A little piece of Americana

I don't think we could leave here without talking about our experience at McDonalds. I think just about everyone hunts down a Mickey D's when they visit another country, whether it's for novelty purposes or just because they're starving. For us, it was a little of both. We knew it would satisfy the taste for home without having to work for it. It's a little escape we like to take about once a week or so when I don't feel like cooking. I haven't tried the hamburger, but Aaron says that a Big Mac is a Big Mac no matter where you are, so I guess it would taste alright. They make sure you know that the beef is 100 percent Australian. This is important since the Koreans don't want anything to do with the "crazy cows" from the U.S. We usually order the "Shanghai Spice" chicken sandwich set anyway.
There isn't' anything too unusual on the menu. They have all the standards, except for the salads which is a bummer. They do not have BBQ sauce, but instead they offer a red pepper sauce to dip your chicken into. It's so Korean!
They have the same exact delicious hot fudge sundae for W1000 (about $1).
So here's a little clip of "America" in Korea:
