McDonalds in Moscow
 

Seeing as how you live in Moscow Roy I was wondering if you could tell us what McDonalds is like over there? Is it popular?

I can vaguely remember it being reported in the papers that when the first Mc Donalds opened in Russia it cost a small fortune, but was so popular,they would queue outside in the streets! I hope they have aquired better tastes now.

By the way Willow, does your emoticon show that "secret ingredient" in a Mc.Donalds burger??

Just think how deprived of western things they must have been before they got McDonalds tho.

And just think how disillusioned they must be now they have them!

Yes McDonalds is very popular over here. The wife says it is because it is so cheap that everyone can afford to go there for some fodder. Although they don't go often. The wife also went to the opening of the first McDonalds in Moscow which is near Pushkin Square, she queued with the rest of them for something like 6 hours to get the first taste of the western way! Can you believe that?? One of my friends here installs kitchens in McDonalds and last year they opened their 100th Mcdonalds in Moscow, so you don't have to queue anymore!

Re: McDonalds in Moscow
 

Royal Cheeseburger, the same as they call it in Europe. They didn't have quarter pounds so it would mean nothing to 'em!

Yeah, and we all know what happened to last Royals the Russians had..lined up against a wall - shot - and dumped down a well. Problem is you could'nt do that with a Macdonalds - it would poison the water supply.
