DREAMS DO COME TRUE!After finishing a great dinner at Ajisen, my friends said they were going to go to Tom’s World, an arcade chain here in China, and I decided to come along. I got eighteen tokens because I had wanted this alpaca from the claw machine for a long time now. I watched a man with a VIP card and a bag of tokens try as well, but he couldn’t get it as hardcore as he was. Other teens tried as well. After spending all eighteen tokens and losing, I walked around with my friends to another area.We found a token machine, and we were so taken by how easy we could insert our money and get tokens, we decided to get even more tokens! I got twenty more and went back for that alpaca with my friends in tow.I tried three more times and lost. But on the fourth time, something INCREDIBLE happened. The claw actually held on to the alpaca–IT HELD ON TO IT. My friends and I stared at it, and it all happened in slow motion. We expected it to fall at any second, but it moved the alpaca up, raised it in the air— at this point we were SCREAMING! We couldn’t believe it, I couldn’t believe it, what a moment that was!Everyone turned around to look at us jump for joy and me feel like a champion. But my alpaca was stuck in the hole it was supposed to go through, and I kind of panicked. We banged on the machine hoping it would go through, but finding that useless (as that usually is) I guarded the machine with my body while a friend went to find a worker to open it up. It was finally opened and here’s the first picture of me basking in a hero’s glory and my new adorable alpaca! -- source link
