The Continental Art Of Dining

After the ring fist punching article I decided to pay a little more attention to the cultural happenings of my world.

So we now can broach the topic of dining. Yes eating, we all do it and most of us enjoy it, asides of the fact this is important for our species survival.
While people watching we analysed who ate with whom. The observation is that women go out most of the time with one friend or a male friend. Men only go out for dinner outside of work related events in groups of four plus. Hello man, since when could we just not go out for dinner with a friend? I don’t want to go out in a group, that’s just a waste of time.

Needless to say when in the continent two men at a dinner table is normal. Friends eat together, we don’t just go to the beverage houses to get drunk. There are so many things to talk about in life. Why waste life talking shit drunk when you can do it sober?

Another digression in coffee shops the percentage of people reading is virtually zero these days, its all about ipad, ipod, laptops… why go there with a friend to sit looking at your respective iPhone texting each other? If you look up you could talk to each other in real life….

But anyways, why does everyone look miserable? Answer my question and I will buy you a whole box of chocolates.

  1. Like you said Lemon Tree Man, its all about ipads, kindles, ipods and laptops these days..the art of conversation between friends disappearing could become very real! :(..Hmm...Perhaps that would be the best time for your self help books (eg: "How to Strike a Conversation with My Real Friend(s)" or "The Art of Decent Conversation") to make their timely appearance? and they would be life saver books! ;)

    And in my opinion, dinner between 2 male friends are perfectly fine (*ahem*..so long as there's nothing "queer" going on)..so eat, drink (moderately of course, so as to remain sober), talk and be merry!!! Yay!

    And an attempt to answer your question - the reason why everyone looks miserable because they can't write as well and are not as witty as LTM? ;).. And can I request that the box of chocolates be from Royce please? :P
