I felt a little confused sitting in the car as DongHae drove to yet another place he needed to go to to complete his day and his plans of true culture shock. We were currently in the city of New York and I was actually paying much more attention to making sure we didn't die than what he was doing. He'd been to a Spaghetti Works first off and ordered us the most Italian dishes he could manage. That went in the backseat on the floor under a blanket to keep it warm. Next up was a large modern store that had a sign I couldn't read. It was filled with cheap things that looked expensive and I thought about warning him that he better not get too attached to what he buys. It'll only break. I didn't. He bought 2 small Eiffel Tower keychains that he attached to our bags and proceeded with his work.
I didn't have many complaints but I did have some concerns when he went to an expensive flower shop but I kept quiet once I saw the small flower pot that held a little African Violet that looked near death. It was comforting. That went inside the drink holder in the car after it was watered with Donghae's water bottle.
A Teavana store was after a short break we took by a pretty water fountain in a large park. He got some kind of Scottish tea and the tea tin was stored inside of his backpack along with a British tea set he bought for cheap because it was missing a handle on one of the small teacups.
The highlight of the day so far was when he took me to a pet shop. I was going to smack him backhanded over his head if he even thought he was going to get a dog and I was threatened with having to consider it as he crooned at the puppies. He cuddled and held them and asked the pet shop workers how much they were. He thought he was being sly but I figured what else could he possibly be asking? The small blonde corgi I had was watching DongHae play just like I was. His fur was soft and he was a calm puppy. He was so well behaved that I didn't even mind when he piddled in my lap. I just asked Donghae to buy me a pair of pants while he was on his cultural shock roll. He didn't hide his laughter.
We left there with a small container filled with water that held a tiny blue Japanese fighting fish inside. We named it Attack once we discovered his innate ability to ram himself into the side of the container when a mirror was held up against it. We figured he didn't know what the magical workings of a mirror were like and he just trying to defend himself when he saw his reflection. He went in the other cup holder and DongHae assigned my attention to making sure it didn't slosh too much.
He made me stay inside the car while he went inside of a clothes store to buy me pants but I had my doubts about this one... I'm sure the sombrero in the front window with a desert theme and a donkey in the background is what did it, but who knows? I just chuckled a bit as he came running out, checking hurriedly for traffic before making it back inside the car. His insane smile assured me it was just as bad as I thought.
He laughed almost hysterically once I stripped myself of my pants hurriedly in the car and slipped on the leather cowboy slacks with the leather strips hanging off of them. I sarcastically wondered aloud where the sobrero is and if this is how KRY felt for the Night Chicago Died. I got another close to hysterical laugh as he slowly pulled a tiny little sombrero out of the sack and strapped it to my head. At least there was no poncho.
Then, last but not least, he took us to a simple Dollar Store and bought a roll of tinfoil. The American at the register decided not to ask questions about my attire but I knew he was crazy curious. He was an old guy and probably knew when things just weren't worth asking.
I guess I should have seen it coming when he took me, the Chinese man, to a New York China Town. The thought had crossed my mind that it was his starting point for this plan of cultural domination.
At the small outdoor restaurant, he had the Japanese fish in the middle of the table next to the African Violet. He had someone in the restaurant heat up our Italian dinners and prepare the Scottish tea. He served it in the British teaware and smiled at my Mexican sombrero as he fiddled with his small French Eiffel Tower keychain. I hadn't told him that mine had broken off yet. I assumed if I would have, I would have told him in Korean and he would have suggested in Korean that he go find another. After I put all this together in my head I realized he was pretty successful in his day's plans.
He even started to sing.
"I can open your eyes~ Take you wonder by wonder~ Over sideways and under on a magic carpet ride. A whole new world~" I just ate my food in silence as he sang under his breath, the Aladdin song that completed the mood and the whole idea.
I was so proud of him that I just smiled as he slipped a ring of tin foil around my wrist. My smile never faltered as I waited for him to add one last country that I wasn't realizing.
"Aliens are a race too you know." He nodded his head at me and stared me down, smiling lightly. "I can show you the world~ Let me share this whole new world with you~."
My gaze just migrated to the left of him as I began to eat my food but my smile never left.
