Who are you? 到底是誰?

Last summer Dries bought this adornment in an floating market.  The owner is a young couple and they said that they took it back from Malaysia.  Since they dressed like backpackers, we did believe them.  Besides, we don't really care about that anyway and every time when someone asked about it, we always answered it with what we were told:  "Yeah and you know what? It is from Malaysia." 

I even imaged that it is like other stuffs that I took from different places during my traveling, were stuffed into my backpack, traveled with me for long time and finally came back with me...  So, I like to think that this cute little thing has some stories, too. 

Until one day my South Korean classmate, S saw my sketch of it and told me that it is from her country (She even sent me a website to prove it! )........

Well, the good thing is that we finally know who he is, Stone grandpa from South Korea.  But at that same time all my imagination about it are all gone...........Gees..  

  

最初讓我開始想動手素描的，就是這尊石雕。(也可能是在家跟他大眼瞪小眼太久了 :P)

這尊石雕是去年夏天跟Dries逛跳蚤市場時看到的，還是一向只看不是很愛買的Dries買下來的。原主人是一對很年輕的情侶，Dries問他們石雕哪來時，對方還告知在馬來西亞旅行時帶回來的，說完三人還全轉頭過來看我，似乎在尋求我的支持，問題是，我是台灣人耶，我哪知道馬來西亞產啥?  但因為對方看起來真的很背包客，Dries也不是買來當珍奇異物收藏的，也就不是那麼在意了。而且光是想像它也是被塞在背包裡，一路隨著主人飄洋過海回家，我就覺得很有親切感呀，感覺它跟我從各地旅行撿回來的爛東西，好像有著同一磁場。所以逢人看到問起，總也是回答馬來西亞來的。

就在我畫完它的素描後沒多久，認識一個南韓同學"些宜"，聊天後才知道她也喜歡畫畫，一次便帶了一些素描給她看。她看到這尊石雕大為吃驚，說她也有一尊。我問她也去過馬來西亞呀?!些宜給我一個古怪的表情，說這是南韓濟州島的石頭爺爺啦!

啥米?   爺爺??  不是應該是小孩嗎?? (最好這是重點)

總之，感謝些宜的幫忙，還寄了石頭爺爺的介紹網頁給我(或是覺得我很頑固，不給點證明是很說服我?)，我們總算知道這位可愛房客的來歷啦!

不過，那對情侶是怎樣?  還馬來西亞帶回來咧，ㄘㄟ!
