Kumquat or Banana?

I read somewhere that some Filipinos have this funny habit of going all the way to France to travel, only to eat at McDonald's to cut down on the expenses. But I do know that if I were to go to France, I would buy fresh croissants for my breakfast from the boulangerie, take my lunch of quiche or a salad from the delicatessen (or is this Italian? Oh well...), and have coq au vin in a local cafe or pub.

The idea is to savor the experience while you could, because you'll never know when you'd get to eat in France again. Unless of course you really have the money to go back any time.

For a while, one can forget about McDo. After all, it's just there around the corner, open any time, offering and serving the same old stuff you order.The same thing with fruits: given the choice between the kumquat or a banana, wouldn't you go for the exotic fruit whose name you can't even begin to spell? I think any one would be intrigued enough to do so.

The banana isn't about to go anywhere. Whatever happens, whether the kumquat turns out to be mean-tasting or not, the banana would still be at every stall, sitting and waiting for the next buyer.

So why miss out on the kumquat now, when you could get your hands on a banana any time, right?

ako din, when i went to vigan, i had my lunch in Mcdo. Kasi at that time i was all alone, didn't know anyone and didn't know where to eat and the sun was scorching hot so i just decided to eat sa mcdo. hehehe... pero xempre, next meals ko, i ate na sa restos dun. but i wasn't able to try their famous empanada and the vigan longganisa... sadness...
