  • Shin, next course same time here.

  • Daddy, stop that!

  • Help me!

  • (SHIN) I did it!

  • (GREG) Go, go, go!

  • (AIKO) Up the hill.

  • No hands!

  • Ha, ha!

  • Ow!

  • You can only go on this, this, this.

  • I have to give this to the man.

  • This map shows the course.

  • (GREG) What did you write on there, Aiko? (AIKO) I wrote my name.

  • (GREG) Free? (AIKO) Yeah.

  • (GREG) Oh. (AIKO) And then you give it to the men.

  • (GREG) In Japanese, what would you call them?

  • (SHIN) They are not called anything.

  • (GREG) If you'd say "Hey, hey, hey, you, over there", what would you say in japanese?

  • (SHIN) "Ojisan".

  • (GREG) And what happens if you don't follow the directions, what do the "ojisans" do?

  • (SHIN) "Kochi desu yo", and that means "it's this way".

  • (GREG) So, what did you guys fail to do here?

  • (AIKO) Um, the people were trying to cross, but we went.

  • Actually, move back. Move back. (GREG) Hey! It's green light, green light!

  • Let's go!

  • You can give a boost.

  • You ran a red light.

  • (AIKO) Yeah. (GREG) Why?

  • (AIKO) I was waiting too much.

  • (GREG) OK. So here it's turning red.

  • And then you decided to go?

  • (AIKO) It's yellow.

  • (GREG) Why are you sitting in the middle of the intersection? I told you you gotta go!

  • Look. You're in the middle of the intersection!

  • (AIKO) Yeah. These are all the street signs of the whole world.

  • (GREG) Those look like just Japanese street signs.

  • (AIKO) Nope. They are from the whole world.

  • This means it's for bikes.

  • This means only 50.

  • (GREG) That means, uh, lava is jumping down.

  • (AIKO) No, no, no. There might be rocks coming off.

  • (GREG) Oh! Then, rocks.

  • What do you think about the traffic park?

  • (AIKO) It's fun.

  • It's like a little mini course.

  • Like you have your own, um, traffic lights,

  • and then you stop, and then like, there is like a real car.

  • And then it's like so fun.

  • (GREG) Are parents allowed on the course as well?

  • (AIKO) Yeah.

  • (GREG) And can they ride the bikes?

  • (AIKO) No.

  • If, um, you guys come to, um, Japan,

  • And then, if you find this park, you should go. It's so fun.

  • Do you have a traffic park where you're from? See you next time. Bye.

  • (GREG) Shin, what does "tomare" mean?

  • How come you stopped?

  • Does the "tomare" sign mean "stop"?

  • That's why you stopped?

  • You're crazy.

  • You can move now.

  • Stop touching the sign and you can move.

(AIKO) Hello, world! Where I'm from in Japan, this is a place where you learn how to drive.
