Turning 25-year-old me into an B0-year-old was no easy task; with
the help of a make-up artist, I had to be covered with layers of
prosthetic make-up. After putting on a shabby coat and holding
tightly onto a walking stick, my transformation was complete - and 1
very convincing! Then it was time to set out to'see how the world 2
would react. 3
Making sur'e that my voice sounded old and weak, I immediately tried 4
to make small talk on the bus with the young woman sitting next t0 5
me. She stared straight ahead. She might not have heard, I thought. I o
tried again, but it was quite clear that the woman didn't want to talk
to a chatty senior citizen. Then it was time for some shopping. At my
favourite make-up counter, where the assistant usually laughs and
p jokes with me, she looked as if she couldn't wait t0 get rid 0f me'
Later, in a music shop, my request for some CDs was met with 1
