WiFi with that Set?


A couple interesting notes on fast food in Japan. At McDonalds you will always be greeted with "Good Morning," or "Good Afternoon." Never in the typical Japanese greeting. You will always be asked if the food is "To Go" at any fast food place, and a "Combo," sandwich, fries and drink are called a "set." It really lends a more retail experience to the whole fast food thing. I mean you buy a set of earrings, glasses, dishes. You don't typically think of buying a set of food. Is it just me? So the photo is a really cool McDonalds in Kyoto, you can slide into your own little cubby with electrical outlet and wifi. Free wifi is still the norm in Japan even though it has almost completely vanished from the US. Oh yeah and a big crossed arms for leaving a tip... never leave a tip!
