Wang Taika is not a person who likes to waste food, but he will not force himself to eat something that is really hard to swallow. He casually put the fish plate rice aside and said helplessly: "I'd better drink a bar."

"Aren't you going to mix your own drinks today?" Pani joked.

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

Pani thought of the last glass of "no hesitation" wine, which was pepper water. It tasted so bad that it tasted explosive, so he curled his lips with a disgusted expression: "Let's forget it."

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

Pani saw Wang Taika's expression and said helplessly: "It's Pani, you're right."

"No, I just realized that I didn't seem to use the honorific! I'm sorry, why did I forget..." Wang Taika then realized that he had always called him by his first name.

Pani suddenly smiled: "It's okay, foreigners can understand it. And I don't particularly care about these things. Don't take it to heart."

"Yes, Pani is American, right?" Wang Taika asked: "Where is he from?"

Pani smiled and said: "I was born in San Francisco."

"Oh, San Francisco!" Wang Taika nodded.

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

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

In the official documents and maps of China, it is mostly called "San Francisco", but on the Chinese version of the official website of the San Francisco city government and its subordinate municipal units, "San Francisco" and "San Francisco" are used respectively.

"There is no consistent standard for these two different translations.

This phenomenon is also generally reflected in the usage habits of the Chinese community living in the city. The most famous one should be "San Francisco" because Bruce Lee also worked hard in this city.

Wang Taika prefers to call it "Saint 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 calling it like this has a very powerful feeling. Well, Wang Taika himself

We all know this is boring!

Looking at Wang Taika's familiar look, Pani asked: "Wang PD lived there?"

"Yeah." Wang Taika nodded: "I spent some time in the United States, and I also went to shoot St. Francis."

Pani became more curious: "What to shoot?"

"Time-lapse photography of the Golden Gate Bridge, but you probably don't know that, not many people actually pay attention to this aspect." Wang Taika shrugged.

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

"But it is indeed a nice city, with sunshine, beaches and coast." Wang Taika smiled and said: "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 where it is."

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

"Ah?" Pani was confused!

"Haha, didn't you say you knew everything?" Wang Taika laughed.

"I'm talking about where there are fun places and delicious food. How do I know the climate characteristics?" Pani retorted: "This is making things difficult for others! No, if you want to drink alcohol like this, it's a scam! Yes!

No, Snowball?"

Xueqiu, who was listening next to him, was even more confused: "Huh?"

"No, no, it's just a joke." Wang Taika said quickly: "Okay, I know that people from SNSD are not easy to mess with. I didn't say that I was fined with drinking!"

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

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

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

"You can't help me. I go to take time-lapse photography without investigating the environment first?" Wang Taika said with a smile: "Saint 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 the summer, and although the winter is cold, there is little snowfall. How about it?"

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

"Are you kidding me? Hey Yi Gu, I really thought I was going to get drunk." Wang Taika laughed and said, "Pani still goes home often, right? After all, everyone in the family should be in the United States, right?"

Pani held up the wine glass for a moment, then returned to his original state, 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."

"Don't you think your family would like it?" Wang Taika asked, "After all, you will be worried if you are alone in Korea, right?"

Pani smiled and shrugged, but did not answer. Instead, he changed his question and asked, "How long did Wang PD live there?"

"I really don't like the big cities in the eastern United States. I have visited several cities on the West Coast. Mainly, some of the places worth photographing in the United States are relatively close to here. But to be honest now, St. Francis'

Housing prices are also too expensive. Among the cities, it is the most expensive. It has not been crushed by the economic crisis. I am really convinced."

Listening to Wang Taika's complaint, Pani couldn't help but laugh: "You also bought a house? Have you become an American citizen?"

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, I won't stay there for long. And you know that when buying a house in the United States, everyone

Planting taxes and stuff like that. It’s so annoying.”

Pani and Wang Taika have finally found a common language. They haven’t returned to the United States for so long. In fact, Pani also wants to go back and have a look. However, if he goes back in private, he will inevitably be entangled by some helpless people, so in addition to work reasons, Pani also wants to go back and have a look.

In fact, Ni rarely runs around anymore.

In SNSD, Chi Ka is also from the United States, but Chi Ka and Pani are actually a little bit indifferent. It’s not that they have any conflicts and they get along very well. It’s just that their personalities overlapped a bit when they debuted, so now they both have similar personalities.

It's a bit too polite, and heart-to-heart talk is of course impossible.

Meeting Wang Taika this time, 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 St. Francis

Is there anything delicious?

Pani is a sweet lover, especially ice cream, so he started to tell Wang Taika where to find delicious ice cream shops in St. Francis.
