I spent almost the entire 2 days to guide some kids around Tokyo as a volunteer. And now my feet are totally worn out, my body is falling apart. I don't think i've ever walked so much before,and that's why i skipped my french class and came back earlier just for the irresistible urge of laying down in bed.
I realize i finally can call those teenagers "kids" without any hesitate,a little bit sad tho,coz it will never be that intense for feelings of age-difference until u r really with someone. The average age of the kids i guided is about 18 years old, but they r already incredibly mature,en,in atittude. I understand their feelings, high self recognition in the way they treat themselves---as alduts and desperately try to proove and persuade the others to believe so too.
I took 3 korean-original girls walking all around the streets in Omotesando for the whole Monday morning, just because they were so eager to find a brand store named "BAPE","A bating Ape" for full, And then they made an almost 500 bucks purchase there only in 30 minutes, for one jeans and one jacket."It's the famous brand in America, every young generation is crazy for that, however, there are only fakes in America." they explained it to me, with their eyes sparkling under the heavy make up.
I was impressed by that. Can't help reminding what i looked like when i was 18 years old. Ignoring the money and purchase thing, did I ever hehave like that during that age?Of course not, but probably some kind of similiar. I finally see some thing really encouraging for being a grown up----the fact sometimes made me sad for getting old tho,but the thing is,we r really wiser than them,or let us put it this way, we know life better than them----those, kids.
