So this is...
This one.
From Natchan.
Thank you.
Thank you.
初めまして。
初めまして。
いつもポッドキャストの配信ありがとうございます。
早速ですが質問です。
海外旅行の準備
海外のライブに行く際に荷物のサイズ規定がありますが、
どのような格好が適切かご存知でしたら教えてください。
4月に自分の好きなアーティストが初めてワールドツアーを開催します。
私は6月に行われるロンドン公演に参加予定です。
海外旅行は今まで行ったことがありますが、
一人で行くのは初めてなので、
今から不安と期待でいっぱいです。
なかなかできない経験だと思うので不安はありますが、
楽しんでいきたいと思います。
これからも配信を楽しみにしています。
呼んでいただいてありがとうございました。
Thank you.
Thank you.
イベントの持ち物制限
I've never attended a concert overseas.
Have you?
Not big ones like this arena thing.
A small live house.
But we did go to a soccer game.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
NBA in the United States.
NBA in the US, that's right.
Both did have a size of kitei.
It's like a sling bag.
It was actually really small.
You couldn't bring in a backpack though, right?
It was just like a wistopochi kind of size.
Yeah.
Before we went to...
Oh!
Uh-oh.
You okay?
My mouth isn't properly working today.
Before we went to the football game or NBA game,
I searched online and how should we prepare for that.
Yeah.
And then it says on an article,
in live concerts or football events or any sports events,
it's now like kind of basic that you cannot bring anything.
Oh.
It's like a basic rule.
Okay.
But one, just smartphone.
That's it?
Yeah.
Should be like this sized and thin like this.
Uh-huh.
So that's the basic rule.
Okay.
In Europe and USA.
Uh-huh.
So obviously you cannot bring your backpack.
Uh-huh.
Or like kind of tote bag.
Tote bag too.
No, you can't.
Can't bring that.
Yeah.
Even like, you know, like a...
How do you say it?
Shoulder bag?
Yeah.
You know, you've got like a triangle little...
Uh-huh.
You know, you've got like this...
It has machi?
Yeah, yeah.
It has thickness to it?
Yeah.
Maybe not.
So you can only...
You basically can only bring your credit card?
Yeah.
Wallet.
Phone?
Yeah.
Passport.
And that's it?
Yeah.
Do you need a passport?
パスポートの重要性
Yeah.
When you're abroad, you have to always carry your passport.
Oh.
As an identification.
Oh.
Okay, I see.
Yeah.
Is that...
Wait.
Is that like the basic rule right now?
Do you have to bring your passport everywhere?
Because, you know, I've never used my passport.
True.
And people are just so fucking like,
Don't lose your passports, guys!
They say it's like the worst thing that could happen overseas, losing your passport.
So I'm like, what's the point of me bringing it outside anymore?
I just have a copy of the passport in my phone as a photo and that's it.
What do you think about that?
Do you think that's a little like dangerous?
I don't...
Honestly, I don't have any idea.
Oh, okay.
I'm not even sure if it's like a strict rule or not.
But I'm just carrying always because I kind of...
Years ago, I heard of it.
So I'm just always carrying it.
But not sure if it's advice from ministry or strict rule or law.
I don't know.
I have no idea.
Oh.
But I guess it's for the case you'll be asked from the police
or like local government or things like that.
They'll ID on you?
Yeah.
So if you have your copy or your copy photos in your phone,
then I guess it works, no?
Because if you can prove it, then that's...
Yeah.
So...
I don't know.
I've heard if you...
Yeah, I have no idea.
Let me check.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's do that.
Because I haven't been checked for a long time by just carrying all the time
and feeling, oh, it's a little bigger than...
Yeah.
It should be smaller.
Yeah.
Like, right?
It should be like this.
It should be as small as a credit card.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I agree.
パスポートの重要性
Should I carry my passport when I travel abroad?
Okay.
Okay.
There you go.
Sure.
Yep.
Let's see.
I see.
So first of all, it's not strict rule or law or anything like that.
Okay.
It's better you...
It's safer.
But still, it's better you bring it, carry it with you.
Because something might happen and you have to identify yourself.
Yeah.
That's it.
That's it?
Yeah.
Okay.
So there are two risks if you don't carry an article.
Okay.
One is the situations that...
They cannot ID you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or, like, buy something, liquor.
Oh, then you have to...
Put it into the casino.
Okay.
Then your age.
Yeah.
Right.
Men's items, hotels.
I see.
The police.
Yeah.
Or, like, if you, like, happen...
Happenly?
If you happen to?
Yeah.
Happen to, like, involved in troubles.
And if you have passport, then you will be saved.
Yeah.
Right.
You will be, like...
Yeah, because they'll know who you are.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So...
Because Japanese passport is really strong.
Oh, okay.
I see.
Yeah.
And also, another side is if you left in a hotel rooms...
Okay.
It will be robbed.
It's risk.
It is risk.
It is risk.
It is risk.
Yeah, that's true.
That's what they say.
Okay.
Yeah.
So, keep it with you.
It's more safer.
What do you think about the little storage?
貴重品の保管方法
The little...
Yeah, like a box.
Safe key?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That heavy...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Heavy duty storage they have in every hotels.
Do you use that?
I don't...
Oh, you shouldn't.
You say...
I mean, is it dangerous to say that?
It's like...
If you say you don't...
Because I carry...
They can get you.
They can get you, right?
Yamachan does not keep his belongings in the safe.
True.
Okay.
Yeah.
Maybe we should cut this.
We should cut this.
Yeah.
Yeah, I sometimes use that.
Me too.
But honestly, I do.
Honestly, I use it.
You do?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, when I feel not safe...
Me too.
Like, when there's like a possibility of...
When I know that there's gonna be room service coming in, I definitely use it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, that's one.
And then, copy.
What about copies?
There are people who brings the copy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But, recently, in many places, copy doesn't...
Does not replace the actual physical passport.
Yeah, it doesn't work.
So, it's like meaningless.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
So, in this article, it says, it's better you have copy and the passport.
What the hell is a copy for?
What the hell is a copy for?
I was like...
I see.
Oh.
パスポートの安全な保管
So, it's better you bring every time the real passport and do this.
That's dangerous.
So, you can just copy.
Oh.
Use a copy so that it's safer.
Okay.
I kind of get their point.
Yeah.
Keep the real ones into, like, deep, safer place.
Like, don't get it out.
Yeah.
Don't take it out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Don't take it out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, I mean, that's what I do.
I have another question.
Okay.
What is somebody going to do with my passport?
What could happen to my passport if I lose them?
Like, who would do what with it?
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
Identity theft?
Yeah, maybe.
It's your picture, your real name.
Maybe they use those things, maybe.
Or not.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Maybe they use those things, maybe.
Or nationality, maybe.
But a lot of people know that.
Like, a lot of people already have that information.
Like, they know my face, my real name, and my nationality.
That's already...
Well, my friends know it.
True.
So, what's that?
What's going on?
No idea.
Like, if you have like a passport number, that would be...
Passport number?
Okay.
I don't know.
I have no idea.
I mean, when we make...
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Okay.
Sure.
not return to Japan.
That's the...
Yeah, so that's definitely...
That's definitely...
I have no idea how are they gonna use this.
I don't know.
You can pay anything.
You can't...
Oh, you know, right?
It's not an immediate method of payment.
So what are you gonna do with it?
I have no idea.
But they're gonna use that passport for,
I don't know...
Something?
Some crime that we don't even know?
Yeah, steal the passport and change photos
and it do something.
Oh, I see.
Like the IC chip inside could be like...
Oh, okay.
I mean, I have no idea what they're gonna...
Yeah.
This is...
Yeah.
Okay, I see.
So about the safe box.
Yeah.
It talks about the safe box as well.
The security box is not safe.
So if you were going to a concert,
then you basically do not have anywhere
to keep your laptop or any of those like...
For example, your Japanese wallet, right?
You're not gonna...
You don't need a Japanese wallet outside in London, right?
So you're gonna have to keep it somewhere.
But if you can't keep it at the safe,
Yeah.
Then there's no other place
you can store your valuables in, right?
Anymore.
I would rather trust the safe box than the front.
Yeah.
So, okay.
So I guess you can't go to the concert anymore.
You have to give up the concert then.
Okay, all right.
携行の必要性
But yeah.
But just talking about the risks, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do what you think is right for you.
Yes, yes, yes.
Yeah.
But it's not like a law
that you have to carry your passport with you 24 seven
when you go abroad.
Yeah.
All right, good to know.
All right, thanks for listening guys.
Okay.
Bye-bye.
