A: Hey, dude! Guess what?
B: What's up? No idea...

A: Princess Kako went to the World Expo in Osaka yesterday!
B: Really? That's cool! What did she do there?

A: She checked out a gallery with traditional Japanese craft works, 'cause she's the president of that association.
B: Oh, I remember her visiting my hometown last year for pottery lessons!

A: Then, she made Tsugaru-nuri lacquerware! The government says it's important cultural asset.
B: Whoa, she must be good at that! Did she like it?

A: She asked a craftsman about using more force... maybe she wanted to make it stronger!
B: Haha, sounds like her! And she also visited the Wajima City pavilion. Remember their earthquake last year?

A: Yeah, she talked with the mayor about reconstruction. Hope all is going well there.
B: It's getting better, but still a long way to go...

A: Later on, she checked out Brazil's pavilion! She visited them in June, remember?
B: Yeah, she loves the culture there! And what did she see this time?

A: Paintings with different ethnic groups and cultures. Also, a cooking show featuring an octopus dish with Japanese techniques.
B: That sounds tasty! I'll have to try it someday. Maybe in Sao Paulo next year... Hey, thanks for telling me about this! It was fun!
