[Discussion] Asian drama influences on our real life

[cityhunter83]

LMAO! Things like this prove how much of an influence we are on our children as parents. I'm just dying laughing imagining The Prince saying "Aigoo!" in preschool. I'll have to teach him it's not okay to slap people in the back of the head though. That's not nice! *raises hand in air* Guilty as charged. *sigh*

my 5 yo is IN LOVE with TOP. she walks around singing 'turn it up' and 'fantastic baby'. i'm teaching her korean so i try to drop in basic voc. all the time.

I have a habit off bowing to anyone in site LOL which is kinda strange because I aint in korean and they will probley think im so kind of numpty LOL I also have a habit of saying aiggo and aish also mulla and alot of other words ive picked up xD

mostly its the bowing I do it without realizing xD

Oh great, thanks for this thread! The weirdest thing is this asian radar. Walking on a crowded street - bunch of europeans and I notice a person I think to myslef "Asian!" of course that my friends usually don't believe me so we have to make sure that my radar's working-incounspicuously looking at the person closer-and I'm right. It's getting kinda creepy..

I notice myself copying facial expressions and sometimes movements. It's weird because they might look good on the actors, but they look really weird and random when I do them. ^^''

Also I sometimes accidentally want to bow, too, when I'm meeting someone or apologizing to customers or something. I can always hold it back, though.

Sometimes I bow unconsciously. I was passing out programs for a graduation a week ago and I noticed that I was bowing as I said welcome.
I say "Aigoo", "Aish", and "Omo", and "Fighting" a lot.

From Gokusen, I often say "Fight-oh", and I say "osu" often too. From Nobuta, I do the "Nobuta Power Chunyuu" and I say "KELLY Shock!" too. (Yamapi is awesome, lol).
I eat with chopsticks, even with Western dishes, lol.

I make Vsigns when I have pictures taken of me as well, and I eat too much Japanese candy.

I just found a girl on Youtube who has taken the math problems from Suugaku Joshi Gakuen and broken them down into understandable terms, including the Peeping Tom problem.

Wow love this thread its funny how we can all relate.

I find myself slightly bowing all the time to customers. Especially when i see asians lol...funny thing is that a lot bow back.

I usually use omo, aish, tsk tsk. I used a lot of words unconsciously, my friends look at me like a weirdo. It sucks not having any of your real friends liking the things you like, cause they can't understand you.

When ever i can i try using chopsticks, all depends on what im eating. I love grocery shopping at the japanese/korean markets. I'm so happy when i find things i've seen in the dramas Find myself wanting white rice all the time, good thing i have a big rice cooker lol.

LOL, I do that too!! I stopped eating potatoes/spaghetti.. whatever. Just rice/rice noodles

Also, I started wearing skirts and knee-high socks and slowly transforming my outfits into something like a japanese school uniform (we're not required to wear any at my school) and friends keep saying I'm weird. Sadly enough, everyone wears jeans/t-shirt here. So bo-ring! >_<
