I used to think that 1 hour is not enough for lunch at Central Business District area as the eating places are always so crowded. Looking for a seat and queueing for food would take up most of the time. Let alone do any other activities.
But, I seen many professionals doing several stuff during the 1 hour lunch break.
For one, they do not like to eat at nearby food stores. They like to go for the yummy food even if it would mean more walking is needed. (they can walk real fast though)
Then, after reaching the location, they would need to find a table for them and their colleagues. It seems challenging to even find a seat for one, let alone a group of people. Here's a test to your analysis skills, haha. You have to quickly scan through the crowd and be prepared to move in to the best possible table at your fastest speed before anyone overtakes you.
Then, here comes the question, who should buy the food first? Time is precious, it's only an hour break, so everyone has to go get their food at the same time.
Taadaa~ the power of a tissue pack. LOL
I never thought it was really happening so commonly until I get to see it for myself. If you happen to see one small tissue pack on the central of the table, that whole table is reserved. Amazing isn't it? I wonder who started this type of seat reservation method.
While having their lunch, they still need to do some networking. You can see them chatting and eating at the same time. Yet, they can finish their food faster than you. Hmm..
Okie, everyone is done with their food. Time for some shopping and settlement of miscellaneous stuff. You can get some clothes, there are always some sales going on. But, you might not have the time to queue and try it on. So, another skill, try it on the spot. haha.
1 hour may seem short, but if you are determined, a lot of things can be done in such a short time.
