Are there any in Brazil, Ric? What other franchises are there? I always love hearing the differences between the American and "foreign" (to me) versions of fast food, ever since the conversation about the Le Big Mac and the Royale with Cheese in Pulp Fiction.

Ha! Are you kidding? The commercial empire of America invades all boarders. No where is safe from the banner of the Golden Arches of Triumph! Ever heard the song "Amerika" by Rammstein? I love that song for how very true the commercialization part is, which is the only part in English. Very wisely they switch over to German when complaining about America being world police. That way it had the chance to become a popular radio song and at the same time not offend unilingual patriotic Americans. But I still like the song.

Back to the main point of this post. It is funny what fastfood places you will find in the most obscure places. I was in Ohrid, Macedonia one time (I get around) and on the very corner of the sidewalk there was this huge kiosk with a McDonald's sign on top. It turned out it was a real authentic McDonald's. It was funny because all it had for a seating area was a few benches cemented into the sidewalk in front of the McDonalds. It had the "number 1" "number 2" ect. menu setup on the wall like American McDonalds do. But when it would close they would just lock its one door, and then close and lock the front ordering window. It is like this obscure modified little peice of America right there in the middle of Macedonia.

Oh yeah, and Little Ceasers is awsome. In quality and price.
