turn the screen around but it’s very sunny it’s very [Music] warm a so yes I don’t want to get in trouble for um music licensing issues so I’m not going to linger around music for too long to be honest hello Lisa we’re just going to let me go up a bit high so I ignore those people um just going to walk around the city we’re heading to the park I think we’re about 5 minutes away but you’ll get a feel of there being quite a lot of people around um I will go high every now and again to try and uh stay away from the people so I don’t kind of invade privacy too much you get a feel of what it’s like to be in a a real life Japanese City bustling with residential energy I think there are stages everywhere sorry just organizing my bag you kind of hear music happening everywhere it’s kind of um looks like maybe it’s a city hall or something but there’s trumpet music coming out of [Music] there so welcome just me and you for for now Lisa I guess I didn’t do extra advertising aside from all the advertising I did the other day but lovely Blue Sky everyone’s feeling a bit hot and bothered that sounds like Grandpa music coming from over there does isn’t it okay we’re all good for crossing and my camera should be a bit more straight now I’ve managed to align my bag to my arm hello everybody and [Music] welcome yeah it’s really lovely and sunny borderline too hot for my phone I think but

got that wrong I’m trying doing my best with sunglasses on and trooping down the road let me see if that is straight kind of I think we’re quite close to a big green area where we should get to see in here lots of activity food and things there’s some interesting bues buildings around don’t normally come to tatki it’s a church oh looks like a mosque church it’s a bit of a combination check out the back with lots of the buildings being um white or cream it makes it seem like we’re in some Mediterranean country right now us fair skinned ladies are going to get Pink Cheeks I do have sun sun lotion on but perhaps not enough so Excuse me while I walk a bit it’s a bit too bright for my screen so I can’t see messages yet and I’m I think we’re very close it might be a little garden just over there it’s our first time here basically a huge amount of the city has lots of different stages and things on it wow what’s that being thing destroyed destroyed yeah it’s uh it says it’s an art center Oh Let’s cross we’re crossing it’s the tatki artart center yeah we’re very close to the just over there to the left um is the main event that we’re going to T Art Center seems to have a a building that’s um in half which is quite impressive we don’t normally get to see things like that I’m going to see if I can zoom in carefully there we go nice you have a week of cloud and rain I’m sorry to hear that okay there some let me get some of those Japanese rooftops in over there so I’ve been living in Japan for 4 and 1 half years moved to allaka City this is katki city um just four months ago 4 and a half months ago okay let’s head into the garden bit hopefully we’ll find some shade in there it’s really um really really hot hot it’s not for white people it’s kind of the first time it’s been hot we’ve had a lot of um like it’s been warm or muggy hi Lauren nice to see you it’s been warm and muggy um but also it’s rained so much which has made it kind of humid and stifling so welcome to my eight live streams in a row on different kinds of different days and things um for Golden week it’s golden week in Japan it’s part of uh four or five public holiday days each have a special day uh each have a special name the most important one for meot candy floss what do you call it cotton candy yeah cotton candy like that yeah let’s go and see these flowers these look good orchids over here wow a rum Coke that does look very good okay there’s a little Shrine area over here but there’s orchids I want to show you these orchids a little bit of um Japanese cultural sharing so they these orchids are always on display when someone uh some business is having a is having an anniversary or they’ve just open but look at this they’re all real aren’t they amazing beautiful so we’ve got a little mystery Shrine let’s take a look in the shrine before we head around to the chz festival but and I know some of you like to take some screenshots of things so hopefully the Blue Sky makes some nice little screenshots at b as we go [Music] in so nice of course in Japan there’s little shrines everywhere so it’s easy to find them and I can hear a bit of music in the [Music] background just wash our hands a little bit a small gesture of washing our hands I’ll just I’ll this is not the point of today but I just thought you might like to see this as well how nice I got a big grass stuck in my foot right now this this was stuck in my foot okay it says don’t touch the lanterns I it don’t touch so Japanese huh of course I would see these rooftops and Gardens and things ah it looks like there’s a little stage in the distance okay let’s go and get the jazz festival Vibes I think Liv is safe in the shade yes she’s safe I’m trying not to burn my my live my friend wow look so this is um this is part of the temple Shrine part of the shrine around here um but this bit in the middle just here is actually a nor stage which is uh the oldest kind of theater in Japan oh tiny bit pixelated okay I’ll step back I’ll step back um but they’ve set a piano and everything piano and drums so they’re going to have lots of jazz happening there now I’m kind of hoping we don’t run into too much actual Jazz because I think I’ll get in trouble with um with YouTube If I have too much actual live music that’s clearly some song people might recognize so I’m hoping actually um we just get a feeling of everything rather than hearing too much real music but we’ll see we’ll see we haven’t seen so many blue skies in Spring at all in Japan lately so this is very nice okay real music is coming by the sounds of it I have put my sunglasses on again it’s too bright it’s way too bright I’ve been walking around without them some days and I feel very silly even if there is load of clouds yeah this building has a very simple aesthetic look at that it looks like an architectural drawing perfectly finished I think it’s part of the so this must be the new arts building and then the other one is being knocked down and we should be walking into the Park area where we think lots of the activity will be happening but around the two train stations that are here there’s Hani takasi and uh Jr Tak ski Japan Rail um they have lots of little lots of little stands around and lots of um [Music] stages and they’re giving out lots of Flyers that have so much information with all of the different artists I can show you my bag in a bit but it’s all in Japanese and it’s a bit um of an information overload I think personally Japanese people love a line what are they even lining up for what does it [Music] say Parise they’re they’re getting a Paradise number what’s Paradise number maybe it’s like a raffle ticket I wonder if it’s like on or maybe the bus Pixies in many [Music] locations okay let’s go out over that way many people are walking down over that [Music] way yeah Park yeah we can see the bunting nice nice nice oh look this is a good one this is that hi patski City oh and live it’s live tooi city hi manhole cover there beautifully painted beautifully [Music] enameled I think I’m quite happy to have my um my haircut so much shorter I’ve had like I don’t know how many inches off but quite a lot I could touch it down in my back and I can’t anymore um Liv’s got her hair tied up beautifully and normally is down right just that [Music] warm yeah the manhill covers are so good okay please do keep me updated with how the pixelation is going I’ve got one idea I think I’ve got my um my Wi-Fi on as well as my um mobile data I can turn off the Wi-Fi if you guys think that’s a good idea it might be trying to grab Wi-Fi spots although I must say there aren’t really that many into you’re told that there are loads but I don’t think there are this way looks more fun let’s go the fun looking way I’ll go up a bit High try and ignore the unsuspecting passes by still pixelated well what do you think would you like me to turn off my Wi-Fi just in case that makes a difference just in case it is trying to grab grab things like that do let me know wow yeah loads of stores and it’s cooler in here too still pixelated but you can see everything right I’m going to try and turn off the Wi-Fi so it might go really bad for a second mobile data on Wi-Fi off okay so in the next minute or so please let me know if it changed es okay should we go inside this way you’re getting a cute selfie that’s fine Instagram out Instagram out the redness yeah I’m definitely up for sitting down having a nice thing to eat wow cute crafts and things everywhere I won’t zoom in on there
