Welcome to ケビン's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Hello.
So, I've decided to...
Is this on, by the way?
Yeah, it is on.
Yeah.
I've decided...
It's on, too, right?
Yeah.
万博への訪問計画
I've decided to go to the 万博行くこと決定.
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
Yes, next month.
Any advice?
Okay.
Is there anything that you...
So, how many days, first of all?
Just one day.
One day?
Full day?
One full day?
Yeah, I think entering 12, lunchtime, and then just anytime.
Okay.
You're going to stay...
In Osaka.
In Osaka on that day, yeah?
Yes.
Okay, okay.
人気パビリオンと予約
Is there anything that you want to see, typically?
So, I do want to see anything that's...
Popular?
Because I'm that type of guy.
Okay.
Yeah, very miha.
So, if anything's popular, I would love to see.
I see, I see.
So, in that case, you have to reserve places.
The pavilions.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Yes.
So, I was...
I just went there and just...
Without any reservation and just saw some random places and just...
Enjoyed myself being in Banpaku.
So, I have not many knowledge about reservations and those things.
Okay.
But there are certain rules.
Like, you can reserve...
I forget.
But you can search it online and you'll see.
Like, there are rules.
Okay.
You can't, like, randomly, like, reserve all places and just buy many tickets.
Things like that.
Right.
So far, I found out that you can only reserve up to three pavilions.
Yeah.
And then you have to start at least, like, two months.
But you have several chances two months prior or seven days prior.
Yeah, those ones.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, that's one.
If you want to, like, visit some popular places, like, I don't know...
USA pavilions, France.
I don't know.
Like, health place.
Yeah.
Or, like, future Android place or, like, Japanese Japan pavilion.
Yeah.
Those places you definitely need a reservation.
Yeah.
Or you have to line up for two, three hours.
So, that's one.
訪問時の注意点
Second one is for next month, right?
Yeah.
I think it's going to be really, really hard.
True.
So, it's a kind of...
You have to have strong mentality.
Do you have any shades or, like, inside easily where you can, like, chill?
Yes.
Yes.
But there are not many places that you can sit and just, like, just chill.
I see.
Only, I guess, the restaurants or, like, some places.
And the restaurants are probably packed as well, right?
Yeah.
So, in, like, those free pavilions, you can get shades, you can get ACs.
Okay.
It's cold inside.
Okay.
But there were not many places that you can sit down.
And relax.
Yeah.
I see.
Me, I went, I entered to the park at around 2, 3 p.m.
And then stayed there until 10, 9, 10.
But I was...
Swimming?
Yeah.
I was walking, walking, walking.
There were not place that I could sit down and...
I see.
Yeah.
So, and that was in April, I guess, April, May.
So...
Which is not that hot.
Yeah.
So, I think, like, next month, it's gonna be like that.
The hottest.
And you have to stay outside for a day.
So, you have to be...
Be ready for that.
Yeah.
Mentally.
Yeah.
Physically as well.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Can you buy water?
Are they selling water everywhere?
No, no.
Everywhere, everywhere.
食事と飲食の価格
But they have...
Do you have it?
They have places, yes.
Okay.
Yes.
Yeah.
Food, drinks, you...
Especially you.
You should bring your things.
Okay.
I see.
It's really expensive if you buy inside the park.
Okay.
Just one takoyaki is...
One dish of takoyaki is like 1,200, 1,300 yen.
Just one yakisoba, 1,800 yen, things like that.
I see.
That's crazy.
And I remember you saying the quality wasn't that high as well.
Well, it's not very, very high.
Yeah.
If you go inside the pavilions and you...
If you go to, like, the legit restaurants...
Those, like, reservable...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
...sit-down, full-service restaurants.
Right, right, right.
Or, like, down by pavilions, you know, you can find, like, Turkish restaurants or, like...
A country-represented restaurant.
Yeah.
Those foods are, I guess, really good.
High quality.
Okay.
The ones you can buy at the, you know...
The kitchen cars.
The kitchen cars.
Okay.
The random kind of...
Street food.
Yeah.
Oh, it's not...
Well, it's not bad.
It's not good.
It's just...
It's just...
Right.
It's more about making money.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's just like you go to the, what, like, some kind of fest or, like, camping things and just...
You know...
There's dinices.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's the same quality.
Yeah.
So, you definitely have to buy some...
Bring food.
Whatever, like...
Or reserve a restaurant.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I see.
I see.
Yeah.
And it's allowed to bring foods inside.
Okay.
I see.
Officially.
Okay.
So...
I see.
I see.
Yeah.
夜のショーの魅力
You said the night show was great.
Yes.
You don't have to reserve anything for that?
You don't have to.
So, there are two shows at night.
Okay.
One is the water fountain lightning, I don't know, what, the projection mapping to the water
fountain show.
Oh, okay.
With the Kansai band.
Little boy.
Okay.
I remember, yeah, yeah, the story.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
So, that's...
That's one.
That's one.
Okay.
And the other one is drone show.
Okay.
For the drone shows, you don't have to reserve anything, like, there are no, like, reservation
places.
So, nobody can reserve that.
Okay.
You can look up to the sky and just enjoy it.
Okay.
For the water fountain show, you have reserved area.
Okay.
It's just in front of the fountain.
Okay.
If you get...
If you have a ticket, you can...
You get the good seats.
Good seat.
You can have a good view.
Yeah.
I didn't reserve that.
So, I was, like, five, six steps away from that area.
Okay.
But I could see pretty clearly.
Got it.
I was...
I enjoyed that show.
It was satisfying.
Yes.
Yes.
Is it worth watching to begin with?
Do you like shows?
Yeah.
I mean, I do.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
I like shows.
Then, yeah.
I would recommend that.
Okay.
It's not...
Got it.
It's fun.
It's fun.
Yeah.
I see.
It's not like Disney parades.
But...
You mean...
You're saying Disney parades are good or like...
Good.
Okay.
High quality.
Yeah.
Yeah.
大阪万博の計画
Or are you talking about, like...
Like...
Well, both.
Or like...
You know...
Comitaminorta...
Huh?
Comitaminorta...
Comitaminorta...
Comi...
What was it?
Comitaminorta?
Comitaminorta...
Huh?
Tenbo...
What was it?
What do you call those?
Oh, those starlight shit.
What do you call those?
Under the starshit.
Under the starshit.
What do you call those?
It's Japanese.
It's Japanese.
Planetarium?
Planetarium.
Oh.
Those planetarium shows.
You know, it's got some weird stories, right?
Like those quality?
Well, I think higher than that.
Okay.
It's...
Yeah, so...
There are no, like, famous characters or, like, any...
No IPs?
No, nothing like that.
Okay.
I could clearly understand that.
Like, it's obviously, like...
It's a one-time shit.
Okay.
So that's one.
Okay.
But the technology itself is really, like, decent.
Okay.
I guess if those characters were, like, Mickey's or those,
I would say that's just as good as Disney's, so...
I see.
Is it at night?
Yeah.
Okay.
I think twice or once a day.
Okay.
I see.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, and it's, like, around 8...
The World of Foundation, 8.
And then Drone Show, like, 9-something.
I see.
So if you have to go back to Tokyo on that day,
it's impossible to be at the park until that time, so...
Okay.
You better...
You have to have a hotel...
Got it.
In Osaka, in the state of Osaka.
Got it.
I'm thinking about getting dinner outside of the park.
Yeah, outside of the park.
Osaka Shinai.
Okay.
Is what I'm planning to do.
Because, you know, food's not that good, right?
Yeah.
I remember you and Kage-chan, you guys were talking about
when you guys were in Kansai.
Y'all talked about one of the best sandwiches y'all have ever had.
Oh, in Kyoto.
But that's in Kyoto, right?
Yeah.
Is there anything in Osaka that you guys remember?
Yeah.
Good?
Sushi, I think you've visited once.
I already visited that, so...
Yeah.
Is there anything else?
Okonomiyaki.
It's really famous, but the name's Kiji.
Kiji.
Oh, Kiji.
Kiji.
Okay.
I guess they have several stores in Osaka.
And, um...
What else?
I'm not...
I was in Kyoto, so I'm not that...
Right.
Right.
It wasn't your field.
Yeah.
Any, like, you know...
Aren't they famous for, like, Kushikatsu?
Yes.
Yeah.
You didn't go to any good Kushikatsu places?
I went to, um...
That was close to the Umeda station, I guess.
I guess that was Kushikatsu Matsuba.
Matsuba.
Okay.
Yeah, I think that was Osaka Umeda station.
But, it's like, you have, um...
You know it's called Danjon?
Right.
Osaka's Danjon.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's amazing there.
It's not in the Danjon side, but you have, like...
I think that was Shin Umeda Food District or something like that.
Okay.
And you can find, um...
It's not underground.
Okay.
You have, like, narrow, like, little path.
And you have, like, Izakaya and many places.
And Matsuba is one of them.
Okay.
And I remember that was really, really good.
Oh!
I do recommend it.
But, it's like, it's really just standing and just, um...
大阪万博の概要
Oh, it's standing place?
Yeah, standing and drinking place.
Oh, okay.
Tachigui.
Yeah.
Okay.
But that was great.
Okay.
Alright.
Yeah, I mean, I maybe do want to sit down.
Yeah.
I guess.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
But, I mean, um, many places in Osaka.
Like, many restaurants.
Many...
Okay.
I see.
Alright.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
Um...
