Too much to ask you to guess the degree "bonding" among the kids. The unspoken purpose of the trip may have been bonding with each other - the CC being the enticement. Given that "Western manners" can be learned on line, the connotation was possibly disguised as denotation - with CC limits.
On our side: We were sitting outside at a "buvette" - a drink and eating spot next to a cow/horse/chicken barn high up in the Swiss mountains. The other couples (well past retirement age) were all locals - judging from their accents. The first round of conversation between them was where to get the best bargains.
I also noted that the ladies all had shaved legs. Trending trends.
This was ttally new to me - all aspects of it - and certainly not least - the money these children
have to spend - and seem quite used to spending! Thank you! hugs - Rolf
You. are certainly a fearless journalist daring to face a mob of preteen Chinese kids doing Europe…. Thank you for another fascinating article!
Fascinating, as usual. Thank you Pallavi.
