Let me guess. They wanted you to follow in their footsteps, right?

[That seems to be a common trend. Overbearing parents shoving their expectations and regrets on their kids... He may or may not have experience with this.]

There's definitely a lot of freedom here. For some reason, the locals let their kids go at such a young age, so I guess the expectations aren't so strict. Honestly, I'm amazed this place is as stable as it is with so many ten year olds running around, but I guess there's a nice kind of innocence about it.
