Rule of traveling: never eat anywhere you can back home (which is pretty much any chain restaurant)

I dunno, I got a kick out of visiting Tim Hortons in Saudi Arabia. My Canadian friends on facebook were amused by it.

Tbf, I want to go to Kuwait just for the Taco Bell (and then maybe swing by the Afghan/Pakistan border to check out the market and buy some cool hand engraved shit, but,) Kuwait is the only country that has Volcano Tacos still. I want to bring home, portion out, and freeze an entire bag of that fucking sauce and then I can turn taco bell here into Volcano Tacos (without the red shell but who cares, the secret’s in the sauce.)

Kuwait is not near Afghanistan or Pakistan. You’re mixing up two different US wars ;)

It has borders with Iraq, Saudi Arabia and almost Iran.

I assume it’s closer together than the US is to either, so “while I’m in the neighborhood” I may as well pop over. Flight has to be cheaper and I could probably get away with making Kuwait a 14hr layover.

I ate at the first ever Carl’s Jr in Japan right after it opened because it’d been 3 weeks since I’d been home and was dying for some home food

Walk in and it’s themed after LA and SACRAMENTO (home) of all places, and there was a California expat family eating there so we sat next to them and raced about how the food tasted just like home but s little better

Then the news can say and interviewed the lady and her son

Sometimes it’s worth visiting those places lol

Can confirm food in Japan is just better even at the same fast food restaurants.

McDonald’s is the one restaurant that I will eat at internationally because they have different menu items. It is interesting to see what is popular in that country and the local interpretation of American culture. But even then it’s one and done and only if I absolutely have to eat a quick meal to make a reservation or something

it’s just funny how america known for its fast food has the worst mcdonalds menu in the world. Even the one special thing they had of having cheap items is gone.

I moved to London in 2011. When Five Guys opened here in 2013, I think I ate there at least once a week for 2 months.

Also, what the fuck. It was expensive back then, and it’s just absurdly priced now. Also I don’t eat hamburgers as often which is definitely a good thing…

That’s an interesting way of saying you’ve never left the US.

Only time I got food poisoning when traveling was in the US lol and I’ve eaten pretty sketchy places all over the world.

I was in the US Navy and you would be surprised at how many people will say things like that and eat at chili’s or whatever else when there is something perfectly good and new (to you) to try. Just never understood why some of the people I served with insulated themselves from seeing and experiencing new things.
