English lesson for Mr. Mori before meeting Pres. Obama
by nomeradona Tue Jul 07, 2009 10:32 pm
Pinadala lang sa akin through email. funny!
This is a true story from the Japanese Embassy in US!!!
A few days ago, Prime Minister of Japan Mr. Mori was given some Basic English conversation training before he visits Washington and meets president Barack Obama...
The instructor told Mr. Mori Prime Minister, when you shake hand with President Obama, please say 'how r u'.
Then Mr. Obama should say, 'I am fine, and you?' Now, you should say 'me too'. Afterwards we, translators, will do the work for you.'
It looks quite simple, but the truth is...
When Mori met Obama , he mistakenly said 'who r u?' (Instead of 'How r u?'.)
Mr. Obama was a bit shocked but still managed to react with humor:
'Well, I'm Michelle's husband, ha-ha...'
Then Mori replied 'me too, ha-ha.. .'.
Then there was a long silence in the meeting room.

Perhaps it was Prime Minister Aso (But he speaks english quite well). PM Mori ended his stint in 2001.
Its funny! Reminds me of Ninoy's story about the Marcoses,, "She robs you very much"
