Welcome back on my channel. My name is Charlotte.
Today, as you might see, I got comfy.
I had a really tough day at work so when I got home, I felt like I needed to get into my pyjamas right away!
I hope you don’t mind I got comfortable; I hope you are comfortable too over there.
There was an awesome article that I couldn’t wait to share with you all.
It’s about a Taiwanese couple that got so famous in such a little time. They blew up online!
I know that they blew up because as you might know, I speak several languages:
I can speak French, Dutch and English
I saw the couple in several newspapers across different countries.
The first time I saw them, was in a Belgian newspaper. Then I saw them in the Dutch one
And then I also saw them in the French news.
I was thinking: wow, they are getting seen worldwide. I wonder,
If you are from another European country, probably you saw them too?
Maybe this story even got famous in the US. I don’t know, if you are from the US and you heard about this, let me know!
I am very curious to know how far this story has spread.
The article is about an elderly couple. They are both over 80 years old.
I saw on the Instagram page that the grandmother turned 84!
This elderly couple… Their names are Wan-Ji and Sho-Er… They own a little laundry store in Taiwan.
This laundry store is small, and their days are very boring there, so their grandson had an awesome idea
And that was to create an Instagram page for his grandparents.
You might be wondering, “what are two elderly people showing on Instagram?”
In their laundry shop, it can happen that when people bring clothes, they lose a piece of clothing
Some people come and put their laundry in the washing machine and then never come to pick it up.
So this couple is left with a lot of lost clothes.
They decided to make some kind of stylish photos on their Instagram, with clothes that people left in their shop.
I think it is such an original idea! You have to check out their page. They are doing this with a lot of style
It is also very cute, because you can see that this couple is so affectionate with each other.
They are “couple goals”. They are so stylish and awesome together.
I wondered why this story became so popular.
I think that in these dark times, we are used to seeing bad news every day.
I don’t know how it is in other countries, but here in Belgium we are talking about corona every single day.
Sometimes they talk about other things, but then it’s even worse, like explosions in other countries
There is just so much going on around the world right now.
When I read the article and I checked out their page, their page is called “wantshowasyoung”
When I got lost on their page I started scrolling and started reading and started laughing.
I got such a positive vibe from it. I could forget about all the worries in the world for a while,
so I think this page has such a big success because it is what we all need right now.
We need a bit of cuteness and positivity in our lives during these difficult times.
That might be one of the reasons why they blew up online in my opinion.
I think the grandson is such an awesome grandson for noticing that his grandparents are having a tough time and for trying to do something fun together with them.
Since they got so popular now, I think they have… Wait, let’s check the Instgram page.
They have 654.000 followers. (I am one of them by the way)
They have so many followers. I think that right now, with this number of followers on Instagram…
Who knows? Maybe they can get some super cool brand deals.
If I was the owner of a trendy clothes shop, I would definitely want to work together with those style-icons!
I hope that this couple doesn’t have to work anymore after their success.
Because 80 years old… Or even more than 80 years old? I think it is time to enjoy the years you have and go enjoy some holidays,
spend a lot of quality time with your family. I just hope they don’t have to work anymore. I think it has been enough.
I hope that this awesome idea from their grandson makes them famous and that they don’t have to work anymore.
Something I was wondering about… Sometimes, these kinds of stories become very famous in other countries
but they are totally unknown in the country where it happens. I wonder if that’s the case for this story.
If you are from Taiwan, I would love to know if you have heard about this story or not at all. I am just curious…
Right now, are there huge waiting lines in front of their store?
Are people waiting to go there to take pictures of the store or did nothing change at all? I am so curious to find out.
If you know more, let me know!
I think that was it for the article. I think you should check it out if you haven’t yet.
For me, it was such a nice trip down their Instagram. To read all their cute stories and watch all their cute pictures.
I think they deserve all the fame they are getting right now because they are awesome.
Thank you so much for staying with me until the end! We should probably choose a codeword…
So I can recognise who watched until the end. Let’s choose…
Maybe “style”! Because they are such style-icons.
If you say “style” in the comments down below I know you watched until the end and you are awesome!
Thank you so much for watching.
Oh wait, there is something else I wanted to say.
I have the most awesome subscribers in the world, obviously!
One of my subscribers suggested to use a platform called Patreon.
I had only vaguely heard about it so I looked it up and it is really cool where I can create a page, same name as my Youtube “Charmless Charmander”.
I can create a page where people can come and form a community, so all people who enjoy my channel and who want to show their support can go there.
It is a system where you can create different levels with different benefits.
For example one level I can give people early access to a video or… I don’t know,
you have to help me and let me know what kind of things you would like to have as rewards for the different levels.
I’m still trying to figure it out. It is very new to me.
I thought it was so nice that one of my subscribers gave me this great idea.
Sometimes I got some other messages of people saying that they like my channel and would like to show support,
if there is any way they can support my channel and that would be a perfect way.
If you want to be part of the community, of the family, you can check out my patreon.
I will try to finish my page before I publish this video. Whish me luck!
Definitely check it out if you have some time.
That’s it for today! I hope to see you very soon in the next video. Thank you for watching! Bye bye ~
