While I agree that it is not a tradition here, I don't think that the whole idea could be that difficult to grasp for me, or many of my friends.

I was older brother and even as a pre-teenager I did look for my brother (and for no money :)) ). You know, kind of responsible child.

While the generalized picture about non-trusty BG teenagers might be true, I don't love and believe in generalisations.

This post somehow reminded me about your earlier post, where you ask your students: where to take your foreigner guest, and they all (or most of them) suggested the mall as a place to go. I felt kind of sorry for those new generations.
