I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I kind of expected Japanese pizza to be "different" in some way when compared to the American variety.

Is that a Chipotle chicken skewer? It just looks very similar to ones I've seen.

I bought foods from American stands, so I guess they are same as in the U.S.
(isn't it no-fun buying Japanese food when you are in foreign territory.

I dunno. I just worry sometimes that we're slowly descending into one bland, America-based culture. When I went to Canada, all the restaurants were owned by American conglomerates, and my European friends seem to go to the exact same chains that I can find in my own country. I was overjoyed when I moved to Wisconsin to get something other than what I got back in Alabama (there's a number of local chains up here due to very cheap farm food) but even then, my favorite places to eat are surrounded by Taco Bells and McDonalds.

I guess I'm paranoid, but I'm afraid that in the future, my choices will be "Do I want to eat at the McDonalds in the Walmart or the one by the Taco Bell?"

Taco Bell finaly opend in Mexico last year

I'm sorry.

I'm not in mexico so no need to say sorry to me. I'm up in mass. BUt yeah it was on the news, and the but of many late night jokes that the Fake Mexican food went to Mexico.

When we become all one corporate autocracy, I'm going to rebel by stealing used cooking oil out of the McDonalds dumpster.

About 5 years ago, when bottled water started to really become popular, Pepsi and Coke announced that they would begin a series of smear and marketing campaigns that would get tap water reduced to "showering and washing dishes." McDonalds supposedly stated that they intend to make it so that grocery stores "are visited rarely, if at all" through an aggressive series of campaigns and menu expansions.

I doubt either campaign will be successful, but the fact that they want to try is what worries me.

If ever I go to Japan I don't want to see anything to do with American food, stores, toys, games, movies or shows.
It kind of defeats the purpose of traveling to another country for a visit. :)

I hear there's pizza places in Japan where one can get squid ink as a topping. I'd try it at least once to see what it's like

When Iw a sin Japan the pizza was the same pretty much but different toppings available. And they sent it with a side order of Tater Tots!! Woo!

Those Shin Meiwas are still so awwweeeesome.

Sorry to say, my sibling is a marine but he is not a FA member.

Roland, it's sad enough I already have the McDonalds in both locations. I miss Whattaburger.

I miss Whataburger too, but they don't have it in the boring-ass Midwest.

I shutter to think how Missouri will fuck up another good franchise.

Looks like it was a fun time.

Lower left hand corner panel looks DELICIOUS!!! *nom nom nom*

I'm not sure if Ken is eating the planes, too!

Oh wow...those old sea birds are in fantastic shape. :D

I used to be in Japan for a couple months. Fuckin hated it.
