within one year they all died since the
summer in Japan is very very hot the
volunteers for the Olympics have a quite
tough schedule even though they are
volunteers and transportation and
staying there is not paid for them
smart Olympics and put an special anti
heat pavement hey guys and girls on ask
Japanese it's Cathy cat today are you
going to talk about the five Olympic
preparation fails that Japan is very
embarrassed about
[Applause]
[Music]
now the area for the Triad lawn has been
decided and however the area where the
water has been to be used for swimming
is pretty bad like the water quality is
very very low
so one of the ideas to help with the
quality of the low water was to what it
was to what what anyways was to put in
oysters so they were hoping that the
oysters would clean the water just by
them being in that you know slightly
polluted probably very unhealthy water
so they dumped hundreds and thousands of
oysters into that area hoping it would
clean it out within one year they all
died
[Music]
since the summer in Japan is very very
hot very very tough and very very humid
there have to be taken measurements of
people do not get heat strokes quite a
lot of people are worried about furnace
were also not used to those temperatures
getting heat strokes I think Europeans
you might struggle with me there and one
of the absolutely amazing ideas to help
with the heat strokes is to put down
four hundred thousand flower pots of
acai gaeul flowers which is translated
Morning Glory yes that's the name of the
flower
don't you read anything else into that
and those flower pots will be made for
elementary school kids now do those
flowers actually make the air colder no
they don't but in Japanese culture as an
image if you look at the flowers you
will feel a little bit cooler it's the
same thing with the wind chimes the
summer wind chimes they give like a high
notice it's like like a high glassy note
and that's supposed to make you think of
like you know cooling things or like ice
melting in your glass but it doesn't
actually make anything colder nothing
that's a culture or old reference that
furnace might not get when they come
they'll see the pretty flowers and
they'll be pretty but I'm sorry we won't
feel any colder for that the volunteers
for the Olympics have a quite tough
schedule even though they are volunteers
and transportation and staying there is
not paid for them they might be required
to wear a certain headgear and you know
I have quite fancy headgear but the
Olympics had gear kind of on that topic
of volunteers the volunteers have been
firmly pushed to volunteer some kind of
have to volunteer you know that's not
quite the meaning what volunteering
should be about and now there are
part-timers we're also getting paid but
there were the exact same uniforms as
the volunteers and the volunteering
people not happy about it so yeah
oh man I mean on that front so many so
many mistakes have been made in order
not to spend too much on the Olympics
this alla ping system is called Smart
Olympics which means they won't spend so
much money on it yes so one of the steps
in aspiration of the spart Olympics is
to build this massive really expensive
really expensive stadium without air
conditioning for the Summer Olympics
[Applause]
have you been here in Japan in summer
when is like 36 37 degrees with humidity
how are people gonna sit for hours
outside in the stadium and not like fall
over from the heat
I'd have told her I'm not sure if that
was such a smart move I know for the
sake of money it does make sense but was
that smart smart Olympics we will find
out the Tokyo Olympic marathon was a big
topic that was discussed quite a lot for
example at what I did the other year
with NHK I went and I measured the
points where the marathon goes true
during times in the morning to check how
hot it might be during the marathon
because I was very extremely hot at the
time and we found out it might be too
hot for people to actually do sports at
this time now what the Olympic Committee
has thought they're like okay well it is
too hot so they spend a lot of money to
rip open the whole pavement on the route
of the Tokyo Marathon and put an special
anti heat pavement that it cost a lot of
money I was like wow respect okay they
tried to do a lot of things that wasn't
probably in the frame of the smart
Olympics but it was a step but the
actual committee from abroad mentioned
their concerns again and now the
marathon has been moved to Sapporo
so all that money they spend on the
street is that literally just on the
street so these are five of the things
with the Olympic game preparations that
Japan is a little bit embarrassed about
and actually not happy about especially
the exploitation of the volunteers is a
big issue that's been discussed quite a
lot so yeah the Olympics are coming up
yay
I hope it will be okay that's that's all
I can say let's see how it goes
that is know if you're gonna come to you
Liam fix if you planning to coming to
the Olympics or maybe why not that is
