山形の気候と空気
Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
It is getting hot in here.
Yes, yes.
It is.
Yeah.
Wonder what's up, you know.
Centralized.
Maybe it's the windows, maybe?
Got a big window.
The outside is kind of hot.
But today it's hot.
The central system is...
Yeah, it doesn't...
Is that working?
Working, I guess.
Yeah.
Speaking of which, the temperature outside...
Is it normal to have this hot season this long or...
It's longer than usual, right?
Right now we're at...
Like the mid-September.
It's too long, yes.
It's too long, right.
Usually it should be getting...
Yes, it can be hot, still the summer, but...
I feel the end of the summer vibe, like, you know.
Right now you're feeling it?
Yeah, yeah.
I should feel that, but...
You should be, but you're not.
But it's just, it's the end.
It's the summer.
It's mid-summer.
It's still the summer, just the summer.
I know, I know.
Yeah.
But I guess the night time is a little bit cooler.
True, true.
It's a little bit cooler, the breeze.
Yeah, a little bit.
But just ever so slightly cooler.
Ever so slightly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Only a little bit.
Yeah.
Does this mean we're going to have a danto?
Uh...
I hope so.
You hope so?
Yeah.
Yeah.
If the average temperature goes higher...
It has to, right?
It's going to be the danto.
Right?
The winter has to go up as well.
I'm not sure about that.
It has to.
Has to?
Yeah.
It's so hot.
Yeah.
Was Yamagata Sendai cooler?
ビジホのシャワー体験
Not really?
The air was literally cleaner.
Ah, okay.
Especially Yamagata.
I mean, the water and the air...
Instantly noticeable.
Instantly.
The moment you breathe in, you're like...
Like...
I don't feel anything, you know?
Like in Tokyo, you breathe in air, you smell something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it's like...
You notice that the moment you go to Yamagata and breathe in.
It's like, oh wait, this is the taste and the smell of pure air.
It feels so clean.
Oh, nice.
It is.
Yeah.
I love that.
The shower...
The hotel that I stayed in, the shower...
Normal, fun, business hotel.
Yeah.
So...
The water was so...
It feels like you're taking a bath in these drinkable waters.
These purified waters.
Oh, nice.
Zero smell of the suidoushi.
Zero.
It was so...
Good.
It was so good.
Nice.
So clean.
Nice.
Well, I knew about the air.
Yeah.
How different, but I didn't know about the water.
快適なシャワー体験
Oh, man.
Even the shower things.
The shower is incredible.
Nice, nice, nice.
Incredible.
It felt so good.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
I've never went to a business hotel, took a shower, and felt really good.
You know, that never happens, you know.
Yeah.
Oh, nice.
Is this usual business hotel?
Yeah.
It's not a thing like...
Some random business hotel, yeah.
With the usual showerhead.
Like nothing special.
Nothing special.
Oh.
Just some cheap-looking showerhead.
Oh, nice.
That's it.
Yeah.
So that was great.
I love that.
It's different.
Yeah.
I mean...
I'm sure the onsen feels great.
Yeah.
You know, using that water.
Yeah.
I guess that's different because it comes from underneath.
Yeah.
But still, everything is cleaner.
Yeah.
And water itself is cleaner.
That was amazing.
Oh, good.
自然と健康の考察
That was amazing.
Lovely.
Yeah.
So you...
Coming back to Tokyo and you felt the darkness then.
I did.
When I got off the Shinkansen, the air was so different.
The moisture was different too.
Tokyo was a lot more moist.
Higher humidity.
Yeah.
So that's that.
But right.
The taste of the air was different too.
Yeah.
I understand that.
Yeah.
I mean, I...
I think that was the first time I felt like,
maybe living in these places could be a possibility in the future.
Like, you know, maybe when I have kids or something.
If I want them to really, you know,
just be fucking healthy and go out there and just play.
Right, right, right.
This would be a great place for them.
Yeah.
When you think about the health of kids.
Yeah.
Like, imagine like kids playing like there.
Right.
With this air.
Yeah.
Like cars, like going and just little tiny park and just what can they do?
Yeah.
Whereas like you go to the countryside, you can, you have a field.
And then you can do things, whatever they want.
It's like the first time I understood the people who love the countryside.
Yeah.
Hated Tokyo.
Don't want to come back.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But it doesn't beat though.
It doesn't like, I would choose Tokyo.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's so much more merit to it.
Right, right, right.
Yeah.
What was, how about Georgia?
Georgia?
Yeah.
Is it like, it's close to Tokyo or like close to Yamagata?
I mean, I never felt it like how I did in Yamagata.
But I'm sure the air is much closer to Yamagata because lots of green.
Right.
Not many people.
Many cars though.
Right, many cars though.
Okay.
Many cars though, so.
But still, the amount of land, the amount of green, I think.
Outweighs it.
Yeah.
So.
Do they have like greens?
Like, do they have forests in?
Yeah, lots of forests.
Yeah.
Not like desert and.
Oh no, lots of green, lots of green.
Yeah, especially, you know, places like Rome.
Lots of green.
Oh, they must be cleaner.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think so.
But I never, you know, I never went to Georgia and felt like, oh, this air, so clean.
The water, I do feel like shady water though.
You taste sewage water, you know, you feel the suidosu.
Oh, really?
You definitely do.
So I guess that's the, I don't know.
One is technology, maybe.
Yeah, sure.
You know.
Right, the purification and stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And one also like it's, as this land is really huge, it's kind of difficult to build like
whole wide suidokan system, maybe.
Yeah.
Can be.
Tasty coming from that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe.
Most likely.
Maybe.
Yeah.
Do they have like lake or?
Yeah, there's lake.
Yeah, there's lake.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's lake.
They don't have like mountains.
No, I don't think there's mountains.
It's like the land.
Yeah.
Plain.
I think so.
Right.
So maybe they have to brought, they have to bring water from very far away.
Yeah.
I don't know where, like in the mountainside.
Maybe, maybe.
Yeah.
I see.
But the humidity is lower.
So that's good.
That's good.
Feels fresh.
Feels fresh.
Yeah.
Right, even on a hot day.
That's good.
It's great outside.
Yeah, that's good.
I mean, there are many good places.
Anywhere you're looking to go?
Yes.
In Japan, I'm looking for places, yes.
You're looking for places?
It's not official yet.
Honestly, I'm gonna visit one day, so yeah.
But, um, yeah.
But some place you're looking into it.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
I'm relatively...
It's been in my mind for a long time, but I never visited it yet.
Okay, okay.
Well, that's exciting.
Right, right, right, right.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Maybe soon.
Maybe soon.
Maybe soon you'll go.
Yeah, maybe soon.
Or not.
Or not.
Next year, maybe.
Maybe depending on the schedule.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Have you traveled Japan?
So many places?
No, not really.
山形と仙台の訪問
But I'm like, I'm trying to visit places as much as possible.
Yeah.
I'm trying to go to places, prefectures that I've never been to.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm putting more effort into that.
That's nice.
That's nice.
Why did you choose Yamagata and Sendai?
So, you're right.
Because I had something to do in Sendai.
Oh, okay.
So, after that, we'll maybe go to a place where I've not been to.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yamagata was like the next place.
シャワーの体験
Uh-huh.
So.
I see.
I just went to, yeah, Yamagata.
So.
Yeah.
Perfect.
Yeah.
All right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
