McDonalds: the new libraries


This poster has been spotted in a few McDonalds around Singapore "Dear Students: please refrain from studying in our restaurant during the following peak hours: ..."
Quite right, it is difficult to find a table at McDonalds these days. In my days (a few decades ago) Libraries would be the place to go studying. How boring! In Singapore, McDonalds are the new libraries. Just buy a small fries at S$1.20, or if you are loaded go for the Grande Macchiato Frappe de-cafed on crushed ice and whipped cream at S$5.90 and spend the rest of the afternoon studying the Pitagora theorem and putting your fancy scientic calculator to good use. I guess you only see that here in Singapore...
