Hi, my name is Ryan. I love eating in the food court. I am working as a lawyer
in Jakarta so, I work from Monday to Friday. I don’t have a lot of time to eat lunch so I
usually go to the mall next to my office. The food court has a lot of choices. I can eat
something different every day.
Something happened in the food court. So, I am eating spaghetti while my
friend John is waiting in line to order his food. An old lady cut the queue in front of
him. He didn’t know what to do and just looked at me. I can not do anything because
I am still eating my food. He was arguing with the old lady for 5 minutes and in the
end, she won. He had to wait another 10 minutes to order his food.
