Sprite on the rooftop


David with new hairstyle & sunnies landed on rooftop in a helicopter for his Sprite press conference. He looked awesome and really handled the media well & with so much style. Not one to avoid tricky questions, he answered them all including the news abt his dad not paying debt owned. He said the only person his dad owned money is himself thus making light of the situation. He also fielded questions abt rumored gf Joanna & his marriage plans.

More gorgeous pixs here & @ forum.
David was also guest on some entertainment programs. I only watched tvbs & azio, if u know chinese, can dl azio @ davidcn. He wore another green shirt, faded jeans & white belt. Not a lot of ppl can looked good in that shade of green but he looked charming. As usual vry chatty & so so so cute in his enthusiasm for his helicopter ride. I mean he is a superstar & everything but still acted like a kid abt the ride. He complained it was too short & he didn't get to see the Taipei scenery cos the reporters kept asking him questions.

During azio, they gave him 3 glasses to see if he could taste which is Sprite. I really liked it that he was so game abt it even though it was rather unfair to test him like that without warning & on live tv. Though he guessed wrong in the end, he didn't try to cover it up or anything. Such an embodiment of the right way to behave. Like when he was lunching with Joanna & someone sneaked a photo, he didn't throw a hissy fit but just quietly requested for it to be deleted. In today's world where ppl go around 'happy slapping' other ppl just for fun, so encouraging to see somebody who believes in simple courtesy & good manners. It may not be cool but it makes the world a better place.

David also talked abt his concerts & confirmed the dates - Aug 13 in Shanghai & Sep 10 in Beijing. The concert will be called 'David Tao Love Can World Tour'. Managed to find 1 online article:
