やすよさんのインスタグラムJoin our community Japanese Together「旅モード」と「日常モード」の違いは、本当に場所によって決まると思いますか。建築や空間のデザインが、人の感情や考え方に与える影響についてどう思いますか。「世界があなたの庭」という考え方から、どのような生き方を想像しますか。旅行中に仕事を続けるスタイルには、どんなメリットやデメリットがあると思いますか。歴史や芸術を事前に学んでから旅行することは、体験をどのように変えると思いますか。In this episode, Yasuyo returns as a guest to talk about her busy April and her recent trip through Central Europe. She visited Vienna in Austria, Budapest in Hungary, and also took a day trip to Bratislava in Slovakia. Although the trip lasted only about ten days, it felt unique because she mixed travel with online teaching. Sometimes she would go to an opera or museum and then teach a lesson shortly afterward, creating a strange feeling where travel and daily life blended together.A major highlight of the trip was architecture. Yasuyo was especially inspired by the work of Austrian architect Otto Wagner in Vienna and by the “House of Music” designed by Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto in Budapest. She describes how certain spaces gave her emotional energy and made her reflect on ideas like freedom, perspective, and how “the world can become your garden.”The conversation also explores the meaning of travel itself. Yasuyo talks about how continuing her normal routines abroad—such as working, going to concerts, or even using saunas—made her question what really separates “travel mode” from “daily life.” The episode becomes a thoughtful discussion about mindset, borders, culture, history, and the joy of seeing the world with curiosity.久しぶり(ひさしぶり)- after a long time落ち着く(おちつく)- to calm down録音(ろくおん)- recording日帰り(ひがえり)- day trip首都(しゅと)- capital city感覚(かんかく)- sensation, feeling歴史(れきし)- history都(みやこ)- capital実験的(じっけんてき)- experimental体力的(たいりょくてき)- physically深夜(しんや)- late at night寝不足(ねぶそく)- lack of sleep憧れる(あこがれる)- to admire建築家(けんちくか)- architect郵便局(ゆうびんきょく)- post office豪華(ごうか)- luxurious地下鉄(ちかてつ)- subway溶け合う(とけあう)- to blend together文化施設(ぶんかしせつ)- cultural facility緩やか(ゆるやか)- gentle, gradual景色(けしき)- scenery意識(いしき)- awareness引き寄せられる(ひきよせられる)- to be attracted温泉(おんせん)- hot spring哲学的(てつがくてき)- philosophical日常(にちじょう)- everyday life配慮(はいりょ)- consideration移動(いどう)- movement, travel雰囲気(ふんいき)- atmosphere賑やか(にぎやか)- lively
