A: Hey there! Heard anything interesting lately?
B: Not much, what's up?

A: So, you know Naruko Gorge, right? The autumn leaves spot in Osaki City?
B: Yeah, I've been there! It's beautiful.

A: Well, they've been seeing bears around there lately, so they put up multilingual signs to warn people.
B: Whoa, really? That sounds dangerous!

A: Yep, and now they have signs in Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean!
B: Wow, that's thoughtful of them. I wonder if it'll scare the bears away too.
