Julius is a 15year-old Kenyan,with his feet in his country and his eyes on the West.He wears jeans and a baseball cap to school.He loves watching American films on TV.His elder brothers hang out (闲逛)after work in places like the Hard Rock Cafe.Julius's brother Paul says,‘The music is cool,it's not too expensive and it's the place where I can meet all my friends.'

Julius is worried about his future.‘I don't know what I will do when I leave school.There are very few jobs for young people.'He would like to work with computers on the Internet,maybe start up an Internet cafe.However,there are several problems with this.The computers are very expensive.Next the electricity supply does not run all day every day.Finally,the telephone connections are not very good,and sometimes Net signals are lost.
