It was after 4 AM at a 24 hour open McDonald's restaurant in Downtown, I was eating a hamburger alone. It is very rare for me to visit this restaurant because I don't like McDonald's. I don't like its taste, smell and atmosphere. It is both unhealthy and cheesy. However, I had been staying up overnight in my room and longed for a hamburger without any reason. As far as I knew, it was the only place I could get a hamburger in that early morning. While I was eating a hamburger in the restaurant, I felt myself to be out of place. The restaurant was full of bums and young poor travelers who were all sleeping in the sofa escaping from the cold rain outside. There were dozens of such guys and only one little woman was working as a sales person. When I almost finished my early breakfast, she suddenly shouted something tapping around the table with a plastic tray so that all the sleepers wake up and get out of the restaurant. Some of the guys were complaining and an old bum was staying on his seat for a while, but she was the last winner of the fight and I became the only customer in the restaurant. Though I had a proper right to stay there for a while, I got out as soon as I finished my breakfast. It was my first visit to McDonald's this year and it will also be the last visit in 2007 or in my life.
