It must be said that the restaurant that Pierce had investigated beforehand was indeed of high quality. Although the meals were the usual hamburgers, sandwiches, large pieces of roast meat, and large vegetable salads paired with beer, the strong Western atmosphere could be seen.
The so-called Western atmosphere is actually a kind of wild redneck spirit, advocating freedom, unrestraint, barbarism, and toughness. For example, if you don't tip enough in this restaurant, the waiters' attitude would be worse than the state-owned shops in China in the 70s.
It's strange to see such a situation in a restaurant, but considering the pitifully low salaries of the local waiters, they might have to sleep on the streets if they don't get tips.
Like Leonard said before, this place is both heaven and hell. For example, due to the local dry climate and large underground drainage, thousands of desperate people live in the city's sewers.
