When I imagined Taiwan and the other countries I'm going to, I had this sorta exotic, very different than America world in mind. I get to Taiwan and I see McDonalds, Starbucks, Burger King, Yoshinoya, Dunkin Donuts, Mr Donut, MOS burger, 7-eleven ... and that's just scratching the surface.
Reading the directions to one of my hostels in Indonesia, I read ... 1) Turn left at Starbucks 2) Go straight passed the Kentucky Fried Chicken ...
It really takes away from the exoticness of foreign countries. At the same time, it's comforting knowing that even if I can't speak the language, I can eat something familiar. Corporations are amazing in how they have their footing in I guess every country in the world.
I'm going to go get a whopper and famous jack now ... tune in later ...
