#Vancouver is a wonderful place to visit, with a good vibe and many green spaces & parks. But I was not prepared for “Speak to the bear clearly & calmly“.
www.nps.gov advises: “Identify yourself by talking calmly so the bear knows you are a human and not a prey animal. Remain still; stand your ground but slowly wave your arms. Help the bear recognize you as a human“.. “Continue to talk to the bear in low tones; this will help you stay calmer, and it won’t be threatening to the bear“.
After 7 days networking at #INTA2025 in San Diego, I am ready to use my my International Trademark Association (INTA) skills. “I’m Pete from the Netherlands” and “Do you have kids?” are good to start 😉. What would you say?
