      You’d love “An Idiot Abroad,” the show of an average British bloke (Karl Pilkington) puttering around like an idiot in other countries.

      “Today I’m here in Singapore, eating in McDonalds.”

      “Today I’m here in China, eating in McDonalds.”

      “Today I’m here in Japan, eating in McDonalds.”

        I don’t get the point of going to another culture……. To just eat and experience the Americanised stuff.

          It’s always fun to try it once while you are there, fast food chains outside of the us tend to taste better and sometimes have different options then back in the states. But it’s usually a once and done type of deal, I want to try the local cuisine more than anything!

          So they can say return home and ask their friends and family, “do you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?”

            Something about pound her with cheese? I didn’t know they had such hard cheeses in France.
