...she comes towards the elderly man wearing sunglasses, jeans, and a grey sweatshirt. They're hands are open, some "How are you doing?"'s are exchanged, and they give each other a quick peck on the mouth. I'll never completely understand this American culture of quick pecks. I suppose every country has its own way... like the french bisou-bisou, or the italian's similar thing, of cheek-to-cheek... Anyways, the kiss just looks really disgusting b/c this woman look like she is in her 50s, with big, obviously colored, hair, tight jeans, and blood-red lips.

He's doing all these tricks, such as spinning around on his toes, dancing backwards and forwards... typical moves that the Park skaters perform... Another guy is near him on skates, younger guy. He's wearing sporty clothing and has a back-pack, so I get the impression that he is a good skater. No, not really.
