McDonald’s often caters to the culture of the country it’s in, which is why I’ll occasionally check out Mickey D’s when I’m travelling in Asia or Europe.

Clever squirming. You said "McDonald’s often caters to the culture of the country it’s in". This photo could have been taken in Markham or on Spadina.
@Thai Won On: Hardly. Consider that spaghetti isn't Filipino, but McSpaghetti is one of the offerings unique to McDonald's in the Philippines.
