[00:01.40] it's that time of the year again!
[00:03.40] English Day! Now today,
[00:06.40] I sadly don't have a partner to help to help,
[00:09.65] but anyway,
[00:10.65] the Topic for today is......
[00:12.16] GOOD MORNING VIETNAM!!!!!!
[00:14.65] What was that???
[00:17.40] Hello there!
[00:19.65] Ah sorry.
[00:20.90] It should be... Konnichi wa,
[00:22.13] right?
[00:25.64] Gotta respect cultures man.
[00:26.63] Anyway let me introduce myself.
[00:27.55] From the land of the free,
[00:28.31] the United States of America,
[00:31.09] at the mouth of the Missipi,
[00:33.09] my great home Louisana,
[00:34.08] New Orleans.
[00:37.55] Half German,
[00:38.56] A third Scottish,
[00:39.80] the rest Korean,
[00:40.80] so I am practically your brother.
[00:43.05] May I know more about you,
[00:47.30] fellow Asian of Vietnam?
[00:48.80] Eh....
[00:50.31] wa-wait wait wait just a moment.
[00:52.05] First,
[00:53.30] this is not Vietnam...
[00:54.56] this is Hong Kong.
[00:55.56] Secondly,
[00:56.56] since you seem to completely
[00:58.05] lost...
[01:00.56] uh...
[01:00.80] how did you get here?
[01:02.31] Huh?
[01:03.55] This is Hong Kong?
[01:04.80] Not Vietnam?
[01:06.81] Ahahaha silly me
[01:08.31] I must have gotten the flags switched.
[01:11.06] You know,
[01:13.72] red background,
[01:14.96] symbol in the middle...
[01:17.21] and yeah you are right I am...
[01:20.05] kind of lost.
[01:22.96] I don't even remember
[01:23.72] how I got here...
[01:24.96] where is this exactly?
[01:26.47] Hong Kong.
[01:26.96] Kowloon.
[01:27.72] Tsim Sha Tsui.
[01:28.96] Well... t
[01:29.72] his is my school.
[01:30.22] Lai Chack Middle School.
[01:31.21] Anyway, you are a tourist right?
[01:33.72] Go sightseeing for a while here,
[01:35.97] there a many interesting tourist spots
[01:38.47] in Hong Kong.
[01:40.46] Yeah,
[01:42.96] but I know nothing about anything here.
[01:44.71] I guess I'll just leave
[01:46.47] and go to the airport
[01:49.47] before I embarrass myself here.
[01:50.47] Uh huh,
[01:52.47] not like you can embarrass yourself
[01:54.71] even further as you have already did.
[01:57.72] Uh... what did you say?
[01:58.96] Nothing.
[02:02.96] You can leave now.
[02:03.97] Actually no. Wait.
[02:06.22] This is a great opportunity!
[02:08.72] Since you're already here,
[02:11.97] why not help me
[02:13.47] with the presentation for English Day
[02:15.22] before you leave?
[02:16.71] The theme is:
[02:19.21] Our Neighborhood Hong Kong,
[02:21.23] where I will talk about special places
[02:23.47] to visit in this city.
[02:25.21] I can show a place
[02:26.96] you might find quite interesting.
[02:29.47] Okay,
[02:30.96] that's fine by me,
[02:32.46] my next flight will take a while...
[02:33.97] how far is it?
[02:35.47] Just across the street!
[02:36.71] Here!
[02:38.96] Wow! The Architecture is so totally radical!
[02:42.72] Yup.
[02:44.46] Part of the yet to be completed Western Kowloon Cultural
[02:47.47] the Xiqu Centre,
[02:49.97] features a striking architectural design,
[02:52.22] inspired by that of chinese lanterns
[02:55.47] and paintings,
[02:56.46] with the entrance imitating
[02:58.96] that of a stage curtain of a theatre.
[03:04.72] It looks cool,
[03:06.71] but what is it for exactly?
[03:09.22] Well Xiqu Centre,
[03:11.21] as the name suggests,
[03:12.72] is a venue for Xiqu,
[03:13.97] Chinese Opera.
[03:16.72] Ah..
[03:17.72] you mean the thing
[03:18.46] with the crazy face paints
[03:19.72] and crazy high pitched screaming?
[03:22.46] I like that one man.
[03:23.97] It can't believe
[03:25.48] I get to visit a place
[03:26.72] where all of that happens!
[03:28.72] Yup!
[03:29.97] Let's take a look inside shall we?
[03:32.22] This is the atrium,
[03:33.97] which is the space for exhibitions,
[03:36.47] stalls,
[03:37.47] and xiqu demonstrations
[03:39.48] and workshops.
[03:40.72] Around here you can assess
[03:42.96] the Grand Theatre,
[03:46.22] Tea House Theatre,
[03:47.72] eight professional studios
[03:50.47] and a seminar hall,
[03:52.22] all specially designed for different types
[03:56.22] of xiqu-related functions and activities.
[03:59.72] Huh. Damn.
[04:01.21] I can just barely hear the crazy yelling up
[04:03.21] in that ceiling where the Grand Theatre is.
[04:06.96] Kinda makes you want to watch one.
[04:10.47] You can buy a ticket now
[04:13.21] if you are really interested in
[04:15.72] watching one now.
[04:17.21] One should be showing this evening.
[04:21.21] Really?
[04:22.22] That's dope!
[04:23.97] I am gonna buy one now.
[04:25.48] Hey,
[04:27.21] before you go,
[04:28.72] there is this video I want you to watch.
[04:30.96] It's about
[04:31.97] the interesting destinations
[04:33.72] of Hong Kong.
[04:35.21] I hope you after watching it
[04:37.23] you would visit my city more often.
[04:40.96] That's a-okay.
[04:42.22] Let me see.
[06:37.30] Man... watching that,
[06:38.80] Hong Kong is like so totally cool.
[06:42.06] After watching the Xiqu performance,
[06:43.81] I think I am going to stay for a few days
[06:47.09] before leaving to check out Mong Kok
[06:51.09] and that Big Buddha thing
[06:52.85] which is just pure epic.
[06:54.85] I am glad you like that video!
[06:56.59] Hong Kong is a beautiful city,
[06:58.35] with many interesting places to visit
[07:01.34] and see.
[07:02.60] Just across the street of our school
[07:04.85] is a destination that's already quite interesting.
[07:09.09] I hope that after this English day,
[07:11.59] everyone can appreciate more
[07:13.34] about the bustling metropolis,
[07:15.84] full a concrete jungles as well as actual jungles,
[07:21.34] that we call home.
[07:22.84] That's our neighborhood,
[07:24.60] Hong Kong.
[07:26.35] That is all for today's English day!
[07:28.85] See you next time!
