Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Hello, hello!
Hey guys!
So, I'm gonna read a message.
This is from...
アイリーさん
外の花見は花粉が辛いので桜を部屋に持ってきました。の回。
Okay.
Is that how you title it?
I think that's how it is.
How's your sakura?
They're gone.
Oh, they're gone?
Yeah, they're quicker than those somei yoshinos.
Oh, I mean, it's not like it's hitting the wind ornothing like that, right?
It just naturally dies away?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, that's sad.
It's a different type of sakura.
I didn't know there are many types of sakuras.
If you say sakuras, there are somei yoshinos,there are this, this, this.
And mine was one of the earliest ones, quickerones.
So, yeah, they're gone.
They're gone.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, I mean, that's the beauty of it.
Yes, yes.
But as there were no strong wind or rains, theydidn't like the petals weren't like falling down.
They were just sticking to the branch, but theywere just dried and like dying.
Oh, like a dry flower?
Yeah, the shrinking version of it.
OK, so it just stayed on the branch and died.
Oh, well, I mean, that's rare.
Yeah, yeah.
I thought they're going to fall down on the tableand, you know.
You'd have like a beauty of the sakura fallingdown.
It didn't happen.
It's got its own beauty.
Yeah, yeah.
It's got its own beauty.
It was a few days ago, I guess three, four, fivedays ago, they're gone.
And I throw those branches away and try to buy newbranches of sakura trees.
But they're all gone.
They don't have it anymore.
The season?
Season's gone.
Oh, OK.
So it's very quicker than the sakuras around thecity.
So you can't enjoy the sakuras in your houseanymore.
You got to actually go.
Oh, OK.
The thing is tomorrow, day after tomorrow andseveral days out, it's going to rain.
03:06
So it's probably going to be gone now, the sakuras.
If you missed yesterday and the day before.
So yesterday was like very, very sunny, bright,warm day.
Perfect for Ohanami.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Did you went somewhere?
I walked past a tree.
But I didn't, you know, get my...
Sit down.
Yeah, I didn't do the sit down and the...
Yeah, I didn't do that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Did you do it?
No, me neither.
I just walked through that.
Sakura Namiki, though, I saw some trees.
At least you saw a lot.
Yeah, yeah.
But I didn't like sit and like have open toes andeverything.
Yeah.
Every year it's like this, you know.
It's the ones you...
Once they, you know, they bloom, the rain and thewind hits you, it's all gone.
So quick.
Maybe today is the last chance, I guess.
Today is the last chance, maybe.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It could be.
Yeah, it could be.
Yeah.
Do they have sakuras in Hawaii?
No, I don't.
I didn't see any sakuras in Hawaii.
But they have sakuras in America, though.
Yeah.
Some places.
Yeah.
No.
Washington was the famous one.
Oh, yeah.
Washington DC, I think they have like a NamikiMichi of sakuras.
I think Japan donated them.
But other than, you know, some...
I think they have random places, I think.
Yeah.
Nice.
I think they have them.
You can sit down under the sakura trees and youcan eat hamburgers.
Sure.
I'm not sure if they're doing the hanami thing,but I'm not...
I don't know.
But yeah, yeah.
Is it prohibited drinking alcohol outside in theUnited States?
Like sit down and...
True.
Is it?
True, it is.
Yeah, you can't drink alcohol outside.
So only you can drink is Coca-Cola.
Yeah, I don't think anyone will do that, right?
I see.
Then maybe like picnic, maybe?
Yeah, true.
Like lunch?
True.
Yeah.
Well, for example, if you do a picnic,
is it still prohibited?
You cannot drink alcohol?
Yeah, you can't.
Yeah, no, you can't do it.
Okay.
I don't think so.
Yeah.
I see.
In the park, in anywhere.
Yeah, yeah.
Beach?
No.
Yeah, in Waikiki, you can't even eat in Waikiki.
On the beach?
Yeah, you can't.
Eating is prohibited.
Wow.
Yeah, so no one's eating.
To get it clean?
Yeah, to keep it clean.
I have an image of you, like people sitting on thebeach,
06:04
eating some, a pokeball maybe, or hamburgers andeverything,
and just drinking some blue-colored cocktail.
Yeah, orange.
Yeah.
Fucking, yeah.
No, you can't do it.
You can't do it.
You gotta do it at the poolside, at the hotel.
I see.
Yeah, then the rules are different.
But at the beach, like you can't do it.
If it's a private facility, then you can?
Yeah, I think so.
So if...
Yeah, I'm not too sure, but yeah.
Okay.
So if maybe the beach is like a private beach,
and you pay to enter, and then maybe you can...
Yes.
So the Hanawa Bay where I went snorkeling,
that place was allowed to eat.
Okay, because it was a private beach.
Yeah, I guess.
No, like public place.
Yeah, I guess.
I see.
Wow, but it's very strict.
It was, yeah, it was very strict.
You can't even eat on the beach.
Yeah, yeah.
Wow.
That's a vital thing for Hawaii, I guess.
Yeah.
The cleanliness.
Yeah.
A little bit unrelated, but at the beach,
you know, a lot of people were getting tanned.
Yeah.
Um, one thing I didn't understand was that
a lot of people were just turning red,
you know, because of the sunburn, right?
And it looked painful.
But they kept on doing it.
Yeah.
That didn't make sense to me.
They were completely red.
It looked like it was like stinging.
It was fucking burning their asses off.
But like, they were like...
They didn't look like they cared.
They just continued on doing it.
Yeah.
They just continued on burning it.
And I was like, what?
That didn't make sense to me.
Yeah.
That didn't make sense to me.
True.
Yeah.
Didn't you try that?
I'm on my journey of having a beautiful skin.
Oh, yes.
The UV is a huge, huge enemy.
OK.
So unfortunately, I got a lot of sunscreen on me.
Yeah.
You didn't lay on the beach for a day.
I didn't do that.
No, you didn't.
I did do that under an umbrella, though.
Yeah.
Nice, nice.
I did.
Yeah.
That felt good.
Yeah.
That's the thing.
I don't... I want to have a beautiful skin.
But a lot of the ladies wants to have like a verywhite skin.
All right.
I... My preference is... I don't want it to bewhite.
I want to be a little bit tanned.
I want it tanned and with a very smooth and clearskin.
Yeah.
I see.
But that's very contradicting.
Because to get tanned, you have to have a lot ofUVs.
You know, you expose a lot of UVs.
But that's going to give you a lot of like spots.
09:02
So that's very contradicting.
I see.
Yeah.
Do you want to get tanned?
Well, yeah.
Sometimes, yes.
Yeah.
Especially in summer, yes.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
Like having a little bit darker skin.
Kind of like, you know.
It looks great.
Yeah.
It looks great on you.
Yeah.
Looks healthy.
Looks energy.
It looks healthy.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
I do want that.
I do want that.
But it's just... It really goes against the methodof having a beautiful skin.
It really does.
How do they do that?
They're just being... Becoming white and white?
Me?
Oh, like in general.
Oh, in general?
Yeah.
Those professionals.
Right.
If you like strictly follow the rules of having abeautiful skin.
You're gonna get whiter and whiter.
Okay.
Because you're avoiding UVs at all costs.
Okay.
So.
There's no way to become darker and darker.
No.
No.
Even those like tanning machines, you know.
Sometimes you find it at the sauna place.
That's very bad for your skin as well.
Okay.
Apparently.
Okay.
So.
Can't do it.
Can't do it.
Yeah.
It will be a very difficult journey then.
Oh, yeah.
You have two goals far away and just don't...
Right.
You have to choose.
Yeah.
Choose your side.
Yeah.
Right.
So.
Yeah.
All right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
