Time traveler from Ming Dynasty spotted yesterday in Washington Square Park!

The cupboard reads, “Time traveler from Ming Dynasty. Trapped in NYC needs $ to return[.]”

The Chinese inscription underneath says, 【不才乃自大明而来[,]受困纽约急需银两[。]】

——-

I chatted with him, who, as a matter of fact, turns out to be an NYU freshman in CAS. He says he came from Taiwan (not Ming Dynasty from 600 hundred years ago! LOL). I didn’t get to ask him why he decided to put up this act in the park, but Generasian did get him to do the Gangnam Style horse-riding dance!

Video will be up on our tumblr blog and YouTube channel soon. Stay tuned, lovelies~! <3

I feel like we need some clarification

dirtyteeth:

This is a Kimono (Japanese):

This is a Hanfu (Chinese):

This is a Cheongsam (Chinese):

This is a Hanbok (Korean):

ao dai
(vietnamese)

Everyone’s national dresswear is beautiful and elegant, but I can’t get over how the ao dai looks. It’s like a blast from the 1920s in some sort of East-meets-West in France in stroll-in-a-park-one-sunday.
