00:00This is a special edition of Surprising Long Distance Mathematics!
00:05Why are you going so far away?
00:09Wow! This is amazing!
00:13Wow!
00:15This is amazing!
00:16Is this overseas?
00:17So, it's a squid quiz!
00:20Now, where am I right now?
00:23Please guess!
00:24By the way, the temperature right now is minus 12 degrees Celsius!
00:30Is it that cold?
00:31It's cold, but it's Korea!
00:35Oh, I see.
00:37That's possible.
00:38So, the correct answer is Mongolia!
00:43Now, this time we came to a place that is familiar even in the TV series, Vivan.
00:50It's a vast land and a country of oil and wood, Mongolia.
00:57This is my first time doing long-distance mathematics, so I want to get along well and do a lot of mathematics.
01:04What does that mean?
01:06This time, it's a long-distance mathematics overseas edition!
01:12We're going to get close to Mongolia's long-distance mathematics students!
01:16I wonder what it's like.
01:17Mongolia is a really nice place!
01:19I stayed at a hotel yesterday, but I stayed at a long-distance mathematics club.
01:23Oh, really?
01:24There's a long-distance mathematics club in Mongolia?
01:27The squid is in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia.
01:31I want to go there!
01:33Ulaanbaatar has seen rapid urbanization in recent years.
01:38Although it is a country with a vast area, about half of its population is concentrated in the capital.
01:45That's interesting!
01:46But why is it Mongolia this time?
01:51Actually...
01:55What is it?
01:56It's cool!
01:57The Mongolia NTV broadcasting station is remaking the long-distance mathematics program there.
02:03They're actually broadcasting it.
02:08They're doing it?
02:10Up until now, they've broadcasted long-distance mathematics, which is not possible in Japan,
02:15such as children riding a horse and doing long-distance mathematics in the wilderness.
02:21When we recruited long-distance mathematics students on social media,
02:25we received almost 100 applications from all over Mongolia.
02:29There are a lot of good students, so I hope we can interview Mr. Teruto
02:34and get him to know Mongolia better.
02:40That's how the long-distance mathematics program came to be.
02:44They're doing something amazing!
02:46I want to see what's behind them!
02:48Mr. Teruto!
02:50Long-distance mathematics in Mongolia, start!
02:56It's past 4 p.m.
02:57They're waiting in a square near a school in the capital.
03:02Hello.
03:03Oh, hello!
03:06Nice to meet you!
03:08Are you a long-distance mathematics student in Mongolia?
03:12Yes, my name is Chas Chihel.
03:15I'm Teruto.
03:16I'm Ika-chan.
03:20I'll call you Ika-chan.
03:23Please call me Chasa.
03:25Chasa.
03:26Nice to meet you, Chasa-kun.
03:29Then...
03:31Yes.
03:33She's cute.
03:34She's cute.
03:35Chas Chihel is 11 years old.
03:3711 years old!
03:39She's a fifth-year student at a Mongolian elementary school,
03:42so she's a first-year middle school student.
03:45Are you nervous?
03:46Yes, I'm very nervous.
03:49Don't be nervous!
03:51Are you okay?
03:52Can we go home together?
03:55Let's go!
03:56Let's go!
03:58Let's go!
03:59Please show me the way.
04:01So, Chasa-kun is a little nervous.
04:04Where is she going to go?
04:06How far is she going to go?
04:11She's going to a dangerous long-distance mathematics school in Japan.
04:20There's more?
04:22How long is it going to take?
04:25This is not a place for people to walk.
04:28This is definitely not a bone.
04:37I got it!
04:38I got it!
04:39I got it!
04:40It's open!
04:42It's open!
04:43It's open!
04:44What?
04:45It's open!
04:48Long-distance mathematics in Mongolia.
04:52She's going to Chasa-kun's home, who is 11 years old.
04:56How far is she going to go?
05:00Do you always go home alone?
05:02There aren't many kids who are in the same direction as me,
05:05so I'm usually alone.
05:08It's amazing that you go home alone.
05:13It takes 20 minutes to walk.
05:15Is that a horse?
05:16We're going to take the bus that comes to this bus stop.
05:19There's a bus?
05:20Wow!
05:21It's a Mongolian bus.
05:23It's my first time seeing it.
05:24It must be a bus that travels a long distance.
05:26It takes 5 minutes to wait.
05:30We're going to take that bus.
05:31What?
05:34What?
05:35Let's do our best to get on.
05:37How do we get on?
05:39The bus is cool.
05:40There are a lot of people.
05:41It's true.
05:42This is hard.
05:43Can we get on?
05:44Can we get on?
05:46First, they get on the bus that travels a long distance.
05:52It's full of people.
05:55Are there always this many people?
05:57It's always a long distance.
05:59I'm used to it.
06:00It's hard.
06:01I knew it.
06:03There are a lot of adults.
06:05There aren't many kids like Chasa.
06:09Everyone goes to school nearby.
06:12Everyone goes to school nearby.
06:14There are a lot of schools near my house.
06:17But I have a dream that I want to make come true.
06:20That's why I go to school far away.
06:22She has a dream at the age of 11.
06:23What kind of dream is it?
06:24I'm still in the first year of middle school.
06:26Chasa goes to school far away to make her dream come true.
06:34How far can she go?
06:36It's a car society.
06:38Then...
06:40I can't go any further.
06:42It's amazing.
06:43The bus has been stopping for a long time.
06:46Is it always like this?
06:48Mongolia is a car society, so traffic jams are terrible.
06:54It's really crowded.
06:57In Mongolia, there are no trains and no highways.
07:03In Ulaanbaatar, traffic jams have been a social problem for many years.
07:07It's a mess.
07:09The mayor of Ulaanbaatar announced that the population is losing a month's worth of time due to traffic jams.
07:20The government is taking measures to limit the number of days you can drive by the number of license plates.
07:27The government is taking measures to limit the number of days you can drive by the number of license plates.
07:33However, the effect is small and the city is in a traffic jam every day.
07:38It's really crowded.
07:39It's dangerous.
07:40Line up properly.
07:44This is an English textbook.
07:46Can you read English?
07:48Can you read this?
07:55It's amazing.
07:57The pronunciation is good.
07:58Do you always review this on the bus back?
08:02That's right.
08:03That's great.
08:05Buses continue to stop in traffic jams.
08:12The buildings are lower than before.
08:15I feel like I'm out of the city.
08:18I'm getting off soon.
08:19That's great.
08:21How soon is it?
08:25Finally, the traffic jam is gone.
08:30Get off?
08:31Get off.
08:32Get off.
08:34What should I do if I get off?
08:37Everyone is getting off.
08:39We have arrived.
08:41It's pitch black.
08:43It's pitch black.
08:44It's pitch black.
08:45There is nothing.
08:46By the way, in the daytime, the scenery is like this.
08:53They are here now.
08:57Because it took a long time in the traffic jam,
09:00they arrived at a distance of 15 kilometers in 1 hour and 20 minutes.
09:07I'll wait for the bus again here.
09:09Do you wait for the bus?
09:11I just got off.
09:13Is that the bus?
09:17That's the bus.
09:18That's good.
09:21It's pretty fast.
09:22It's coming soon.
09:23Isn't it heavy?
09:24It's coming.
09:26They got on the second minibus today.
09:32It's hard for an adult to get on a minibus like that.
09:35It's getting better.
09:38I work part-time as a teacher.
09:42So I often hang out with elementary school students.
09:47She's nice, so I'm not nervous anymore.
09:51I'm happy.
09:52I'm happy.
09:54Then...
09:57How far are you going?
10:01It's deep in Uriastai.
10:03Uriastai?
10:05That's a great place to live.
10:09The road is dangerous there, and animals come out.
10:13It's a countryside.
10:15Are there few people?
10:18There are few people.
10:20There are few people.
10:21What kind of place does Chasa live in?
10:27I'm curious.
10:28It takes 30 minutes by bus.
10:33Is this a bus stop?
10:34Yes, it's a bus stop.
10:36It's a bus stop.
10:37Do you get off here?
10:39Yes, we do.
10:44Thank you, dad.
10:48We're here.
10:51We're here.
10:52It's been two hours.
10:53Is this the bus closest to your house?
10:55We're going to take another bus.
10:59There's more?
11:01Are you going to take another bus?
11:03That's great.
11:05It's the third time today.
11:09It's hard.
11:10And...
11:11I have to buy this.
11:13It's milk.
11:14I always finish my business here.
11:17That's great.
11:18That's great.
11:19During the waiting time of the bus,
11:22her mother finishes her business.
11:26That's great.
11:27Her mother helps her.
11:28She finishes her business and waits for the bus for 20 minutes.
11:34What about that bus?
11:36We're going to take that one.
11:38It's much more compact than the previous bus.
11:41It's changed.
11:42It's been three hours since they started preparing.
11:45They get on the third bus on this day.
11:48We're going to rent this bus.
11:51It's much more spacious than the previous bus.
11:55No one gets on that bus.
11:57There are fewer people and cars.
11:59Where is Chasa's house?
12:04Let's ask Ika-chan.
12:07This is squid ear chips.
12:09Have you ever seen squid snacks?
12:11No.
12:13I've never eaten it.
12:14I'll try it.
12:16She's eating it.
12:17She looks very curious.
12:20Mongolians don't eat squid in the first place.
12:24Will it suit her taste?
12:27It's dried beef.
12:29It's dried beef.
12:30It looks like jerky.
12:31It tastes exactly like dried beef.
12:34She noticed it.
12:38Squids taste like beef and are delicious.
12:41I found it.
12:42Really?
12:44I'm so happy.
12:45She likes it.
12:46She likes dried beef.
12:50This is the last stop.
12:52I'm glad.
12:53There's no one here.
12:54There's no light.
12:56Let's get off.
13:00We're here.
13:03There's nothing here.
13:05Is this the nearest bus from your house?
13:08Yes.
13:10But we have to walk five kilometres from here.
13:13Five kilometres?
13:15Five kilometres?
13:16Five kilometres?
13:17We have to walk five kilometres?
13:19We have to walk five kilometres from here?
13:21No way.
13:23Wait.
13:25It'll be pitch black if there's no bus.
13:28What?
13:29It's just a car.
13:31This is bad.
13:33We have to walk five kilometres from here.
13:36Can you see the road?
13:38Over there.
13:39There's no street light.
13:40Over there.
13:41Really?
13:43Shall we go home?
13:45Let's go.
13:46Let's go.
13:47It's so cute.
13:48It doesn't have a street light.
13:49It's been more than three hours since we started.
13:53Five kilometres from here.
13:56Where is Sasa's house?
14:01The road is so bumpy.
14:06It's not paved.
14:09It's so dark that I can't see anything.
14:12What's going on here?
14:14Wait.
14:15It's bright.
14:18Look at the view.
14:20It's beautiful.
14:22They're walking on this road.
14:25It's great when it's bright.
14:27How far will they go home?
14:32How much was the bus fare today?
14:35I'm 11 years old, so it's free.
14:37Really?
14:38It costs money when you're 12 years old.
14:41It's free when you're 12 years old.
14:43Was the bus free today?
14:46That's why I didn't go to the dormitory.
14:48I went to the bus from home.
14:50I see.
14:51That's great.
14:52In Mongolia,
14:54the bus fare is free for children under the age of 12
14:57for educational purposes.
15:02It's a beautiful country.
15:04It's so beautiful.
15:05It's foggy.
15:06It's foggy.
15:07It's not a road for people to walk on.
15:09It's a huge rock.
15:10You're right.
15:11You're right.
15:12How do you go home when it's so dark?
15:15There's no other way.
15:16What?
15:18Yes.
15:19There's no car in Sasa's house.
15:22There's no other way but to walk from the bus stop.
15:26You'll trip if it's dark.
15:28They have to walk for 40 minutes.
15:31It took them four hours to get home.
15:35That's a lot.
15:37Every day is amazing.
15:40Isn't it tough?
15:42Not at all.
15:43It's a dream.
15:45I wonder what it is.
15:46It's amazing.
15:47It's sharp.
15:48Be careful.
15:49It's amazing.
15:51What is it?
15:53Look.
15:54What is it?
15:55It's definitely not a bone.
15:58It's a bone of an animal.
16:00Isn't it big?
16:02There are wolves around here.
16:06There are wolves.
16:10They continue to walk for 20 minutes, being careful of the wolves.
16:15It's full of bones.
16:18It suddenly turned into a tree.
16:22It's a forest.
16:23It's a forest.
16:24It's a forest.
16:25There was no tree before.
16:28We're almost there.
16:29Are you okay?
16:30We can make it.
16:31We're almost there.
16:32There are wolves.
16:34It's dangerous.
16:35I'm scared.
16:36What?
16:37There are no people.
16:38I'm scared.
16:43Everyone, thank you for coming all the way here.
16:46I can't see anything.
16:49Hello.
16:50Good evening.
16:52She came to pick us up.
16:54Castle Moon?
16:56Welcome.
16:57I'll show you the way.
17:00Welcome home.
17:02I'm glad.
17:03She was outside the house.
17:05She saw the light and came to pick her up.
17:07She met her mother.
17:11I can see that she loves her mother.
17:16She walked for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
17:21Finally.
17:22We're home.
17:25This is amazing.
17:26It's a traditional house.
17:29We're finally home.
17:32It's 9.15 pm.
17:34They finally arrive at home.
17:36This is amazing.
17:38They took three buses from the school bus stop.
17:43They walked for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
17:48They walked for four and a half hours.
17:50It's a long distance.
17:55It's amazing.
17:56It's hard work.
17:57This happens every day.
18:00By the way, this is Chasa's house at dawn.
18:04It's amazing.
18:08It's a natural place surrounded by the vast Mongolian land and snowy mountains.
18:14It's amazing.
18:15It happens every day.
18:18What's inside the house?
18:22Excuse me.
18:23It's warm.
18:24There's electricity and water.
18:27It's amazing.
18:28It's cute.
18:31It's warm.
18:34Chasa lives in a Mongolian traditional house, Gel, with her father and mother.
18:42When Chasa comes home, she always does this.
18:47We don't have a tap at home, so we collect water every day.
18:52She's amazing.
18:53She collects water from spring water.
18:56She talks to people and collects water.
18:58She also collects firewood because she doesn't have gas.
19:02It's hard work.
19:05She also helps with cooking.
19:11Chasa, what kind of meat is this?
19:14It's horse meat.
19:15Horse meat?
19:17I got it from a friend who lives in Gobi Desert.
19:22She always comes home late.
19:25But she helps me like this.
19:27She's really helpful.
19:30It's amazing.
19:32It's a Mongolian traditional stew that is simply seasoned with salt.
19:41It's small and clean.
19:43It's amazing.
19:45He eats it directly.
19:47It's delicious.
19:52I'll cut some for you.
19:54What is this?
19:55It's the internal organs of a horse.
19:57Internal organs?
19:59It's the internal organs.
20:10Which one is it?
20:11Which one is it?
20:14Does it smell?
20:15It smells, doesn't it?
20:17It smells a lot.
20:18It tastes like a horse.
20:20It tastes like a horse.
20:21It has a good texture.
20:23It's chewy.
20:25She's eating it from the inside.
20:27It's the internal organs.
20:32She's laughing a lot.
20:34Now she can become a horse and run back to Japan.
20:39She doesn't need a plane.
20:41Chasa's father and Chasa became close.
20:45We studied at a long-distance school together for a long time.
20:50Didn't you hate to go to school together?
20:53To be honest, I hated it.
20:55You were worried, weren't you?
20:57So I was going to quit school as soon as she was in pain.
21:02I see.
21:03But I went to school every day because it was fun.
21:06Going to school is the shortcut to dreams.
21:10I want them to see their dreams come true as soon as possible.
21:15Actually, my husband had a car accident four years ago.
21:19That's why I went to school at a long distance.
21:26Chasa grew up with a lot of love from her parents.
21:34However, her father was hospitalized due to a car accident.
21:39That's why she wanted to make her parents' dreams come true as soon as possible.
21:49Just wait and see. You'll be a great adult.
21:52I'm looking forward to it.
21:54I wonder what it is to have so many dreams.
22:00I'm really curious.
22:02What kind of school does she go to to make her dreams come true?
22:10It's morning now.
22:14It's a night view.
22:16Good morning.
22:18Good morning.
22:20Please come in.
22:23As soon as she enters the house,
22:27Chasa is still sleeping.
22:30She always sleeps until just before leaving the house.
22:40It's morning. Wake up.
22:42Wake up.
22:44She changes her clothes quickly.
22:46Good morning, Chasa.
22:48Good morning.
22:49Chasa gets ready quickly.
22:52She changes her clothes.
22:54She brushes her teeth.
22:57She drinks milk tea in the morning.
23:00She leaves the house in just 10 minutes after she wakes up.
23:04She's leaving.
23:06Really?
23:07That's fast.
23:08She's amazing.
23:12She walks for 1 hour and 20 minutes to the nearest bus stop.
23:20She takes a bus full of people and heads to school.
23:24She's amazing.
23:26In the morning, of course...
23:28There's a traffic jam in the morning.
23:30Mongols always have a traffic jam.
23:33There's always a traffic jam in the morning and at night.
23:37It's been four and a half hours since she left the house.
23:44We're finally here.
23:47She arrives at the bus stop near the school.
23:51It takes 10 minutes to walk from there.
23:57This is my school.
