• Hey, you're being transferred to the Osaka branch?
• Well, it's the company's order, so I have to go.
• That's too bad, you've just gotten used to life here after you moved to Tokyo from Kyushu, haven't you?
• Yeah, you're right.
• But, the Osaka branch sounds great depending on how you feel about it... .The food is good and the entertainment is great! That famous amusement park is there, too!
• I'm not going to Osaka just to eat ‘‘Tako-yaki’’ or ‘‘Okonomi-yaki’’. I prefer ‘‘Monja-yaki’’ and we can see a two-man comedy show anytime if we turn on the TV! Who wants to go to that amusement park every week anyway?
• Uhmm... sounds like you don't want to go to, do you? By the way, I know there are a lot of sex shops that you might like.
• I don't like those kinds of shops!
• Really?
• So, I lied, I don't dislike them. But, it's true that I don't want to go to Osaka. According to my boss, unless you can speak ‘‘Kansai dialect’’ sales people aren't accepted in the market. I should start learning ‘‘Kansai dialect’’ first. But just thinking about it gives me a headache.
