Now that we help with the church youth group we can start to see some of the ways in which they differ from their UK variety. Here are some of the notable differences:
- They are far more likely to wear school related clothing (e.g. with the name of their school team on a sweatshirt for example) - I think close to 80% of the time they have some school related clothing on.
- They are extremely compressible - here is a picture from Saturday night when we had 17 people for a sleep over and 10 girls slept in our cinema room overnight (you can imagine how much they appreciated Dan waking them up at 7:30).
They tend to be more sporty and the boys and girls spontaneously play team games together, such as ultimate frisbee, dodgeball etc.. (rather than the boys going off to play football and the girls chatting, which was our UK experience)- They do far more organised events - they do seem to be committed most nights of the week to something.
- They speak with a funny accent
