Taste is different. And the way you dislike the soy fried fries at (german) McDonald's is a good choice btw. Another good point is the german regulations on everything, which I really like, Japanese would love our TÜV. Hungarians have a different mentality. If they don't like the place because the food is crap, they would simply not come again, McD's is no exception. This is why many elder people eat there to, besides the cheap prices. How about BK in Japan, how expensive are burgers at BK compared to the cheap McD's? Jan, you’re right. Taste is different.

I prefer KFC's fries (or "pommes frites", as you know ;) over here in Germany which really taste different from McDo's or BK's, i.e. taste like potatoes. But I guess there's also people who'll prefer the latter. At least the fast food chains are under surveillance from publich help dept. over here, not sure about Hungary though ;) Speaking of people who like to line up, same picture when MrDonuts came to Taiwan *sigh* ...and yet I never realized the lack of BK in Japan.

How right you are about there being people from many different countries in Japan. I have met people from all over the globe when in Osaka. I don't think my fiancee ever really realized that many of those Caucasian faces she sees are from different places. Anyway, one of the Japanese in Roy's photos is an college classmate and she is from Seattle Washington. I was so surprise to see her in Roy's photo! ^o^ It's such a small world.

Oh well, I guess it's like queuing 1 hr for donuts, but seriously, I think you can get your burgers a lot quicker once the excitment dies down. Do hope BK doesn't shrink the burgers in Japan, coz Mine are, so I've kinda like given up on fast food. Queuing 2 hrs for a burger!

Watch the movie "Supersize Me". In that movie a guy tried to live on nothing but McDonalds for 30 days. He got really sick and went to the doctor who told him "Whatever you are doing to yourself stop it because it's killing you". These "foods" are also full of not just calories but also dangerous chemicals which are poisonous. This is one reason cancers are skyrocketing.

I go to A&W way to often myself. McDonald's is just garbage really. Burger King is better but not by much. I have heard of people buying the 4-patty whopper with extra fries and a huge milkshake. Folks, that's about 10,000 calories right there, or 4-days worth of food for a normal sized man. Stoneman I agree, the food is not good for you. I go to A&W way to often myself.
