I mean, in terms of explaining the basic, you know, information about the country. Very nicely done. I think monarchies of Buha. The country started like a 100 years ago with the emperor called the king called one. Huh. Actually, while researching the idea of gross national happiness, I was really struck by this fourth king, Jigumas Wakra. Born in 1955, he ascended the throne at only 19, beginning his reign as a leader who combined a tradition with reform. In 1988, he married four noble sisters and built a large family with 10 children, becoming a symbol of a king who valued both family and duty. Politically, he is known for choosing to limit the absolute power of the monarchy and leading Bhutan toward democracy. He granted the National Assembly the right to pass a vote of no confidence against the king, established the office of a prime minister, and set 5-year terms for ministers with a system in which they served in rotation. At the same time, he introduced the unique vision of gross national happiness, placing not only economic growth, but also the well-being of people and the protection of nature at the center of national policy. His balanced approach of cautionary modernization emphasizing not rushing development remains influential and admired around the world today. After abdicating the throne in 2006 in favor of his son, he set aside the trappings of power walked among his people, seeing their daily lives with his own eyes. His character also shines through in his ties with Japan. In 1989, at the age of 34, he attended a state funeral of Emperor Shawa in traditional Bhutanese dress. Unlike many other nations that practice so-called funeral diplomacy by seeking economic aid or cooperation from Japan, he immediately returned home after the ceremony. When a curious journalist asked why, the king replied, we came to express our condolences to his majesty, the emperor, not to ask for money. He then observed a month of mourning after his return. M it’s like a festival here and then at the center you have it’s like a investment or if you invest in the country you have to go through like the process written here and then at the center here you also see like the nature and the animals by the video iconic species of bhut royal Bengal tiger snow leopard le red panda very Nice.

Kasamari is a room in a Mulvan household where guests are welcomed basically. So it’s the best room of the house. And here we have this table of hospitality. Yeah. Which if you look into the mirror, we’ll see that is endless. The table itself like the model hospitality. So we link the endless hospitality of Modovan Paul with this endless table that we have here. And um here we are presenting some of the most famous model food. We decided to make everything in white cuz we were trying to keep it minimalistic. And also we have this concept of the food being stuck in time. So the food will be with us forever here.

This is called by the way. How can I How can you can you say like know in Japanese? Oh yeah. Okay, I see. So yes uh most of our traditional motives are inspired from three major themes religion uh because they believed that in everything that we do we should put god first and for instance you can see it here it’s a major symbol uh nature nature also is very important. In fact they used to believe that the union between nature and human being is the divine one um if it they can coexist. Uh that’s why here for instance you can see the pigeon which represents the freedom but also the connection between earth and sky. So like the divine connection right. Uh we have here this is the actually symbol of our traditional dance hor where people are holding hands and uh this symbol is about unity and connection and community. Uh yes as I was saying three major themes religion nature and values human values that’s like one connection. Okay. Thank you so much. Wow. Okay. Finally, I’m done with exploring 25 countries. And the last one, you know, like the ladies, Ma and Maria, was so energetic about, you know, introducing their country. So, which was really fun and, you know, talk to. So, yeah, finally done with here. So, only the two countries are left to explore which is in common F. Okay, let’s go. just uh came back to comed just to give the little gift to the ladies that I just you know met and passionately explained about the country and hope they liked it. Yeah, they seem to be you know like in my designs. Okay, the last pavilion here commons F and then we’ll be seeing the Armania and the Brunai. Oh, this is the Kazakhstan that I’ve seen last time. Okay, here Armania. Wow. Interesting. Oh, look at the letters history and culture that uh it’s Armenian language I guess. So the texture here you can see this is a Armenian language which was uh created in the fifth century when the information about the Bible came into the country but at the time they were you know written in different languages. So they created a unified language for themselves which is really unique in terms of the you know language trees and uh it belongs to like Indo European language tree but it has like a you know very I was told that it’s really unique comparing to the other languages and then this one is like sound like a W and this is like their cuisines and sounds this is cool once the you know light goes you know along with the circle it’s going to tell you about the that thing you know right now it talks about the heritage site Hutchku uh and that’s Romanana open your museum and it’s going to the next one Martana Daran is guardian of our past interesting Wow. Actually the the country is known to be the first Christian country in the history. Yeah. What’s the next one of colors? Cool. So they seem to have 15 regions in the country. And then what is this thing? Oh, it’s like ICT robust STEM education. M. Oh, it’s like a free extra character STEM education. Huh. Even in schools and then oh they are also known to be a great producer of wine. This pavilion was was designed by the tumo which is like a creative technology free of charge learning program for technology and design. Interesting. Ah future of learning. Oh, cool. Then it says that the program that I just explained the tumo is probably you know innovated by the people in the Armenia and then now they have like a facility in the Japanese prefecture called Guma Prefecture. Then there people young people can run about programming and many multiple creative stuff like game making film making stuff like that. It’s like workforce in the country. It’s like 45% are female teenage teenage startups. I see. So looks like they are you know dividing this uh spaces between into two parts. On the right you see basically about history about the past and then on the left talking about the future such as like education for young people that’s how they are designing here. So Armenia really stressed the education of the country. So finally the last one in Brun it’s where is that? It’s as Borunto. So Bernet is located in the Boruno island which is consists of three countries Indonesia, Malaysia and Bernay. Uh but in terms of the size Brunet is much smaller with the population uh 0.45 million people and then here they are I think uh they are Muslim country with you know this mosque beautiful mosque and uh Oh cool. And here you can sit and rest. Let’s see. Nice seating though. Yeah. So here you can wear this hat. It’s called sonkco. It’s like a men’s hat. Yeah. So this is what you can do here. Feel like you are in Pune. So this thing you can see pillars here is represent entrance of the mosque and Islamic culture. Wow. Yeah. It’s like a museum. Uh, cool. Okay, finally I’m done with exploring all the foreign pavilions just by, you know, exploring Brunai Daram. That’s like the last one having like all these stamps finally. And then somehow I got the, you know, like the last one brunet upside down. So it’s it’s not good. But still anyway I’ve you know should have gone to all the foreign pavan stamps as well. So yes it was such a great opportunity to explore all the countries just by you know staying in my country. So yeah that was like amazing experience that I had.

Interesting info that Bhutan is a carbon negative country. I've never heard of that before so I looked it up. It helps that their population is low, but their commitment to keeping a high percentage of the land forested is admirable. At 29:18 that's a pangolin just to let you know; they are critically endangered. Thank you for the video. Once again, very informative! I enjoyed all your videos of the expo!
Nicely done Rokusan. I noticed that the outro is improved.
I cringe whenever the subject of the Marshal Islands is brought to mind. What the United States government and military did there was so irresponsible. My country tested the most deadly and powerful thermonuclear weapons in the Marshal Islanders' back yard. The Marshall Islands remain largely uninhabitable in certain areas due to the lasting effects of the testing, particularly from the Castle Bravo test in 1954, which caused widespread and severe radioactive contamination. The test's immense force destroyed the islands of Namu and Bokonijien, and significantly damaged the island of Kili, which was part of the atoll. While some islands have been deemed safe for habitation ☹ after cleanup efforts, significant areas, especially in the northern atolls like Bikini and Enewetak, are still contaminated and unsafe for permanent residence. The U.S. government's cleanup operations have been limited, and the long-term stability of structures like the Runit Dome on Enewetak Atoll is a growing concern due to erosion. If that wasn't bad enough, the U.S. detonated 1,032 tests on and under our own soil too. ☹ INSANE!
ANYWAY!
Thank you for all of your hard work bringing the 2025 Osaka Expo to thousands of appreciative YouTube fans. Keep up the good work, And as always safe journey's Roku. 😺 🙂
Honduras is already! And why Honduran flag here at the thumbnail! Secondable sugoroku was tried auto-dubbing test in this video!
