Aya: Well, I'm going to change clothes.
Aya: I'm scared!
Aya narrator: Did you know? Dolphins are very delicate.
Aya: It's cold!
Aya narrator: You can't use a loud voice.

Aya: Secrets like "how's the color of the sea water?" Or "how are the whales doing this time of year?"

Aya: What's going on?
Lei lady: We're gonna make a flower lei today.
Aya: Oh, this?
Aya narration: It's unexpectedly difficult to make a real lei.
Aya narration: You take flowers from nature and make it by passing through them one by one with a needle. This is difficult.
Aya narration: But of course, I picked it up.
Aya: Like this?
Lei lady: Through the front.
Aya: Like this?
Lei lady: And then through the back.
Aya: OK. Ah...
Lei lady: There you go.
Aya: Ah ah ah...
Lei lady: Be careful, that hurts. It's sharp.
Aya: Here?
Lei lady: Put your fingers here.
Aya: Here?
Lei lady: And then...
Aya narration: And now for some Matsuura bits of knowledge.
Aya narration: If you put your lei in the refrigerator, you can preserve it for about a year.
Aya narration: Everyone, that's something to remember.
Lei lady: And you're almost done!
Aya: Ah, okay! Oh oh, it...
Lei lady: That's okay, we have more.
Aya: Thank you.
Aya: OK?
Aya: Alright.
Lei lady: OK, done!

Aya: It was totally black. Nothing showed up. And by the way, the picture I took of the hula teacher that I thought would have a nice sunset was totally black. The picture we took together was totally black too. It looks like a failure. [Timecode 49:11-49:21]
Aya: Well, where do I attach it?
