I finally did it. I finally crossed something off my to-do list for this trip. I had a beer at McDonald’s.
Ever since I got here a week ago, several people have asked me whether I am experiencing culture shock. Honestly I had not until I went into McDonald’s today and order a beer.
For the most part the McDonald’s here are not very different from American McDonald’s. Both are full of noisy kids, parents who probably need a beer and nasty food. The Jakominiplatz McDonald’s where we went was full of noisy kids pushing and shoving their way to the counter. I now understand why they have beer at McDonald’s here.
I was a little disappointed because my original goal was to have a Happy Meal with a beer, but the lady at the counter refused to fill that order. I ended up with a Cheeseburger, French Fries and a beer.
Although the food McSucked just like in America, the beer was surprisingly not bad. In fact, I think it was much better than the one I had earlier in the week at the Eckstein restaurant. The beer was light and went down pretty smooth.
Da-Da-Da-Da-Da! I’m tipsy!
