Lo Estallar

Most everyone I meet here knows the same handshake (which is actually awesome). It’s simple, but effective: you begin with a side high-five, pull back, and finish it off with a fist pound. While already a modern marvel, I’ve decided to combine our two cultures by introducing the “blow up” (as it’s known on the streets) to the kids here (for those of you not familiar, this act involves opening your hand with an explosive motion following a fist pound (as if the collision of fits created some sort of unstable reaction)). So far, I’ve only had the opportunity to follow the effect of this addition in a single child, but the success of this subject (Subject X or Sylar) is promising for the spread of this phenomenon.
