I can say that when I was working I have to dine nearly four in the afternoon as I was working from 8 a.m to 3 p.m., and ofcourse that was the principal meal along the day. I use to get up about 6,30 a.m., take nothing to breaksfast until 10,30 a.m. that used to have some cofee or tea with toast, and nothing more until 3,30 p.m. or 4 p.m., which was to much time without food inside, and of course diner was nothing but fast. I takes a lot of time as we wanted to rest also, talking together and sometimes going to nap after diner. But supper is another question here as we use to have it very late, later that all over the world as it is frecuent to see people having supper at 11 p.m. or 12 a.m. sitting at the restaurant's tables or at home watching tv., and which it is worst ...going to bed very, very late. At the spanish's costs you may see inmediately who is from out of the country and who is spaniard just for the hour they have their meals. 12 a.m. foreigner (german, french, english, north american, and so on) 2,30 p.m. or 3 p.m.....spaniard. But it is so funny to see people at the restaurant's tables at 7 p.m. and hour that we are at the beach or going to a walk, or just getting up from the bed after a long nap. Despite we are seeing these odd hours to have meals for so many years, we never have in mind to change our habits of having our meals late, talking and seing everything around us, and doing just the contrary that all other visitors, who I think have more healthy habits, but also more boring. Spaniard's old people don't like fast food at all. We take our time for each meal and we do them at quite different hours from rest of the world. In the south or in summer we live outside and we do not find time just to go to bed at convenient hours in order to work propperly next day.

Koreans usually eat rice with traditional soup. I think that's really good for our health. I recommend to eat kind of Sushi than fast food, if you don't have much time to eat.

We are trying to express our thoughts and feelings in English. Some of you have very good English - my congratulations! And you are very friendly to the others. I don't think that fast food might be the matter of argue. If you like it - enjoy it! If you don't like it - you are free to choose something else. I for one cannot remember the last time when I tried hamburger or cheeseburger, But we have a Chinese restaurant near our office and I am used to have lunch there. It is a little tricky to use these sticks instead of a fork and knife! But let us remember that we eat to live, not live to eat. There are many different countries in the world and every country or nation has its own traditions and preferences in food. Hi guys,

How do you explain "plug in to"? Is it the same as "plug into"? Looking forward to hearing from all of you soon. Thanks. Best regards, Ariel from Taiwan Dear All,

Could you kindly tell me what “Plug in to the language of business!” means? How do you explain “plug in to”? Is it the same as “plug into”?

Once I had to wait 45 minutes to get my Cochinita Pibil. That's a lot of time, specially when you are hungry!

I think that fast food service doesn't necessarily imply fast food eating. I enjoy italian and mediterranean diet and practice it, (few meats, many vegetables, fruit, fish) but sometimes I love to eat at MacDonalds. Taking a well-balanced meal and enjoying it slowly is up to me. Hi I am from Italy, perhaps the mother country of good eating and mediterranean diet.
