Himegi Michika Says She Can’t Drive and Struggles Even to Park a Cart at Work

M.ENTERTAINMENT — Himegi Michika said on a Monday-morning chat stream that she neither drives nor rides, and that the gap shows up at her job, where she cannot steer a small push cart straight into its place. She said she ends up circling with it, and sometimes lifts it into position by hand.

The talk of parking began after chat remarked that driving school is easy but parking at the roadside is not. Viewers shared their own trouble reversing into spaces, and one described a funny video in which a driver gave up and shoved a car sideways into a gap. Chat suggested she ride an electric wheelchair, then that she learn Shaolin kung fu and push a car into the space, as in kung fu football. She said she liked the idea of becoming a strongman, guessed a car weighs about 300 kilograms, and was told it is closer to two tons.

Earlier, she said her everyday Mandarin had grown lazier lately, with some similar-sounding syllables no longer kept apart, and that her tongue felt sluggish. Chat called it the mark of a typical Taiwanese speaker and joked that office life had left her too tired to talk. She also said a colleague had coughed at her the day before and that she was worried about a project of hers that was not finished.

Another stretch turned to two mobile games that swap characters between them. She said she no longer played either, while chat debated which game’s players were gloomier. Late in the stream, chat moved from ultralight cars to heavy motorcycles, and a viewer called women who ride big bikes cool.

She closed by saying she would be back the next evening at 10:30. Chat sent hearts and goodbyes.
