So I'm playing Brain Training (or Brain Age) 2. There's a part of the game where one has to listen to two people speak simultaneously, then write down both words spoken.
Now, I clearly heard this woman say 'tomato,' which is what I wrote. After listening again and again, I was 100% sure that was the word, but it didn't list my answer as correct.
Incredulous, I hit the GIVE UP button to see the answer revealed:
TOMATOE
(Also, when playing Rock, Paper, Scissors, I have to say "paper" with an Australian accent, but that's actually kinda fun.) |

How about this one?
I got a phone call a few minutes ago. They were looking for someone with the same first name as mine, but not me. They dialed the wrong number, but the number they were trying to dial was close to mine. AND they were foreigners.
Back home, no big deal...but in Korea? That's pretty weird. |
