Hello, my name is Izumi.
Nice to meet you.
Hello Izumi, I am Naomi.
Nice to meet you, too.
I'm very glad to meet you.
I'm from Osaka.
But I'm not Osaka Naomi, a professional tennis
player, you know.
Oh yeah, I'm surprised, and you are cheerful.
So what is your full name, Izumi?
My full name is Hanba Izumi.
I'm a Japanese.
I write my name like this "半場 泉"
in Japanese characters.
My family name Hanba means "in the center
of the place".
And my first name Izumi is "fountain"
or "spring".
So my full name means "There is a spring
in the center of the place".
I hope you will be healed by the word "fountain"
in my name.
Would you like something cold to drink?
Thank you.
Coke, please.
Would you please give me more coke?
Excuse me, but could I have some more coke?
Sure. here you are.
It's delicious because I'm thirsty, you know.
Actually, I was a little nervous because
I met you for the first time.
And it is so hot in Kyoto today.
Here in Kyoto, today is 41 degrees Celsius.
The word "Celsius" is the same
as "centigrade".
"Centigrade" is represented by
"C".
41 degrees! It is an incredible heat.
Kyoto is a basin surrounded by mountains,
so summer is hot and winter is cold.
It is hot and humid every summer in Kyoto.
Hydration is very important in such a hot
summer.
Watch out for heat stroke.
And please be more careful with covid-19
wearing a mask and washing your hands.
Would you like some more coke?
No, thanks.
This is enough.
The air conditioner in this room is working
well, so it's pretty cool, thank you.
I'm afraid that I may be shameless, but if
you like, can I have some hot Japanese green
tea?
Hot Japanese green tea?
Okay, I'll prepare it.
Please wait a moment.
