Capsule hotels … Trash beds … Does this sound like a fantasy or dystopian movie? Not at all! These are the realities that await the participants and guests of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics! Let's find out what fun awaits all fans of big-time sports this summer!
1. Tourists during the Olympics will be accommodated in capsule hotels
Tokyo is a crowded city. Therefore, the first problem that faced the Japanese government was where to accommodate the millions of tourists who would come to watch the Olympics? And the issue was resolved in a completely customary way for Japan specifically: a bunch of multi-storey capsule hotels are being built. How your sleepover will look like is easy to see in the photo. So the fantastic scene from Luc Besson's film "The Fifth Element" of the late 20th century has become an absolute reality.
2. Athletes will sleep on garbage beds
The athletes' beds in the future Olympic Village are made from recycled waste and cardboard. Takeshi Kitajima, general director of the project to create the Olympic Village in Tokyo in 2020, made an official press release in which he said (and showed!) That about 20,000 orthopedic beds for athletes have already been made and are awaiting operation. The bases are made of cardboard, everything else is made from environmentally friendly recycled materials (old waste). "These beds can support over 150 kilograms and are much stronger than wooden beds," boasted Takeshi Kitajima. After the Olympics, the beds will be disassembled and reworked to create new ultra-useful items.
3. Will come out cola with zero calories
It sounds like a joke, but … Japan has created a clear cola-flavored drink that has zero calories! The secret and the development are kept in the strictest confidence. The Japanese believe that the product will appeal to guests all over the world, and then they will launch it worldwide. If this happens, Japan's economy will rise many points in the world rankings.
4. Guests with disabilities will be served by specially trained robots
It sounds incredible, but specially trained robots will help people with disabilities, namely wheelchair users, during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. The robots take these spectators to their seats in the stadiums, with their help, disabled people will be able to order food or call for help in two clicks.
5. Power wires will go underground
For the Olympics, Japan nevertheless decided to get rid of the pole power lines, placing them underground. It will cost the country a lot of money, but a social advertising campaign that took advantage of the country's pride - Fujiyama - blocked by power lines, did its job.
