Having never been in a salon like the Celestial Temple of Harmony, Beauty, and Repose, Sharon Lucille Yates didn’t know what to expect.

While she had not expected the “Grand Full Makeover” to take as long as it did (the whole day, with large parts of it with her asleep!), the part that really surprised her was that before they would do the “grand reveal,” a worker who it seemed was a lawyer came out and gave her paperwork to sign—paperwork that was in Chinese!

However, the lawyer was insistent that she sigh, so Sharon did.

It was followed by “the grand reveal,” which, for the former auburn-haired, unemployed Tupelo, Mississippi teacher, was indeed quite a reveal.

The next revelation, after further techno miracles performed by The Temple saw to it that she could speak and read Mandarin, was that the paperwork she had signed was a lease for an apartment on the island of Taiwan, a signed contract to go to work for The Temple, and one that legally changing her name to Yuhan Shen Liu!

The Temple, it seemed, had the whole process down to a swift, exact science.

While shocked with it all, Shen Liu did really like the new hairstyle they had given her, and she had to admit that it would not have worked for her back back when she had been Scott/Irish.

Just in time for Chinese Language Day, electronic genius Anna Gardner had developed what she was sure was a system that would stream knowledge of Mandarine directly into the brain.

As she eagerly threw the switch, a surge of electricity jolted through the equipment, sending Anna reeling back in shock.

But she also became fluent in the most spoken language in the world in under ten minutes!

Then she got another pair of shocks when she found that she now didn't know any English anymore and seemed to have somehow become a Chinese person.

"“Gāi sǐ!”" (Darn!) She thought “Xiànzài, wǒ gāi gàosù shuí ne? Wǒ bù rènshí rènhé huì shuō pǔtōnghuà de rén!” (Now, who do I tell? I don't know anyone who speaks Mandarin!)

Madeleine Ashley McLeod was feeling more than a bit tipsy after she had drunk three mixed drinks called a Shanghai Express that the bartender Keith was handing out for free as part of a promotion for an herbal health drink from China, with the Shanghai Express being made up of Everclear, Pearl Milk Tea, Super Ginseng Pop (the drink that was being promoted), and a shot of Red Bull.

Whatever the case, as Ashley drank the fizzy green drink, she started to look around and think. "Say, where did all these Asian people come from? They weren't here when I came in," "And why are all these Chinese guys coming up to me and asking me if I speak English!"

What Ms McLeod and the other guests coming in for the free drinks didn't know was that the main ingredient in the Shanghai Express, Super Ginseng Pop, made from, along with ginseng and 22 other remarkable herbs, had some remarkable health effects that usually took more than a month to show up, but which the shot of Red Bull that Keath had added was speeding up considerably.

But Ashley and the others would find out about that when they all sobered up the next day.

"Are you getting enough Super Ginseng Pop in your daily diet?" asks Mother Yang, the owner and inventor of the drink and all Sino The Times Foods International Products. "It builds good bodies in eight great ways!"

"Ooh, it tastes weird!" Lisa Schmitz says, trying her first bottle in Mother Yang's store. "You'll grow to love it," Mother Yang says.

Lisa would indeed have a chance to do just that after winning three free cases, 90 bottles, of the fizzy high-energy drink containing much more than just ginseng.

Two weeks later, Lisa returns with one simple question for Mother Yang.

Yes, daughter Lisa Yang (nee Schmitz), as a matter of fact, it is.

And welcome to our family of fine exotic food products.

Working at one of the few remaining weekly newspapers, Joy Kimbrough had to look for every advantage she could find to stay ahead of everyone else at the Newport Post and avoid one of the growing number of layoffs.

So, while it was with trepidation, Joy still insisted that her genius brother Ben use the teleportation device he was working on for a murky organization to start sending her so she could get first-hand stories, with photos, of stories around the world. She planned on coming up with a playable lie later to explain how she was doing that, perhaps a fake millionaire boyfriend with a private jet? Yeah, that would work.

As a test, they decided to send Joy to Seoul, Korea, directly to the place where they were having a nationwide kimchi festival. Her editor loved food and cooking stories, and this would be just the thing.

Ben Kimbrough set the coordinates, programming it so that it would retrieve her from Seoul in three hours, and activated the device so that Joy became the first human test subject of his teleporter.

With an energetic whine, Joy Kimbrough vanished into a swirl of light and sparks. And reappeared not three hours later but three seconds.

“Ai go, Ben, na amudedo an gass-eo.” Said an attractive Asian woman dressed in the clothing Joy had been wearing. “Ei!!!” she then said after taking herself in.

What the woman, who indeed was Joy Kimbrough, had said in perfect Korean was, “Oh, Ben, I didn't go anywhere.” followed by, “Are kidding me!”

Fortunately, an organization able to build something like Ben had built also had access to very sophisticated hand-held translation devices.

It didn’t take Ben long to figure out that what had happened was that his machine had not sent Joy to Korea but instead scanned the area in Seoul he had picked and reinterpreted Joy to match it, body and mind.

Later, Ben found that there was nothing he could do to undo what the “teleporter” had done. But at least after a day or so, Joy’s English came back.

That, however, was not the case with the rest of her. There was no way she could pull off being Joy Kimbrough anymore. What to do?

What Joy did was put to use some of the other things Ben’s device had put in her head, along with Korean. It seemed that now, due to what was going on in the area he had aimed for, she now knew more about making kimchi than anyone else.

A month later, saw the start of Joy’s new enterprise.

Your recent additions to the Indian transformation makes me think of this somewhat: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ffam7Xrw4cU&pp=ygUVUGFraXN0YW4gSmFuZSBBdXN0ZW4g

Interesting.

Meanwhile, in an upscale suburb of Seattle, Washington, the Sharma Sisters from Hyderabad are still running their successful line of clothing stores.

At first, a small affair known as The Sharma Sisters' Indian Apparel Boutique sold sarees, where they sold sarees, dhoti kurta, salwar suits, and other items of Indian apparel.

Not a business fated for grand success in your average upscale Seattle suburb.

Then, as fate or karma would have it, they came into possession of something they came to call The Threads of Karma Cloth.

This, though super-science they didn’t understand, caused those who wore it (picked from a selected few) to become physically and psychologically attuned to the land of India. This, in turn, led to a much larger clientele in search of other less “esoteric” Indian apparel.

That's why they renamed their shops, which now had four in Washington state, to “You Are What You Wear Fine Indian Apparel.”

Which at last led them to branch out again with the opening of a shop in Boise City, Idaho.

To run it, they hired experienced local sales manager Pamela Sheridan, whom they insisted she and everyone she employed in their name dress in East-Indian style while doing so.

Pamela played along, being a go-along-to-get-along sort of person; plus she really needed the job. However, she had to ask.

“I’m sorry, but isn’t this cultural appropriation?” “Not to worry,” said the Sharma sister, who had helped her get dressed in her first saree. Trust me, wear what I’ve given you, and things will work themselves out before you know it.”

A week later, Pamela Sheridan was surprised to find this to be more true than she could have imagined.

A month later, Pamvati Shiravadan was reassuring her four new Western women hired for the coming opening day that they, too, would soon be as comfortable in their new free sarees as she was.

The four young ladies just hired, Vivian, Chloe, Lydia, and Willow, did not greet this news with much excitement.

However, a year later, the four, now known as Veha, Kavuri, Lakshmi, and Wishi, were more than happy on winning the outstanding sales team with accompanying big bonuses.

An image, just for the heck of it.

I must say I find your most recent scenario cute and amusing. Does the Singaporean lady how speak Singlish like at 12:57 in this video?: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f0Ed_MpzKYg&t=367s&pp=ygUXaSBsb3ZlIGxhbmd1YWdlcyBwaWRnaW4%3D

The one at 13:45 in the video? Yeah, that works for me.

It’s that time of year when to celebrate its founding, The Temple throws out all restraints, turns all the dials to 11, and performs alterations willy-nilly.

The staff, technicians, and advanced beauticians see who can go the furthest, leaving the clean-up afterward.

This leads to some of the best surprised customers' responses.

Lara Thompson here gives the without a doubt number one response.

Followed by Mia Gallagher and the above statement.

Well it is Bethany Carter, deal with it.

Don't worry, we will get you up to speed and fully Korean ...

... When we have the time.

Then we told Paige Bailey that she was looking at a mirror and the fun started.

It was the look on former Irish red-head Valerie Barlow's face as her stylist induced full Mandarin Chinese as her main language, but leaving enough English for the cutest Singaporean accent that got the top prize.

We left Lisa Mae McLaughlin, local leader of the Daughter’s of the Confederacy, with her original English and South Carolina accent because it was too much fun hearing her say “What are my ladies going say when they see me now?” with her full Southern drawl.

Yes, Kayleigh Farrell it is... Welcome to the Philippines… eventually.

"is this a Joke?" asks Alicia Robinson, not knowing yet that she's asking in Cantonese. So much to learn.

Yes Helena Landry, former for real natural blonde, indeed The Temple's Spring Time Bash is a day of surprises!

Quantum Life Forge and Yummy Snacks of Japan

Genius brothers Kenji and Haru Henshin made a remarkable discovery when they created a device that can take a person apart at a quantum level and rebuild them as a new person tucked into reality so they fit in as neatly as you please as if the way they were changed was how they had always been.

One week later, they revert back to their original selves, tempered and changed by their experience, if more than a little confused.

Not being able to figure out how to present such a thing to the public, they decided to “gift” random tourists visiting Tokyo with the opportunity to spend a week as native Japanese citizens and be truly absorbed into Nihon-jin.

They do this by starting a company called Quantum Life Forge and Yummy Snacks of Japan and hiding their miracle devices in their vending machines.

Interesting experiences then ensue for some tourists.

Such as:

40-year-old Sister Abby of Our Lady of Eternal Vigilance, ready to spend the next five to ten years on a missionary mission in Japan rethinks her life after, what she decides has to have been a miracle, she spends a week as 20-year-old Handa Aiko. And instead leaves as sure as the returns to her old self, leaves the order and studies cosmetics.

Stanley Sutton, age 25 from from L.A. visiting Tokyo to raid the Electronic district, but mostly to raise hell in as many bars as he can get away with instead finds himself spending a week as 48 year old salaryman, Arima Dai, He does however at least have a pretty boisterous Weekend off and a head for bookkeeping when he gets back home as Stanley.

Shark in training Arthur Davies of New York, ready to start his swim in the business waters of Tokyo finds this taken out his hands when a beam of light in his face seems to have turned him into an 18-year-old otaku by the name of Furukawa Tatsuya who instead finds himself obsessed with manga, anime and other nerdish things.

“Damn it!” thinks the still very much Arthur Davies part of him, even if he is then doing it in Japanese the only language he knows how to speak, “Now with whatever the hell this is that has happened to me my rival Gary Carroll will have the town all to himself.” Gary Carroll, being his main business adversary also in Japan with the same intent as he.

Or not, as just a few blocks away, Arthur Davies’ rival business kingpin to be, Gary Carroll also finds himself in the beam of one of the mysterious vending machines and a week long remake as Miss Sera Naoko. One of the more interesting “Quantum Life Forge” transformations.

Another rather unusual one happened to newlywed couple James and Mary Barlow from Seattle, Washington. Both were 26 years old, at least until Mary, and only Mary when for a bag of candy from a Q.L.F. & Y.S. of Japan vending machine and became 48 year old Mrs. Miyu Barlow (nee Sato).

This created a change in general reality that caused a little trouble in smoothing things over with James with now finding himself married to a Japanese woman twenty-two years older than himself for a week with the Quantum device only able to half-way get him to adjust to this as the way things had been.

How it changed the flavor of the rest of their marriage after that week and Miyu became Mary again is hard to describe.

But whatever the case, the week long transformations, and life long effects given out by Quantum Life Forge and Yummy Snacks of Japan to tourists continues.

Of the 18,110 islands and islets in the Indonesian archipelago, around 6,000 are inhabited.

One of the more interesting but little-known is the island of Arturmus, with a population of 5,236. It is also home to many remarkable rare plants, one of which, the Star Lotus of Indonesia, is believed, according to local legend, to contain the soul of Indonesia.

It is open to debate whether that is true and what that might mean.

However, one thing is true, and it was recently discovered by a chemist on the island: the Star Lotus does have some remarkable healing properties that aid the hair and skin and promote tanning.

This led to the creation of Indonesian Tan, a new product that the chemist hoped would bring more notoriety and tourist trade to Arturmus, eventually leading to a larger population on the Island.

The lotion’s debut was kicked off with a big event, which attracted thousands of Western visitors.

Above see the before pictures of four that were effected

It wasn't until weeks after the big debut that an as-yet unknown side effect of the lotion appeared.

It seemed that about one user out of every seven got more than a mere tan; they got a tan that became permanent.

It was Permanent because it physically transformed them into someone who seemed to be a native resident of the Islands.

Because all the early testing was on the people of Arcturus, it wasn’t noticed, even if it had been doing anything then.

When tourists from America, Germany, Canada, Japan, and other points East and West came to the launch, used and bought Indonesian Tan, and a few months had passed, giving the lotion time to have its full effect (and helping to keep Aruturmus’s new product from being blamed), things indeed began to be noticed!

Below see those same four long past the Aruturmus event, but still it seems fans of the Indonesian Tan without knowing this was the cause of their new look.

And without doubt one of the more poignant of those effected was Ms Nancy Sarah Rayleigh of Lawrence, Kansas.

Don’t worry however, the new Ms Noude Sari Riyanti is doing fine now having found her way back to Aruturmus.

Hey, wanna try your hand at my favorite genre (Indonesian TG)?

I think I might have something.

What an enchanting recent scenario of yours? Is our protagonist a fan of music like this in any of her forms?: http://stage48.net/studio48/einsteinyoridiannaagron.html

The rest is your (and everyone's) story, it is a you like it.
