There are definitely positives to being on the lower end of this age bias. I’ve only once paid for lunch at work (and that was when I went out with my young, hipster coworker), because I’m the youngest person in the company. When a seat opens up during rush hour on the Seoul Metro, the older men in suits stand by, and I only have to fight with the other young women in the car for it. When I go out with my Korean friends, the older ones take the lead and organize things...
...many discotecas have just barely gotten started by 4a.m. On the weekends, it’s not uncommon to see partygoers stumbling home in the previous day’s clothes at 7 or even 8 in the morning.

Pompeii's frescoes have just been unveiled after...
...embarrassing and extremely inconvenient. When I want to visit my grandfather, who lives in a nursing facility two miles from my house, I have to jog there after sundown because it's too hot to wait for a bus during the day. My mother regularly drops me off at lunch with my friends; she's even offered to drive me to bars before. At the end of a night out, my pals jokingly yell "Not it!" when it comes time to decide who drives me home. Once, a kind girlfriend drove me to the other side of the county...
