Cultural Shock

Alright so I'm sitting at work and I just remembered another cultural shock that I had. I was in Cairo and in a taxi when all of a sudden I looked out the window and there was a man on a bike with something attached to it. The attachment was a container that read "McDonald's Delivery" I couldn't believe it when I read that. Apparently McDonald's is the place to not only get food delievered but people go on dates there. It's a symbol of status here.

Hardees is also pretty popular here. There's also Domino's, Little Caesar's, Pizza Hut and KFC. I've been advised not to eat at KFC tho' cause someone got major food poisening there and was sick for about 5 days and ended up getting sicker later and losing almost 30 pounds. The start of the chain of events began at that particular establishment, and I'd rather not find out what could happen to me if I eat there. Which I think is a shame cause I love KFC's mac n cheese. I'm highly disappointed.

I'll post if I have any more culture shocks!
