As in our own college, we have to pay about 45,000 each semester. That sounds costly

A bad day, a bad meal



I went to down town with friend for eating dinner. As we entered the restaurant, we felt soft and the atmosphere here was perfect. But after we ordered the meal and we almost waited for about twenty minutes. Well, there were still many customers. After the meal was come, we ate the French fries first and it really tasted well but too salty. And then we ate another cheese hamburger, we found that it was too salty with a little odd taste. Finally, we didn’t eat them off and went out that store right away. So expensive, salty and hard to eat them off, but why are many foreigners enjoy eating them?

Perhaps it is too far to think about this issue.
