McManners
Yes, the Golden Arches is here, encouraging bad eating habits, er, I mean serving tasty treats, all over the world. Every so often we will take the kids there, and sink into the taste of America. Well, sort of. I have not seen any McDonalds in America offering to tickle the taste buds of its patrons with corn or taro pies. Or pineapple. Nary an apple or lemon pie to be had.
For the more adventurous burger enthusiasts, you could also try the McRice. A ‘bun’ made of grilled sticky rice with a pork patty in some kind of soy sauce inside. Actually, I do not think it sounds so bad, but if we are going to pay the high prices of McDonalds, I am getting a beef burger!
One thing we miss about the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave is the drive-thru. Oh for the convience of the drive-up window. But there are compromises. When we go to McDonalds here, we get waited on at our table, food brought to us (including the ketchup from the service pump), refills and clean up service.
So of course when we leave, we are polite, thank our servers and wai them. Well, at least most of us anyway. 
Khap Khun kha Ronald!
