[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was taken at the same beach as I posted before. I noticed a youngster,11-13 I'd guess, snorkling around this group of girls and when he didn't go away, I had a little chuckle, grabbed the camera, and snapped him in action. I think we all know what he was doin.

It's also interesting to note that in Japan, even the youngest girls wear a trendy (and sometimes quite revealing) bikini, while in Korea you don't see it nearly as often or to such a degree, and in The Philippines rarely to never amongst the locals.

I think it is a direct effect of being colonized and subjugated to western lifestyles through the media that has done it. I, personally, prefer the tradiontally conservative Japanese woman myself.

Remember....wherever you are...someone may be watching!

Witam,

Nice and funny, Damon
I'd take it as a pre-teen behavior for the boy.
For the bikini issue, I thought that it's their feeling of crossing the line from kids to real teenage.
Anyway, I love very the very innocent and natural mood in your picture.
Thank you for sharing,

Aaah, Japanese girls. The're sexy. Looks like they were having fun.
