If you were to visit Japan, would you go to McDonald's?

McDonald's is more expensive in Japan. I'd probably go once to see if the food tastes different, but I'd rather go somewhere else to eat. I was forced to eat at MickeyD's today because all of my friends were going. XDDD

I've eaten at Makku many times and will again, but never if there's a Mosburger or Freshness Burger around.

Mmmm... spicy mos cheesburger with fries...

But anyways;
Answering the question...
sure, why not?
I mean, low on money and want something fast,
sounds fine to me.

I didn't live in Tokyo and Sangetsu described my apartment exactly. Except my fridge held 2 packs of beer.

if i was in Japan and i was craving some american food once in a while. i've never been to/heard of Mos Burger o-0 and i've heard of Wendy's (oh, look at all those weird redheaded policemen chasing a chicken in that commercial...xD) but never went there either :|

tho, i don't kno one time that i ever got sick of Japanese/Chinese/Korean food xD

And I lived in a one room in downtown Nagoya that had a full size refrigerator, a 3 burner gas stove, and a fair bit of counter space.

It all depends on the apartment. Saying that single people never cook is silly. I know FAR FAR more single people who do cook than who eat out. Eating out most of the time ends up draining your cash - these days saving is a big thing.

My guesthouse has a gas stove. Kinda new for me, in sweden most people have electrical ones. I was kinda impressed with how fast you can boil water or heat a frying pan on these things... damn!

Heh, I got like a half shelf in the fridge, same with freezer. Anyone knows how much a small fridge to have in the room or something costs?

(about costs, as I remembered it beef was way expensive over here. But just yesterday I found some nice thin beef for like 300JPY / 250g, which is really cheaper than in Sweden atleast)

This was a long time ago for me, and I was paid more than I needed, so ended up eating out a lot...or lots of Hokka Hokka Tei.

Go down to Midori Denki or the local appliance store. I imagine 30,000 or so.

I think that going to a McDonald's in Japan would give people a better understanding of the behaviors of another culture when you observe them in a similar situation that you yourself are familiar with.

Therefore in my opinion GOING to McDonald's, regardless of eating the food or not, is a culturally enriching experience in itself.

I agree 100%.
