Reboot the heyday

Chapter 1104 Common Topics
Wang Taika is not a person who likes to waste food, but when it comes to things that are really hard to swallow, he will not force himself, so he puts the fish plate rice aside, and said helplessly: "I'll still drink."

"Aren't you mixing your own drinks today?" Pani quipped.

"If you want to drink, I am willing!" Wang Taika's eyes were very dangerous.

Pani thought of the last glass of "no turning back" wine, which was chili water, so bad that it exploded, so he curled his lips in disgust: "Forget it."

"Haha." Wang Taika said with a smile: "I can't drink 'Don't forget' today, otherwise I can still buy you a drink. Pani... ah."

Seeing Wang Taika's expression, Pani said helplessly, "It's Pani, that's right."

"No, I just realized that I didn't seem to say honorifics! I'm sorry, why did I forget." Wang Taika realized now that he always called him by his first name.

Pani suddenly smiled: "It's okay, foreigners are nothing like this, I can understand it. And I don't particularly care about these. Don't take it to heart."

"Yes, Pani is American, right?" Wang Taika asked, "Where is it?"

"I was born in San Francisco," Paney laughed.

"Oh, San Francisco!" Wang Taika nodded.

San Francisco is a bit of a unique place, as the city's official name is somewhat controversial.Without a clear official policy, the usage is a bit confusing.

Both Voice of America and the U.S. State Department use "San Francisco."Today, most of the foreign affairs units stationed in the city with official Chinese titles use "San Francisco".

In the official documents and maps of the Chinese Dynasty, it is often referred to as "San Francisco", but on the Chinese version of the official website of the San Francisco City Government and its subordinate municipal units at all levels, it uses "San Francisco" and "San Francisco" respectively. "There is no consistent standard for these two different translations.

And this phenomenon is also generally reflected in the usage habits of the Chinese community living in the city.The most famous should 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 city name of the game "Grand Theft Auto" he played when he was a student, so it has a powerful feeling to call it this way.Well, Wang Taika himself knows that this is boring!
Looking at Wang Taika's familiar face, Pani asked, "Wang PD lived there?"

"Yes." Wang Taika nodded: "I spent a little time in the United States, and I also did filming in St. Francis."

Pani became even more curious: "Shooting what?"

"Time-lapse photography of the Golden Gate Bridge, but you probably don't know about it. Not many people pay attention to it." Wang Taika shrugged.

"Yes, I really don't know." Pani smiled.

"But it is indeed a nice city, with sunshine, beaches and coasts." Wang Taika said with a smile: "Although you were born there, you may not know as much as I do."

Pani smiled and said, "How is it possible? You can ask, I know everything."

Wang Taika deliberately teased Pani: "Oh, then tell me about the climate characteristics of San Francisco!"

"Huh?" Pani was stunned!
"Haha, didn't you say you know everything!" Wang Taika laughed.

"I'm talking about where there are fun places and delicious things. How do I know the characteristics of the climate!" Pani retorted: "This is making things difficult for people! No, it is cheating to be fined like this! No, Snowball?"

Xueqiu was even more confused when he heard it beside him: "Huh?"

"Don't don't, just kidding." Wang Taika said quickly: "Okay, I know that young people are not easy to mess with. This is also punished with alcohol, and I didn't say it before!"

"Then you didn't ask!" Pani grabbed Wang Taika's handle, then beckoned the waiter to bring a few bottles of beer and put them on the table.

Wang Taika was helpless: "Can we discuss it?"

Pani smiled and said, "Okay, what did you ask just now? You can say it yourself, I think you are amazing. You don't need to drink this wine."

"You can't help me, why don't I investigate the environment first when I take time-lapse photography?" Wang Taika said with a smile: "San 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 sea breeze , there is very little rainfall in summer, and although it is cold in winter, there is little snowfall. How is it?"

Pani smiled: "I don't know if it's true or not, but it doesn't matter."

"Are you kidding me? Hey Yigu, I really thought I was going to be drunk." Wang Taika said with a smile: "Pani still often goes home now? After all, the family should be in the United States, right?"

Pani paused while holding the wine glass, and then recovered, looking 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."

"Does the family not want it?" Wang Taika asked, "After all, you are in Korea alone, so you will be worried, right?"

Pani shrugged with a smile, and instead of answering, 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 have visited several cities on the west coast. The main places in the United States that are worth taking photos are also closer to this side. But to be honest, St. Francis's Housing prices are too expensive, and those cities are the most expensive. The economic crisis has not crushed it, and I am really convinced."

Hearing Wang Taika's complaint, Pani couldn't help laughing: "Have you bought a house yet? Naturalized in the United States?"

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. It's useless even if I buy it, and I won't stay there for long. And you know that buying a house in the United States, everyone Taxes and stuff. It's annoying."

Pani and Wang Taika have found a common language, and they haven't returned to the United States for so long, in fact, Pani also really wants to go back and have a look.But if you go back privately, you will inevitably be entangled by some helpless people, so apart from work reasons, Pani actually rarely runs around.

When I was young, Zhuka was also from the United States, but in fact, Zhuka and Pani didn't call.It's not that there are any conflicts, they get along very well, it's just that when they debuted, there was a bit of overlap in their personalities, and now the two of them are a little too polite, and of course it is impossible to talk heart-to-heart.

Meeting Wang Taika this time, Pani can be regarded as relieved of his homesickness and found a common topic.The two chatted from the Golden Gate Bridge to housing prices, then from housing prices to the last economic crisis, and then from the economic crisis to what delicious food there is in San Francisco.

Pani is a lover of desserts, especially likes ice cream, so he started to ask Wang Taika about where there is a delicious ice cream shop in St. Francis.

The two of them became more and more happy, only Xueqiu was left drinking drinks and eating without taste.
