McDonalds in Japan

June 29 2009. Well yesterday we went for a drive to Hachinohe. We've been there before. It's about 30 minutes to the South. Our mission was to find a computer store so that Shane could find parts for his mistress (the computer). It has been in death throes for a couple of weeks now...poor thing (not sure if that sympathy is for Shane or the computer, ah well) Anyway, accomplished finding the computer store. After such a feat, we were hungry. Since we haven't eaten at McDonalds yet, decided we should give it a try.
Thank goodness for picture menus! Most of the restuarants, whether an American import, or native Japanese, usually have pictures. Those that don't have pictures, will have a very brief, somewhat confusing english translation.
One just points to the picture of choice, then to the sides. works well. Except for me....Let me just say...#8 is NOT a hamburger! It is a sausage patty with teryaki sause piled on it. Oh well, ate it anyway. Shane got a #1....the secret sause here....not so secret...horseradish...Shane does NOT like horseradish. Andi, got the safe kids meal, and throughly enjoyed it. Lucky girl!
