Japanese McDonald’s

I have decided I am going to try to post some pictures of Japan-not just about what we are doing and places we go. So let me know what you would like to see.

I have a file in My Pictures called “Shots of Japan”. I collect there basically all the pictures we take of nature, people, places around Misawa. The following pictures I took were from McDonald’s. We do have one in Misawa. It accepts Yen and US dollars! It even has a drive through. Its dollar menu (100 yen menu, technically $1.20) has such items as McPork on it:)

McDonald’s in Japan is more expensive than in the states. For Double Cheeseburger combo meal, for example, you’ll pay $6.70 or so. Anyway, we go to McDonald’s rarely. It’s still unhealthy even in Japan:)

Lately, our McDonald’s has been running this advertisement of different hamburgers naming them after certain US states. A month ago it was Idaho Burger—they put a hash brown patty on top of the hamburger.

Then it was Miami Burger—with chips on top. Manhattan Burger is next:)

What I have to smile about is the name “BIG AMERICA 2”. Sad, but true.  The only question remains in my mind, “Why “2””?

P.S. What Misawa AFB really needs is a fast food restaurant like Panera Bread. Soup/sandwich/salad. There is a huge demand for that kind of food here. HUGE! Unfortunately, preparing fresh American style food is probably too expensive because of transportation cost…. I’ll be dreaming of you, tomato-basil and rye bread….
