Ray and I were hanging around a shopping mall yesterday.
Since my work is desk work and it's easy to spend a time whole day at a computer, I needed some exercise for my health.
On the way to the shopping mall, we stopped at Wendy's for our lunch.
Even though I know fast foods are not good for health, I sometimes love to eat those foods.
Unlike Japan, we can see all the ages people at this fast foods store.
In Japan, only young people are loving to eat junk foods and senior people are not liking oily foods and meats.
I remember that when first Mac Donald chain store was opened in Tokyo, I was about 12 years old.
It was very interesting to see those foods in CM on TV. Especially , French fry !
My parents said it's kind of like a snack , and not real meals.
My parents had never eaten those foods. They loved only traditional Japanese foods.
I'm already getting used to seeing American foods , but I still remember that American Hamburgers are bigger than Japanese one.
I ordered #6, Spicy chicken burger, and Ray ordered #1 normal hamburger with cheese.
There were also some sweets in menu, and looked delicious.
But since I knew most of American sweets are incredibly sweet ( too much sugar ) and I rarely satisfied with the taste, so I didn't order it.
I usually order water with lemon for my drink. and at home, I always put some red pepper in it. That's my favorite drink, also it's great for my health.
Ray also ordered same drink as me. Unfortunately, there are no menu for ice coffee. It's weird, even during summer time, they are still not adding ice coffee.
They have only soda, such as coke, sprite etc.. and juice, water, ice tea. hot tea and only for hot coffee.
Ice coffee is very popular in Japan, China and Korean, I don't know about other countries, but since when I was 17 or earlier, ice coffee was already popular drink during summer time.
Spicy chicken burger is my favorite menu in Wendy's. Yes, it's really high calories , and soon I get hungry.
That may be one of the reason, why junk foods are also called fat foods.
For French fry, I love to sprinkle salt and pepper over them.
Ray loves cheese so much, so he always add cheese in many meals ( except when we eat Asian foods ).
After we fulfilled our stomach at Wendy's, we drove to a shopping mall. It's a small shopping mall and is not the biggest one in Tucson.
In Tucson, palm trees are everywhere, and many other trees and plants are artistic and are different from other States.
Parking lots in the US are usually huge , and we have a lot of space to park our car.
There is a book store " Barnes & Noble Booksellers " in the building of the shopping mall.
and we went through the book store to get to the mall. I always love to spend a time in the book store.
In weekdays, there are not much people hanging around the shopping mall.
This shopping mall is not so big, and we don't usually shop here , but it's good to refresh our feeling to hang around here for a while.
After we hang around there, we were getting thirsty and we drove to star bucks coffee.
I've heard that Star bucks coffee era is going to close 600 branch store in the U.S.A. in news.
Economy here seems like not going well.
I thought Star Bucks is quite successful and it won't be influenced from that.
The Price is affordable, taste is so good.
Hope it won't be closed much. I love star bucks coffee.
