BELIEVE IT OR NOT

Morning everybody. Today I would like to share something that I read last night on Yahoo news. Something caught me while I'm reading this. I'm not sure what is it but its kinda amaze me. So,  check it out this one.

Baltic Sea letter in a bottle found 24 years later!

MOSCOW – Nearly a quarter-century after a German boy tossed a message in a bottle off a ship in the Baltic Sea, he's received an answer.
A 13-year-old Russian, Daniil Korotkikh, was walking with his parents on a beach when he saw something glittering lying in the sand.
"I saw that bottle and it looked interesting," Korotkikh told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "It looked like a German beer bottle with a ceramic plug, and there was a message inside."
His father, who knows schoolboy German, translated the letter, carefully wrapped in cellophane and sealed by a medical bandage.
It said: "My name is Frank, and I'm five years old. My dad and I are traveling on a ship to Denmark. If you find this letter, please write back to me, and I will write back to you."
The letter, dated 1987, included an address in the town of Coesfeld.
The boy in the letter, Frank Uesbeck, is now 29. His parents still live at the letter's address.
"At first I didn't believe it," Uesbeck told the AP about getting the response from Korotkikh. In fact, he barely remembered the trip at all; his father actually wrote the letter.
The Russian boy and the German man met each other earlier this month via an Internet video link.
Korotkikh showed Uesbeck the bottle where he found the message and the letter that he put in a frame.
The Russian boy said he does not believe that the bottle actually spent 24 years in the sea: "It would not have survived in the water all that time," he said.
He believes it had been hidden under the sand where he found it — on the Curonian Spit, a 100-kilometer (60-mile) stretch of sand in Lithuania and Russia.
In the web chat earlier this month, Uesbek gave Korotkikh his new address to write to and promised to write back when he receives his letter.
"He'll definitely get another letter from me," the 29-year-old said.
Uesbeck was especially thrilled that he was able to have a positive impact on a life of a young person far away from Germany.
"It's really a wonderful story," he said. "And who knows? Perhaps one day we will actually be able to arrange a meeting in person."

DIFFERENT VERSION

Hi! Everybody. This is the 1st time I'm writing my blog in English. Well just want to test myself, how far I could go.
Anyway, have you seen Kejora & Bintang? It an Indonesian drama which is aired everyday at 6.30 pm on Astro Ria. Well, it's about two sibling who lost their parents and cought into two different life after been separated by their evil stepmother & stepsister. On their way finding each other, they met few people and become so attached to them. They also found out that their father was not really dead. Many terrible things done by their evil stepmother & stepsister to keep them separated. Uh!!


Did you know, this drama has another version from Korea. It's called Brilliant Legacy on channel Animax. The storylines of both dramas are almost the same. But been alter slighty according to local custom or interest. Just imagine, when I watch Brilliant Legacy, I really can tell what will happen next. Its like being a story teller. Hehehehe.



I've came across into this same situation last year while I was watching Benci Bilang Cinta star by Baim Wong and Marshanda. Eventually.., it has another Korean version too called Princess Hour on channel Animax. What's more..., both version shows simultaneously in two different channel and time frame. That is why I could catch  both version and done my analysis. Fuh!

Personally.., between the two version, I like the Korean one. Its least of hatred, stupidity, desire to harm others or teasing dan much more suitable to watch.
