Family dining

Another unusual scene for a Westerner, like the one in the picture below. This is the family section of a fast food restaurant, the name of which literally everybody is familiar with. Families (including just women, or women with a male relative) each have their own private booth, shielded by heavy curtains from outside view. We had our lunch in one of them.

“For families only,” posted earlier.

Sometimes I think a psychologist would have a field day in that country! Voted.

Interesting, but quirky indeed. Privacy prevails. When in Rome....
