Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Hello, guys.
Hello.
So, let's read some messages.
Okay.
Okay.
Remember we talked about the 北欧?
Yeah, yeah.
Before you went to the hospital.
Yes.
And I shared one of my friend's experience.
Yeah.
She experienced in 北欧 and people were like very close kind of.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you remember that?
Yes.
Yeah, yeah.
So, there are some messages about that topic.

Oh, shit.
Okay.
Okay.
Interesting.
Interesting.
Interesting.
So, so many people that went there for vacation had a really great time, felt like people
were nice and bright and positive, especially during the summertime.
Wow.
I guess the summer is the timing when you should go visit this country, I guess.
Everyone's very positive.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Still, winter is also a reality.
At the same time, I'm now interested in the wintertime.
Right.
Just how, you know.
Right.
Especially after you get to know the summer, how much different it is.
Yeah.
Kind of surprising how much that changes.
True.
Yeah.
True.
And in France, they are very north.
Yeah.
The northern side.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, I guess it's northern than Hokkaido.
Very north.
So, in the summertime, the daylights are very long.
Sure.
In the wintertime, it's like the opposite.
北欧の四季の楽しみ
Yes.
It's true.
Like, in the wintertime, they are, like, wearing, like, thick coat.
They're like this.
They look closed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But in the summertime, they're just almost naked.
Okay.
Being in the terraces and just being outside in the park, water and everything.
So, I kind of understand, like, how they enjoy the summer.
Oh.
That's kind of hard to imagine for a person who's never been so north.
Right.
True.
I guess for them, like, they are waiting for the summer.
Like, it's finally kind of...
Wow.
You think that...
So, there's, I guess, in general, people are happier in the summer and, like...
Yeah.
I think so.
Yeah.
I think so.
I think so.
Like, they're...
There's more weddings in the summer, probably.
Yeah, probably.
More events in the summer, probably.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh.
Well, I guess...
So, like, France, it's not that north compared to, like, those Nordic countries.
Yeah.
So, they have things in the winter seasons.
They have, like, Christmas.
They have...
I don't know.
Like, they can ski.
They can enjoy somehow the winter seasons, too.
So, I guess Nordic countries are more...
I guess.
Okay.
Okay.
Contrast is higher, I guess.
It's really interesting.
I do want to...
I'm now very curious, right?
On the winter side.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And, true.
Like, there are many colorful people in Nordic countries.
They wear, like, fairy or chalet.
Oh, okay.
I love how they dress with colors.
Okay.
They wear, like, red glasses, blue glasses, or, like, I don't know.
Like, it's so good.
They do that.
Okay.
The coordination is very oshare.
Oh, okay.
I didn't know that.
I love that.
北欧のデザインと魅力
Yeah.
Wow.
I really love that.
You know the brand called Marimekko?
No.
No?
Oh, like, you know, IKEA is from Sweden.
Yeah.
It's all colorful and just...
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I see.
They play with colors.
Good?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Wow.
That's great.
That's great.
I mean, especially you can go there.
That's awesome.
It's amazing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're like...
You know those, like, using colors, but very oshare.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Like these, kind of these, these.
They incorporate, like, bright colors.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The use is, like, very oshare ways.
Like, you have to have, like, a sense of coloring to be able to do that, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's not, like, random using, like, pink and orange.
Yeah.
You have to use, like, complementary colors to be able to look good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's true.
You're really good at that.
Yeah.
I guess so.
Wow.
It's so cool.
That's cool.
It's really cool.
Yeah.
Right.
Okay.
And, okay.
That has made my list of places that I want to go a little bit higher.
Higher?
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Which country is the highest now?
Australia.
Australia.
Right now.
Australia.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, after hearing your story.
The Australia?
Yeah.
Yeah, Cairns.
Yeah, Cairns.
Yeah, Cairns.
Cairns, yeah.
Right.
I guess it depends on the places, I guess.
Like, Melbourne?
Yeah.
Or Sydney?
Sydney.
I don't, I've never visited, so.
Okay.
Okay.
It depends on the seasons, too, I guess.
Okay.
True.
So, maybe.
You went there summer?
I guess that was, beginning of the summer or spring season?
Okay.
I forget what was that.
Okay.
I get it.
Yeah.
I see.

Yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
