McDonalds Across Borders

"Mc Donald's is the world's largest global food-service retailer, with more than 25,000 restaurants serving over 40 million people each day in 118 countries."

A classmate of mine in college is from Kenya and while i was talking to her about her country and how her culture is different from Malaysian culture, we came across the topic of McDonalds.

Apparently McDonalds in Kenya is quite different from what we would expect it to be. In order to eat at the restaurant, you must first make reservations. There is no such thing as walking into the shop and ordering take-away. So, it's basically considered a treat to dine there. Cool huh?

I was hoping to find more information about this online, but i can't seem to find anything. I thought that knowing what McDonald's is like across borders would be really interesting. So, if you know of where i can find more information on how McDonald's varies across cultures and it's differences across countries, do let me know.


Note: I just got the 'Super Size Me' documentary by Morgan Spurlock. Will be watching it later...
