As we gathered next to the Eiffel Tower, we had some free time. One 'boy' from Portugal had taken an old photo album with him and we started to look at old photos taken from the time when we participated in Erasmus+ project.
„Everyone has changed so much!“ said Merilin. It was true – the last time we met was 35 years ago. Everyone was dressed in a fashionable way now and everyone owned very modern technology (phones, etc.) Our clothes were made using recycled materials. Only Darragh hadn’t changed his environmental views, he wore expensive and exclusive suits, as he was a famous actor now. Marta, the blond girl from Estonia, had dyed her hair pink. She used to wear normal clothes but now she was dressed all in pink. The Irish teacher was here, too. He was still very sprightly and still sporty, although in his 80s. Kati came with her grandchild, who was super adorable. Kati was married to Tiarnan. They lived in Germany, so that they would have equal distance to their homelands Ireland and Estonia.
But we all noticed that when we were young there were a lot of elderly people with grey hair and wrinkles, but nowadays no one could tell the difference between young and elderly people. Today 80-year-olds look like 40-year-oldw without any wrinkles. For example Grace from Ireland was still very skinny and well groomed. You wouldn’t be able to say that she was over 50 now. The reason was that the air was much cleaner and the technology had developed, so people could easily take procedures to improve their appearance.
But then again, the years had gone by, we all have changed and got older, but some things never change – our friendship. We felt that special connection as we all were together under the Eiffel Tower. We felt happiness and wouldn't like to be apart again. We had so much to talk about.
As we were sharing our emotions and talking about our lives we suddenly remembered that we had a problem to solve...
