In an effort to save a few euros today we popped in to a local McDonald's for a meal. Complete confusion ensued. They have self serve kiosks where you order and pay for your food, then take your ticket to the counter for pick up. Not sure this really saves any time, but the kiosks are available in so many languages so I guess it may ultimately help with language barriers?
Then there was the issue of everything on the menu being different from us aside from the standard Big Mac. But who wants a boring Big Mac when there's other weird stuff to explore?!? I ended up with some baconator type burger and mark had an onion ring burger. Both decently good for a McDo-type meal but when oh when will we get these wedge fries they have in North America please? And a real McCafe complete with macarons, pies (real pies!) and pastries! That's what we're missing.
Every time we walk down the street there's been begging gypsies. Better that than pick pocketing gypsies I suppose. But they seem strangely organized - territorial, relieving each other on shifts, and getting the whole family involved. Mark is fascinated by them but I told him to get out of the window and stop watching them before they put a curse on him.
