Trainergarten? Kindrostation?
Somehow it is easy to write a post once someone else has already broken the ice. Thanks Jonesy.Take a gander, if you will (which you will), at this creation/comic/I don't know what. Really, I don't know. It is a micro version of set 4554. Well not micro exactly, as it still has minifigs. Chibi-scale? Condensed? Cute-ified?
Anyway, the bizarre part starts when the little micro-chibi-cute train is introduced. It seems to be able to talk (in some asiatic language, by my guess). It talks to a girl, then some other trains, then a train car, which it pals up with (mates?). Then the girl talks and she is mad or something, I can't quite tell what those teardrop shapes mean. I think I read somewhere that in anime it means "exhausted" or something. Maybe there is some anime nerd who reads this who knows (Jonesy?)
So the trains (I assume) speak back to her, also mad-exhausted (unless the lines mean simply noise or yelling or shouting...). A question is raised and the little train engine also can show emotion (hey it can talk, why not) and that is the end.
Some cute building, but still: "Whaaaaa??????"

my korean is pretty basic, but she is saying "hurry up (come here) or i'm going to...." to whom, i don't know.
and jonesy, my girlfriend's last name is jones and she finds the moniker "jonesy" to be antiquated and bordering on offensive. mainly because it sucks. blogs are for personal expression, even if they offend occassionally. there's nothing wrong with asiatic, korea is in asia you know.

To leave a comment that actually has something to do with the link Kevoh posted...The little "water-drops" are kind of a term for embarrassment and exclamation. Like, making a panicked response to a question you don't know the answer to. Plus, the photos fit the cuteness of it all nicely.

How did a potentially hilarious romp through Korean trainyards turn into world war IV? (Or V, Or VI, or whichever one we're on this week. Admitedly, I don't watch the news.
Can't we all just, as they say, 'get along?'
psalamanazar- I quite fail to see how a spin on a fairly common American name is in any way antiquated. I think the word your girlfriend (read: 'sister,') was looking for might have been 'trite,' or perhaps even 'hackneyed.' I think its a bit sad that she finds it offensive. Jonesy can't really help his lineage, nor can she.
Jonesy, your psudeonym is bromidic at best, and apparently (to certain parties, at any rate,) just downright reprehensible. (You rat bastard, you.)
Oh yes. Also: According to my various Chinese housemates, 'Asian' is the PC word to use. As 'asiatic' is a derivative thereof, you're probably all right on that front as well.
