Japanese mcdonalds was definitely the weirdest to me, they had like black sauce on poo poo or sometimes white stuff that wasnt mayonaise. I liked hong kongs breakfast menu (like somem kind of noodle and chicken thing that loving kicked rear end). bulgolgi burgers in korea (although they suck) I wonder if mcdonalds in weirder places have weirder things

More images and/or gifs of Tokyo which appear to be Cyberpunk-like to varying degrees:  ^^Tokyo Tower, Japan's second tallest structure (after the Tokyo Skytree)       ^^Bike racks  ^^Japanese Street Robot (I WANT TO BELIEVE)

Get an Arch Deluxe to go with my McPizza (yes, this was a thing). Japanese McDonald's is an experience, though. You will never see happier people than the people working there, you are basically guaranteed to have your food within 4 minutes of lining up (and it's usually closer to 2), and the food is always picture-perfect; no mushed burgers or soggy fries ever. And it's cheaper than McDonald's in Canada.

Agreeing that Japanese McDonald's is a sublime experience. Teriyaki burgers are also delicious as hell. The KFC's in Japan are amazing as well.

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAL_%28robot%29 quote:During the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show, it was announced that the United States government had expressed interest in purchasing HAL suits.[14] In March 2011, CYBERDYNE presented a legs-only HAL version for the disabled, health care professionals and factory workers.[15] In November 2011, HAL was selected to be used for cleanup work at the site of the Fukushima nuclear accident.[16] During the Japan Robot Week exhibition in Tokyo in October 2012, a redesigned version of HAL was presented, designed specifically for the Fukushima cleanup.[7] In March 2013, ten Japanese hospitals conducted clinical tests of the newer legs-only HAL system.[17] In late 2014, HAL exoskeletons modified for construction use entered service with the Japanese construction contractor Obayashi Corporation.[6] Nostalgia4Infinity posted:Agreeing that Japanese McDonald's is a sublime experience.

I don't know about the laws about false advertising but yeah everything was immaculate. If I wanted to get all  about it I would thank the living wage the folks who worked there received.

My wife and I ate there way too often in the 2.5 years we lived there (we did eat other things, but McDonald's definitely had a disproportionate advantage) and not once do I remember getting non-perfect food. Eating out in Japan in fast food or family restaurant-type deals is streamlined as gently caress. Basically think about your perfect visit to your fast food restaurant of choice; no waiting, no bullshit, food was perfect. That's every time in Japan. Once while I was getting ready to leave the clerk at the register noticed me, bolted from behind the counter at a world record pace, just to get ahead of me...so he could hold open the door for me. I'd paid under $5 for my food.

KFC in all of Asia is better than American KFC. Still, why would you ever go to a foreign country to eat a fast food restaurant lol.

The Buddhist temple complex at Nara, Japan is one place that I really want to visit during my life. "Wikipedia posted:The Great Buddha Hall (Daibutsuden) has been rebuilt twice after fire. The current building was finished in 1709, and although immense—57 m long and 50 m wide—it is actually 30% smaller than its predecessor. Until 1998, it was the world's largest wooden building.  "Wikipedia posted:The 16 m (52 ft) high statue was built through eight castings over three years, the head and neck being cast together as a separate element. The making of the statue was started first in Shigaraki. After enduring multiple fires and earthquakes, the construction was eventually resumed in Nara in 745, and the Buddha was finally completed in 751. A year later, in 752, the eye-opening ceremony was held with an attendance of 10,000 people to celebrate the completion of the Buddha. The Indian priest Bodhisena performed the eye-opening for Emperor Shōmu. The project nearly bankrupted Japan's economy, consuming most of the available bronze of the time.  The original complex also had two pagodas that, according to the historical record, were 100 m tall and may have been the second-tallest human-made structures in the world at the time behind the Great Pyramid at Giza, Egypt.

My wife and I worked really lovely hours and McD's was the only thing still open in our area when we got out, pretty much (although we did have other things as much as circumstances allowed). We'd do groceries as much as possible but Japanese fridges are loving tiny and basically designed around the idea that you have a stay-at-home waifu doing the groceries every day.

The last time I was in Japan I was interning at a company there and the way from my apartment to work was just lined with awesome food places so I never really felt the need to go to a American fast food place.

Yeah I get you, and I didn't get sick once but I have traveled a shitload in my short life so I just assume my immune system is used to foreign crap being shoveled in it. Nostalgia4Infinity posted:I lived there for two years Last time I was there it was for 6 months, but as said earlier it depends on where you were. EDIT: Is it nice being stationed in Japan? Iv had friends who have said is great, and others who have said that Korea is a much nicer place to get stuck with. Venom Snake fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Jan 19, 2015 |

I've always loved traditional Japanese carpentry tools but there's no point in me buying any because I'm too much of a useless klutz to ever put them to good use.

I have a sneaking suspicion this is highly dependent on where you are specifically Like if you're in the JET program and end up with a bad choice you can get stuck in a literal college dorm with a curfew and a "no alcohol" policy and I can't imagine a worse hell.
