I mean, I ate more McDonald's during that time than ever in my life, but only because of what Lem said -- it was a sliver of home in an abyss of the strange and awesome and unfamiliar.<BR/><BR/>Also, I totes agree with what Abbott said re: seeing how each is different in every country. <BR/><BR/>Wait, but what was I saying?

And I still wouldn't have gotten around to cleaning up whatever I snorted on myself and I'd just be a mess. This is why I don't go out in public.<BR/><BR/>Or something.<BR/><BR/>I do like to go into McDonald'ses in foreign lands to see how they are different.
