It seems silly to travel somewhere and then expect to eat exactly the same food that would be served at home. I find it remarkable that so many people not like us seem to want to do just that. How else would McDonalds, et al have managed to infiltrate so many cities? <BR/><BR/>-Elizabeth Yes, us too.
