Chapter 48: Common Topics
Wang Taika is not a person who likes to waste food, but he will not force himself for things that are really difficult to swallow, so he put this fish plate rice aside and said helplessly: "I still drink bar." ”
"Didn't you mix your own bartender today?" Parney quipped.
"If you want to drink it, I'd love to!" Wang Taika's eyes were dangerous.
Pani thought of the "unhesitating" wine last time, that is, chili water, which was so unpleasant that it exploded, so he pouted with disgust: "Forget it." ”
"Haha. Wang Taika smiled: "I can't drink 'Don't Forget It' today, otherwise I can still invite you to have a drink." Pani."
Pani saw Wang Taika's expression, and said helplessly: "It's Pani, that's right." ”
"No, I just reacted, I don't seem to say honorifics!I'm sorry, how did I forget" Wang Taika reacted at this time, he has always called him by his name.
Pani smiled suddenly: "It's okay, foreigners are okay like this, they can understand it." And I don't particularly care about that. Don't take it personally. ”
"yes, Pani is American, isn't he?" asked Wangtaka, "Where?"
"I was born in San Francisco," Parney laughs. ”
"Oh, San Francisco!" Wang Taika nodded.
San Francisco is a rather unique place because the official name of the city is somewhat controversial. In the absence of a clear official policy, the usage is a bit confusing.
** and the U.S. State Department both use "San Francisco." Today, most of the foreign affairs offices in the city with an official Chinese name use "San Francisco."
In the official documents and maps of the Celestial Empire, it is mostly called "San Francisco", but the official website of the San Francisco City Government and its subordinate municipal units at all levels uses the Chinese version of the two different translations of "San Francisco" and "San Francisco", and there is no consistent standard.
This phenomenon is also generally reflected in the usage habits of the Chinese community living in the city. The most famous should still be "San Francisco", because Bruce Lee also worked hard in this city.
Wang Taika prefers to call it "St. Francis" because it is a bit similar to the name of the city in the game "Grand Theft Auto" that he played when he was a student, so it has a very strong sense of being called it. Well, Wang Taika himself knows that this is boring!
Looking at Wang Taika's familiar appearance, Pani asked, "Where did Wang PD live?"
"Hmm. Wang Taika nodded: "I spent a little time in the United States, and I also went to shoot St. Francis." ”
Pani was even more curious: "What to shoot?"
"The time-lapse of the Golden Gate Bridge, but you probably don't know, not many people actually pay attention to this aspect. Wang Taika shrugged.
"Yes, I really don't know. Parney smiled.
"But it's a nice city, sun, sand and coast. Wang Taika smiled: "Although you were born there, you may not know as much as me." ”
Pani smiled, "How is that possible? You can ask, I know what is there." ”
Wang Taika deliberately teased Pani: "Oh, then tell me about the climatic characteristics of San Francisco!"
"Huh?" Pani was stunned!

"Haha, didn't you say you knew everything!" Wang Taika laughed.
"I'm talking about where there's fun, where there's good food. How do I know what the climate is like!" Pani retorted, "That's a nuisance! No, it's a trick to punish you for drinking!"
Snowball listened to it even more confused: "Huh?"
"Don't, just kidding. Wang Taika hurriedly said: "Okay, I know that people when they are young are not easy to mess with." It's also a penalty for drinking, I didn't say it before!"
"Then you didn't ask!" Pani grabbed the handle of the king, and then beckoned the waiter to bring a few bottles of beer and put them on the table.
Wang Taika was helpless: "Can you discuss it?"
Parney smiled, "Okay, what did you just ask? You can tell it yourself, I count you as good." There is no need to drink this wine. ”
"Can't you stop me, I go to shoot time-lapse photography without first investigating the environment?" Wang Taika laughed: "St. Francis is surrounded by water on three sides, affected by the cold current of California in the Pacific Ocean, and has a typical Mediterranean climate. Due to the long-term influence of the sea breeze, there is very little rain in the summer, and although it is cold in the winter, there is little snowfall. How?"
Parney smiled, "I don't know if it's true or not, but it doesn't matter." ”
"Are you kidding? Hey, I thought I was going to be drunk. Wang Taika smiled: "Pani still goes home a lot now, right? After all, everyone in the family should be in the United States, right?"
Pani picked up the wine glass for a moment, then recovered as before, and looked at Wang Taika with a smile: "Well, I'm busy with work, and I haven't been back to the United States for a while." ”
"Don't you want to be in the family?" Wang Taika asked, "After all, you are alone in South Korea, you will also be worried, right?"
Pani shrugged with a smile and didn't answer, but changed his tone and asked, "How long did Wang PD live there?"
"I really don't like the big cities in the eastern part of the United States. I've visited a few cities on the West Coast. Some places worth filming in the United States are also relatively close to this side. But let's be honest now, the housing prices in St. Francis are too expensive, and those cities are the most expensive. The economic crisis has not been crushed, and I am really convinced. ”
Listening to Wang Taika's complaints, Pani couldn't help but laugh: "Have you bought a house?
Wang Taika shook his head: "No, I like my motherland very much, so I don't plan to breathe the free air of the Lighthouse Country." Even if I bought it, it wouldn't work, and I wouldn't be there for long. And you also know how to buy a house in the United States, all kinds of taxes or something. Annoyed to death. ”
Pani and Wangtaika have found a common language, and they haven't been back to the United States for so long, in fact, Pani also wants to go back and see. But if you go back privately, you will inevitably be pestered by some people who can't help it, so except for work reasons, Pani rarely runs around.
When I was young, Stupid Card was also from the United States, but in fact, Stupid Card and Pani were a little uncalled. It's not that there are any contradictions, they get along very well, it's just that there was a bit of overlap in the personalities when they debuted, which led to the fact that the two of them are a little too polite now, and of course it's impossible to talk heart-to-heart.
This time he met Wang Taika, and Pani was able to relieve his homesickness and find a common topic. The two of them talked about housing prices from the Golden Gate Bridge, then from housing prices to the last economic crisis, and then from the economic crisis to what to eat in San Francisco.
Pani is a pastry controll, especially fond of ice cream, so he began to give the queen a science of St. Francis where to find a good ice cream shop.
The two of them became more and more happy, and only the snowball on the side was left drinking drinks, and the food was tasteless
