Interviewing a passer-by
Review:
Much like travel programmes, the show features popular trip destinations like Japan and Taiwan. However, not only can we get to see the scenery like what normal travel tv programmes show, Mark brings the audience deeper into the culture of the country through home visits and street interviews. We get to find out why socially gracious acts are so prevalent overseas and well, that's a chance for us to reflect on Singaporeans' awareness of graciousness. Besides getting awed by the grace of foreigners, it's time for us to learn and change, ain't it?
A good breather from the angst of a bad day (especially when you had been the victim of ungracious acts)!
