  • Where I'm from,

  • this is what walking around Tokyo is like.

  • There's lots of little paths

  • between these houses.

  • And they're so small.

  • So now they're building a house.

  • And the house is small

  • and it even doesn't have a yard.

  • Is it really close?

  • Yeah.

  • It's like so close.

  • This.

  • Only this much,

  • and there's the next house.

  • And then this

  • is a yard.

  • This is supposed to be a yard.

  • All of this.

  • I don't think that's a yard. I think you're lying.

  • No. No. That's true.

  • You can just plant flowers and this is only your space.

  • But this house has lots of space for like a yard.

  • Well, you can play a little bit.

  • Would you play in that yard?

  • Yyyyyyesss.

  • What are you doing?

  • I'm breaking these.

  • Oh! Wow! Wow! What are you doing?

  • What are you doing?

  • Ugh! That's gross!

  • And what does this look like over here? What did you see?

  • These look like Lego bricks.

  • Yeah? Oh, we found a Lego brick.

  • Yeah. That's a mossy Lego brick.

  • This is just another little path between houses.

  • So these houses are so close to each other

  • I can just

  • touch them.

  • And they only have this much space between houses.

  • In Canada they are like a lot, right?

  • Where is the back yard?

  • The back yard? They don't have any back yards.

  • Oh. Wait. No. This is back yard.

  • Well. Like some houses don't have back yards.

  • You can play in there. Look. There's lots of room.

  • Yeah.

  • A Canada back yard it's like a Japanese park.

  • So this sign means you can't play in the water.

  • What???

  • What water?

  • You can't play in that pool.

  • Then why isn't water there? You can't play in it.

  • Really? I saw kids playing in the summer time.

  • But they don't read this.

  • That kid looks like he's having fun. Are you sure it says "don't play"?

  • Yeah. It says "don't play and have fun".

  • Really?

  • Yeah.

  • They should have a big X across them then.

  • OK.

  • Where does it say that? Show me where it says "don't play".

  • Which part of it?

  • It says...

  • Where?

  • Right here. "Do not play".

  • There might be glass so you can't play inside.

  • And there might be nails that will hit your feet.

  • Oh.

  • And go [makes noise].

  • And your eyes will hurt.

  • Oh, yeah! Look at this guy. He has no eyes. Look at his face!

  • Oh, no!

  • Look! Actually something... Look: his eyes they got poked out and they're bleeding down.

  • Oh, no!

  • "Oh, no! My eyes!"

  • Now, this is actually a real, real home.

  • I'm gonna go!

  • That's a real home with door.

  • Really?

  • Yeah!

  • You're not lying? That's a real home door?

  • Yeah, yeah! Yes!

  • That's a home door?

  • That is a home! And that's the real, real, real, real entrance.

  • Yeah. There are some homes like this. I watched that on TV.

  • Go that way.

  • This is the real, real, actually real house entrance.

  • You can go from this way, or from that way. Yeah.

  • See you next time. Bye, bye!

  • Here's another little path bweeteen... bweetee... between houses.

Where I'm from,
