In the cafeteria

I love the French. Eating is not just about filling their stomachs. Meetings are scheduled so as to not interupt lunchtime. Time is taken... an hour... or more.... and deciding what to put on your lunchtime tray raises so many conflicts of choice... that often, the choice itself can take quite a while...

My favourite part of the hour / hour and a half long lunch episode, is the way everyone gathers at the end of cafeteria, around little cafe tables, and drink coffee...   As if they're meeting with the best of friends.
The lunch-hall is loud with laughter, and chatter, and if you didnt know better... one wouldnt think this was a place of work.
