@ayalamanga The movie is called "The Accidental Spy" if I am not wrong. It was filmed in 2000 in Istanbul, Turkey. I presumed that's where Vivian got the inspiration to worte the song "Istanbul" for Jay to compose @ that time.
yi si tan bao is Istanbul (in Turkey) and unfortunately it is just computer-made.. heh I hope he comes one day tho.. =]] Just seen his concert 10 days ago... and love him X100 more now =]]
that might be a bad thing. i think he purposely slur words to make it more musical rather than mere words. i like his style, whether or not it's pronounced clearly.
jay's e best & he's hot hot hot!! i do agree w u on ure take.. i do tink its a style tt jay has... it's more deliberate than e fact tt he can't speak / sing well!! He's such a talented guy who has put in a lot of thought into his art... so i do agree w u....
well maybe the MV maker was secretly nostalgic of the old Ottoman rule in Greece...

I think Vivian got the inspiration when she was filming a movie with Jackie Chan in Turkey... that's why she wrote the song "Istanbul"...

The beginning looks pretty much likes Istanbul to me. Though you're right about the rest, it is the Acropolis.

Actually, Vivian Hsu wrote the lyrics, not Jay, so you'd have to ask Vivian where she got her inspiration.
