People sure are interesting. At the restaurant where I eat my usual gyutan, I found myself enjoying some beefsteak. It was touted as their "new product," and me--well, I'm weak when it comes to new things. I took a spot in a corner at a table for two (though I was eating alone) and by about 9 PM, the room was full. In front of me sat two office-lady-esque women, and to my side two businessmen-esque men. Diagonal across was a couple deep in conversation when they'd obviously finished eating.
Now, let me say this first: I wasn't eavesdropping f^_^;
Anyways, the two women in front were laughing a lot, with their talk focusing on love and romance (umm...I can HEAR you, you know...) The men to my side were conversing about work. When asked how the talks were going, the one who looked like the higher-up said, "Needs to be hotter." The couple diagonal from me were both crying. I could imagine why, but do you really need to have THAT kind of conversation here?
People, in the same place at the same time. Even though they're sharing the same space, and even though there's nothing really separating them, just by the distance between their tables, they're all in their own worlds, indifferent. It's both strange and amazing.
Then there's me, the observant eating-by-himself-kun. I whispered to myself, "People sure are interesting..." then stood up, left my table, and went home.
