Sabeu quan aneu de compres amb una amiga i a les dues us agrada el mateix jersei? Us el compreu? Jo a vegades ho he deixat córrer (no m'agrada vestir el mateix que una altra persona... fins i tot a vegades veig gent vestida igual que jo pel carrer i em va una mica de vergonya ser tan poc original!). O per a aquells no interessats en roba... us ha agradat mai la mateixa (persona/lloc de treball/ última patata brava al plat) que als vostres amics, i ho heu deixat córrer? Sí, a vegades una retirada a temps és una victoria, més que res per evitar mals majors. Aquí a Corea hi ha gent que no pensa així, i estic ben segura que si s'han de comprar un jersei igual ho fan, perquè a Gangnam (el barri pijo del sud de riu), no tenen cap problema en anar a comprar amb les amigues i comprar-se el mateix. Comprar-se el què? Ara ho veureu....
You know that horrible situation when you go shopping with a friend and both of you like the same shirt? Would you buy it? I usually let it go (I hate wearing the same clothes as someone else...even sometimes I see people in the street wearing like me and I feel embarassed of being so conventional!). Or for that people not interested in clothes... have you ever liked the same person/job/ last pizza slice as your friends, and you let it go? Yes indeed, sometimes a withdrawal in time is a victory, mainly for sparing oneself of bigger problems. In Korea there's people who don't think like this, and I'm sure they WOULD BUY the same shirt, because in Gangnam (neighbourhood of south of the river), they don't have any problem in going shopping with her friends and buying the same thing. Which thing? You will see...
Van comprar-se la mateixa cara! Això sí que és amistad. Us puc assegurar que tenen pares diferents... Ara entenc perquè aquí a corea als amics els anomenen "germà" o "germana". De petits sempre somiem que els nostres millors amics són els nostres germans, i ja veieu, amb l'ajuda del bisturí els vostres somnis es poden tornar realitat. Suposo que d'aquest post podem treuren una lliçó ben clara: si vas a comprar-te una cara nova, ves-hi sol. ( I assegura't d'anar a un lloc diferent que les teves amigues, no sigui que el proper cop que us trobeu tingueu una sorpresa).
They bought the same face! That's real friendship! I can assure you that they have different parents...Now I understand why koreans call friends "sister" or "brother". When we are young we sometimes dream our best friends are our siblings, and as you can see, with a little help from a scalpel all your dreams can come true. The moral of all this is clear: if you are going to buy a new face, go alone. (And make sure to go to a different place than all your friends, or maybe next time you could be surprised).
