I hear it's quite an experience."} {'role': 'SYS', 'utterance': 'Yes, and what an experience.'} {'role': 'USR', 'utterance': 'What do you mean?'} {'role': 'SYS', 'utterance': "Well, it's nothing like visiting a swimming pool in the States."} {'role': 'USR', 'utterance': 'Well, what do you do when you go to a public bath?'} {'role': 'SYS', 'utterance': 'First, you take off your shoes before you enter.'} {'role': 'USR', 'utterance': 'Okay.'} {'role': 'SYS', 'utterance': "Then, you pay an entrance fee to the man or woman at the front counter. [Um-huh]. Next, you get undressed in the dressing room. And I was very surprised ... and a little embarrassed to see that the woman who took my money was sitting on a platform where she had a clear view of the men's side of the dressing room. [Really?] This allows the workers to keep an eye on the patrons' belongings while they are in the bath."} {'role': 'USR', 'utterance': 'Wow. And do you wear a bathing suit or something?'} {'role': 'SYS', 'utterance': "Oh no! You don't wear anything. Then you go into the main bathing area and wash your body while sitting on a small stool about 40 centimeters high."} {'role': 'USR', 'utterance': 'On a stool!?'} {'role': 'SYS', 'utterance': "Yeah. It was really hard getting used to bathing in that position. Sometimes, even, people wash each other's backs."} {'role': 'USR', 'utterance': 'Oh really. So, what do you do after that?'}]
{'role': 'SYS', 'utterance': "Well, after you've rinsed off all the soap, they usually have two or three large baths where you can soak for a while."}

It felt like the science wasn't getting understood by the politicians, so I decided to look into what I personally could do, that led me to dream up a cartoon character called Mr. Carbon. We all know somebody like him, he's climate ignorant and makes no effort to save energy. Of course, factories are the obvious bad character in the real world, but I couldn't do much about them."} {'role': 'USR', 'utterance': 'So, are we going to see him in scenes like we get in disaster movies?'} {'role': 'SYS', 'utterance': "That's pretty unlikely, it's hard to make a box office success. But he certainly gives cause for concern. People are becoming more aware of the climate change."} {'role': 'USR', 'utterance': 'So you came up with the idea of another cartoon character, Mrs. Green.'}]

Then maybe we can do the floor first. These wood floors under this carpet are beautiful. And me too--I can't wait to get all this old carpet out of here. But how can we get it out?

The real controversy surrounding the amount of petroleum we have is how much we need to keep in reserve for future use. Most experts agree that by around 2025, the amount of petroleum we use will reach a peak. Then production and availability will begin to seriously decline. This is not to say there will be no petroleum at this point. But it'll become very difficult and therefore expensive to extract."} {'role': 'USR', 'utterance': 'Is that the most important reason to develop alternative fuel and energy sources?'}]
{'role': 'SYS', 'utterance': 'There are two very clear reasons to do so. One is that whether we have 60 or 600 years of fossil fuels left, we have to find other fuel sources eventually. So the sooner we start, the better off we will be. The other big argument is that when we use fossil fuels for a long time, which leads to some long-term negative effects, like global warming and the greenhouse effect, there could be extinctions of many creatures, such as polarbears.
