So today I ate lunch with some Asian friends who took me to their "fast food" restaurant in town. I'm not sure why they wanted to go here. I was reflecting on fast food in general and why we in America will eat fast food. Usually, the cheap price and quick service are what draws us to these places. I guess the food can draw you too, depending on your preference. But here, every place is cheap and quick. At any given restaurant, a meal is around $1-2 and you order as soon as you sit down and begin to get your dishes about 5 minutes after you order. So anyways, this place we went to was just like an Asian Mcdonald's. People everywhere, kids screaming and getting yelled at by their parents, long lines of people order their food and taking it to their tables on trays. There were no seats anywhere, so people just put their trays on other peoples tables and just stare at them while they finish eating. And there is nothing wrong with this scene to anyone. No one minds if they are stared at while eating. I just chuckled to myself as we hovered over this table of people eating their lunch. Oh and my friend ordered a lime and plum tea for me. It was beyond nasty. It was narsty. So was the rest of the food on my plate. After this experience, I'm certain that fast food should be eliminated from every culture.
