Never discount the fact that travelers know that a McDonalds will have a first world bathroom situation and that in other countries public restrooms aren't just everywhere and anywhere. It's very little time and money to buy a drink and become a true customer that can use nice and clean bathrooms in places that are otherwise not so hot. In the meantime, you have a foreign soda experience, or some other item with ice that is made from filtered water.

Burger King in Taiwan had the menu on the counter so you could point at what you want. With their hiring policies I'm surprised they aren't like that everywhere.

Lots of japanese eat at them, their happy hour lunch sets aren't that bad.

It's usually the "safe bet", over wendy's fuck fest, carls jr's overpriced shit, or taco bells weird creations. Burger king some how tends to still suck there.

MC Dicks breakfast set for like 500 yen is fucking great way to start the day since nips don't seem to believe in cereal in the morning or milk.

Weren't they planning on using Japanese McDonald's as de facto US embassies for American tourists?

>> No.12721970

>>12721958
That was Austria, and no. The only thing the MCDonalds staff is trained to do is to direct and assist in contact to the US Embassy. They have no acting power for legal matters.

"American citizens traveling in Austria who find themselves in distress and without a way to contact the US Embassy can enter – as of Wednesday, May 15, 2019 – any McDonald's in Austria, and staff will assist them in making contact with the US Embassy for consular services"

Aka they'll let you borrow their phone or a tablet to contact the embassy. You can do the same at most any police station abroad for varying countries.

there's no point in going to another country if you're just going to retreat to american fast food, maybe once you can try the unique menu items, but especially in japan there is a ton of fast and cheap food that is actually good that you can get everywhere.

Eh, depends some of the stuff is good in Japan. American food is easy enough to find. Pizza Slice in Shibuya is nice, Whoopie Gold Burger is based burgers there too.

British "food" is always crap unless the british food from Kebab Star or Kebab King counts. Stuff in Sapporo is pretty good, Osaka is the best though.

I know mate but I think it was new at the time (around 1997) there was a big marketing blitz for it and everyone was talking about it.

One day I went to Peggy's cove and dug up clams (oysters maybe? I was only 10 years old, dont remember) when the tide was out. We did it just for the experience none of us knew how to cook them. Some lady who was doing the same came up to talk to us as she recognized we had different accents. She invited us over and she showed us how to cook all the clams. Between my family and hers we had like a third of the garbage bag full. When we got to her house her husband was there. Big fat guy, clearly drunk but a happy jolly drunk. It was a good memory desu lad

nova scotia is the most friendly place by far in canada. people say all of canada is friendly and nice but that's not true at all, go to toronto, go to vancouver, go to montreal, you'll have a much different experience, vancouver is the same type of people who live in san Fransisco, but more chinese.
