this is also a test.  it will show mexico city.

I love to take pictures. LOTS of pictures.  While some pictures are of the usual famous landmarks or stunning scenery, other pictures are of things that may go ignored.  I took pictures of things that were different from back home, and there was something that was interestingly present where ever I went...McDonald's!

The McDonald's in the US are seemingly similar, which is expected.  That is what is reassuring about McDonalds...everywhere you go you know that it will be like the one you know, like a little piece of home.  But traveling I noticed something interesting; while it was true that ordering a Big Mac in Spain was like ordering a Big Mac in the US, sometimes there were local adaptations.  A teriyaki McChicken or a Curry Cheeseburger in Japan? WOW. The food makes local adaptations, but so do the locations. Its kind of become a ritual for me to go and try the unique menu items in other countries and see the way that McDonald's has integrated to the landscape.

I didn't start taking pictures consciously, I was very interested in the way that McDonald's has tried to fit in to the local scene. It wasn't until recently that I realized how many pictures of McDonald's I had taken and decided to share them incase anyone else is interested.
