Boating with the Chinese students

It's hard to tell if these boys had or had not ever been on a boat before. They spoke English fairly well but sometimes we just didn't push the issue when it seemed they weren't understanding what we were asking. This was one of those times. I am pretty sure they have never tubed before, though.
Here is Jack and David. Nelson went pretty easy with them on the tube. I was worried about injuries being halfway around the world from mom and dad and all. Besides, they would be out for a couple of minutes and yell to come in because their arms were dying and they needed a break.
Here is David and Mike. Mike was a bit more worried about things in general while here and this was no exception. He did willingly participate and that was without exception also. Mike was always willing to try anything new which was just about everything while Jack seemed like he really didn't want to experience things, happy to just watch Mike eat whatever we served or anything else we suggested.
Jack was much more daring and playful, though.
Could someone explain the whole peace-sign-is-mandatory-for-every-picture thing? Our Japanese students were the same. I really would like an explanation.
Mike and Jack together.
