How a Bad Break-up Can Change Your Life
WAGALIGONG ON SET TV!
The story of boy meets girl
Boy meets Girl in college beach town, South Africa. Boy and Girl spend several wonderful years together, until Girl graduates, lands a decent job and elopes with her department manager. Boy is heartbroken. Boy books ticket to Asia to escape memories of Girl. Boy quickly forgets Girl even existed. Boy eventually settles down in Asian country, starts a family and opens a surf school. He names it WaGaLiGong, which in the local Taiwanese mother language literally means “I talk to you”, or “Now let me tell you something”. True story.
Set TV
Fast forward 15 years. Set TV , a Taiwanese media company which produces a lot of local and cultural content, made a short program about foreigners who have settled in Taiwan and made it their home. The section about WaGaLiGong starts at the 24:55 mark. Thanks to Set TV for the effort!
However, the question on our lips is: how on earth did SET TV get hold of those ancient photos of 22-year-old Mark? The producer really must have spent quite some time searching for those gems. Some of the photos used are from college days, circa late nineties! I’m talking pre-Facebook days. The fact that Set TV managed to dig up these old photos put a huge smile on my face.
