▼ Drama 〜Part.1
（N: Narrator, A: Akiko, T: Tina）
N: Our story begins as Akiko and Tina walk around in the temple gardens of Kyoto...
T: Look at that! Smell that! Can we go visit that temple? Oh, I am really excited to be in Kyoto!
A: Yes, it's nice isn't it?
T: Of course, there are some absolutely beautiful views. But honestly, I'm excited because there's so much history.
A: Oh, of course I can help you...
T: Yeah, I should have asked you, I was just being stubborn - let's work together. You read the Japanese version and I'll ask you questions from the English...
A: I understand...many tourists come for that reason...well, let's go back to the office.
T: You want to leave already...oh! Look at those huge fish! They're mesmerizing, the way they open their mouths, as if they're talking.
A: （うーん、ただお腹がすいてぱくぱくしているだけで、あんまりたいしたことないと思うんだけどな…）Yes, the koi always want food.
T: Oh, of course, they're hungry! Let me...okay, here, I have some little...fish crackers, I hope they don't mind (haha).
A: I think they'll be fine.
T: Oh, look at that huge one, it's like the King of the Pond...Akiko, what's up? You usually make a great "straight man", but it's not happening today.
A: No, no, I'm fine...
▼ Drama 〜Part.2
（N: Narrator, A: Akiko, T: Tina）
N: Our story continues as Akiko and Tina walk towards Kyoto Station...
T: Even the office view is so different from Tokyo - look at the temple roofs in the hills...
A: Tina, should we prepare for the presentation tomorrow?
T: Hmm...? No, no, we're all set I think - Akiko, what is wrong with you?! You've been distracted ever since we got to Kyoto.
A: Ah...I'm sorry.
T: What's wrong? Here, let's have a cup of tea...I'm going to that tea ceremony training at 6:00, so I'll get a head start!
A: Of course, Kyoto has so much history and many cultural activities, and...
T: Well, yeah, definitely! I can dress up to look like Japanese people used to look, and learn ancient arts. In a way, I feel like I'm in Japan for the first time.
A: Well, it's more like the Japan in your mind, not the real Japan.
T: The Japan in my mind...hmmm. Well, I guess that's true, I am looking at Kyoto from a foreigner's perspective. But, why wouldn't you enjoy the history and culture and...
A: Well, my parent's hobby was Japanese history. So, I came to Kyoto many times.
T: Oh, I get it. You had too much of it too early.
A: I want to satisfy my parents, but they think the only way to be Japanese is to live in the old way.
T: Well, I can totally understand that would be pretty oppressive if you didn't naturally enjoy it.
A: I'm sorry, I should have explained.
T: No worries. How many times have to been to Kyoto, anyway?
A: Hundreds of times...
T: Well no wonder!
