyDeleteThis blog is AWESOME! It was so fun reading about all the differences between the culture there and MN. And Phil, you are a great blogger, I was laughing out loud when I read about your teachers names and your name in Chinese :) Annalicia, Kels and I had lunch with Jess last week on our way back to Calgary to drive Kelsey home and we heard all about your hospital visit (I hadn't been on the internet lately to read about it) and I'm so so glad that everything turned out okay! After the fact it's probably a cool experience to look back on, but during, I'm sure it was scary. Sounds like you both handled it very well and I'm sure you're both much more confident about handling situations now.
What a sweet experience! Thanks for including so many cool pictures! And what a funny music video :) Loved hearing about the hike too! Thinking about you often! I'll check in soon!

ps...we took Maggie to a Velodrome Bike Race a couple weeks ago before Kelsey left and all had a great time...youtube it if you haven't heard of it before, it's pretty intense and we saw a couple of crazy falls since the fast males get up to 45mph on a pretty small track.
I thought the Sorry Sorry song was kind of catchy...I can definately see why it's so popular :)
