McDonalds

You may see the word McDonalds and think big deal, I just ate there yesterday (we did actually), but McDonalds is a pretty big deal when you live in a foreign country. Actually that and any other American Restaurant you may come across. It took us almost 2 months to find a McDonalds in Korea when I got here, and it was kind of a project to get there, but boy oh boy was it worth it! You could not even imagine how good it tastes when it's not readily accessible to you and on every other street. It's delicious!! In the states, you can use the drive thru anytime you are craving some french fries or maybe thirsty for a big sweet tea :) We haven't braved the drive thru here, it's sometimes hard enough to order face to face with the language barrier, but oh so worth it. The McDonalds in our area is a short train ride away or a pain in the ass car ride away with the traffic. But they just closed it down and remodeled it, and geez they went all out! I'm talking high class McD's! Should take some pics, because it puts the U.S McD's to shame :) But anyways..... as we were driving to McD's yesterday we were very close to our house where they have been building something, that kind of looked like a bank, and lo and behold on the front of the building is a banner saying "coming soon McDonalds" I'm pretty sure Josh and I almost did a little jig of happiness :) Most importantly because it's within walking distance of our apartment! Don't get me wrong, we don't want a steady diet of McDonalds, but everything in Korea is a project and to just have something so close made us feel like we were stateside again. Oh and because we love the Choco Oreo McFlurry ;)
