Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Today, we are inside a car.
Yeah
Our first time doing a drive'n talk.
Yay!!!
Drive'n Talk
The reason why we wanted to drive was because, you know...
You know how every Monday we're like,
Oh, look at the weather!
Yeah
Like it's so sunny outside.
It's like, oh my God, I can't believe we're missing this weather.
Yeah yeah
Why not going out and take lunch, just strolling around.
Right, and the one day we do our driving talk, it's like, wow, very cloudy, it's almost rainy.
Wow, I know, it's very cold.
You know, it's very cold, I wear this hoodie on.
Yeah, but you know the news said that it was going to be sunny.
Oh, really?
Yeah, from 12.
From 12, okay, hopefully.
So it's going to be out.
Okay, hopefully.
Pretty thick cloud, huh?
I'm not sure they're going to move on somewhere, it's very thick.
Yeah, very thick though.
Yeah.
But it is outside, feels good, right?
Yeah, it's true, it feels good outside.
Going outside, yeah, I mean, but it's closest to the rainy.
Like, even if it started raining, I probably wouldn't be that surprised because of the thick cloud.
Wow.
Yeah.
All right, we are at the Tokyo Station.
Somewhere around Tokyo Station, I guess.
Right, very, yeah, very close to the Tokyo Station, the Yaesu side right now.
We are going to, like what we said the other day, we're going to have a tour of Tokyo.
Hato Bus Tour.
All right.
Yeah.
This is our own private Hato Bus Tour.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
So Hato Bus Tour is, you know, starts from Tokyo Station.
So that's why we are, you know, starting from around Tokyo Station.
But I guess the other side of Tokyo Station is the original, I guess so.
All right, we got to get to the other side of Tokyo Station.
Yeah, yeah.
All right, let's, okay, you want to get to the other side of Tokyo Station?
Yeah, let's head to the Kōkyō.
Kōkyō, got it.
Yeah.
Got it.
All right, I'm going to go there without entering the navi.
Great.
Do you drive often?
Yeah, I drive.
Free?
I don't know if it's often.
Yeah, I mean, I do car sharing.
Oh, yeah.
And I do a lot of that.
Oh, great.
Yeah.
Do you like driving?
I love driving.
I love driving.
You love driving.
It's fun.
Yeah, you said you, when you were a kid, your dream was, is that okay?
Yeah, that's okay.
Your dream was to be a bus driver when you were a little kid, right?
03:03
Yeah.
So I guess you loved, like, driving.
It's like a, it's like a little bus here.
Oh, that's true.
It's like a little bus.
Yeah.
That's true.
But you know how crazy it gets with, like, Tokyo, like, you just want to get from point
A to point B.
Yeah.
It's like, oh, when you look on the map, it's like, oh, yeah, it's very close.
Yeah.
But like, all of a sudden, it's like, ah, you can't go in here, bitch.
You can't turn left, bitch.
Gotta go the other way.
Yeah.
And then, like, you have to, like, you know, you have to take another mile or two.
Right.
That's pretty crazy, right?
That's crazy.
Yeah.
Oh, look at the building there.
Pretty sexy building.
Yeah.
Sexy Tokyo building.
Wow.
I love looking at these sexy Tokyo buildings.
Yeah, me too.
Me too.
Wow.
What's that?
That is a, um...
Office?
Yeah, it's an office slash...
Like, a shopping place?
Yeah.
I think it's pretty new.
Yeah.
I love the building because they have forest.
Right.
They got, it's like half forest.
Yeah, I love that.
Do you drive a lot?
No.
Recently, I don't, I don't drive at all.
Oh, okay.
Well, you're not in any car-sharing service or anything like that?
No.
When I drive, I just use a rental car.
I see.
Yeah.
The last time I drove, my rental car was, like, a year ago.
A year ago?
Last summer.
Last summer, I went to Fuji Rock, Fuji Rock Festival.
Yes.
Which was held in Naeba, Niigata, Naeba.
Oh, wow.
So I went there by car, yeah, like six hours.
Wow, long drive.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But other than that, I don't drive.
No.
But, uh...
I guess on the next shingo?
Yeah.
Okay, I guess that shingo.
So we came to the other side.
Should we go to Koukyo, or should we go to the Marunouchi side of Tokyo Station?
So, actually, the Hatabasa starts from the Marunouchi side.
Okay.
But do we have any, like, spotting, like, stopping spots?
Oh, true, I don't think so.
Yeah, so...
See, look right now.
Right now, I couldn't even go, I couldn't even turn right.
Yeah.
I wanted to go to the, man, the Marunouchi side, but okay, I just lost it.
06:00
Still.
We just need to get into the Koukyo.
Right.
We had no choice.
All right, let's go to the Koukyo.
Yeah.
All right.
Wow.
I hope your car sick's okay, you know.
Yeah, I'm doing pretty well.
But if I read something, I'll be bad.
Got it.
Yeah.
Got it.
If I drive carefully, is that going to help?
Even when I read?
No, no, no, like, just in general.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, that's very important.
Like, what gets you?
Like, is it the turns or is it, like, the pullovers?
Like, is it the stops and the acceleration or is it, what gets you?
I don't know.
Like, I guess everything.
Everything?
Yeah.
Um, I hear it's the smell as well.
Is that true?
Yeah.
The smell gets you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, wow.
So, um, do you want to, do you want to circulate it?
Yeah, thank you.
Does it get better?
I got it, man.
Yeah.
Got it.
So if I need fresh air, I...
Got it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, feel free to open the window.
Sorry, I'm a terrible, terrible passenger.
Oh, no, no, no.
I'm very bad at, you know, I get car sick all the time.
All right.
Yeah.
I'll be extra careful with the driving then.
I mean, that helps though, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hopefully.
But if we talk like this, you know, and like not focusing on the fact that I'm in the car,
that helps a lot.
Wow.
So the fact that I brought up the topic already kind of ruined it, I guess.
No, it's okay.
It's okay.
All right.
I don't even...
Okay, right there.
Yeah, that's good.
Wow.
Wow, look at that.
Lovely.
That is a lovely...
You know, this is a great place to picnic, actually, you know?
Yeah.
It's amazing.
There are some like benches.
Yeah.
Wow.
It's an amazing place, you know?
It's like Central Park.
Yeah, true.
It's like Central Park, yeah.
It's in the middle of Tokyo.
True.
You got this huge green.
Wow.
You know, I love it.
I love here.
I love this place.
And it's free.
Like if you go inside, I don't know, but here it's free, right?
Here, yeah, it's free.
You can chill.
Wow.
Anytime.
That's all right.
Very lovely.
Very lovely.
Have you seen those...
You see there's a, you know, Omawari-san right there?
Yeah.
Do you think...
I've been noticing that they've been wearing this new helmet.
Oh, true.
Did you notice that?
No, I just...
09:00
Like within a week or two.
Like I've been seeing a lot of these Omawari-san wearing this sporty looking, you know?
Helmet.
Helmets.
I've been wondering if that was like a new thing or not.
Oh, I've heard that that it's going to be like...
I wasn't...
Oh, helmets on bicycles.
Yeah, like Dorokugimu or something from...
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Oh.
So if you ride any kind of bicycle, then we need to put helmets on.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
But it's still like...
It's a Dorokugimu?
Yeah, not like officially...
But still, we're on the way.
We will have to stop here.
We will have to stop here.
We're gonna out.
We're going out.
Yeah.
You can't go in here, right?
This is not a...
Oh, there's a parking lot over there.
Yeah.
But it doesn't look like a...
But...
Right.
It's only Koukyou Kankei Sharyou.
Oh, right.
And like Kankou Basu.
Basu.
Yeah.
All right, we're getting out.
No place to stop.
Just getting out.
So we just enter the Koukyou and just go out.
I'm gonna make a turn here.
Yeah.
Right?
So...
I love this...
Ohori-like...
Oh, it's up here.
Oh, yeah.
It's very difficult to find a place to stop.
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
We are...
We have arrived at Koukyou.
Yes.
Yay.
We just...
We just got out from Koukyou.
So, wait.
How do Hato buses enjoy their shit?
So, I guess we entered from very...
Not center.
Got it.
Of Koukyou.
So we just entered very...
How do you say?
Like very...
The edge?
The edge, yeah.
Yeah.
Edge.
And then go out.
Like, we're just getting like this.
But Koukyou is actually that big.
I see.
So if you start from like Marunouchi area...
You can just pass more like center here.
And then they must stop, I guess.
Hato buses will stop somewhere in the parking place.
12:02
And then they just walk and get into Koukyou inside.
I see.
Yeah, I guess.
I guess.
Yeah.
But we saw the Koukyou.
Yeah, we saw.
How about we drive around this road?
Like, boom, right here.
Is that the best thing?
Is that the best way?
Yeah, so that we can pass through...
Yeah, the Koukyou.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The so-called Koukyou.
Yeah.
Try that, yeah.
All right, let's do that.
Great.
All right, we'll do that on the next episode.
All right.
All right, thanks for sitting, guys.
Yep.
Bye-bye.
