Lions and tigers and bears... OH MY!

Well, not really lions and tigers. Just bears. And it was only really one bear but it's still "OH MY!". An announcement came over the tannoy at school this morning saying that a bear had been spotted hanging around the train staion at Nozawaonsen (10 minutes from here) scaring all the students on their way to school. The notice that followed immediately afterwards translated as "be careful and do your best". Thanks Japan!
