McDonald’s

There are two McDonald’s in Tbilisi. One is three stories and the other is two. I walk by the three story one almost daily. It doesn’t look at all like our McDonald’s but the smell that comes from it is the same. I understand when the three story and first one was being built there were protesters but now it is just a part of the landscape and always busy. My son who is not a fan of fast food but always asked if I had gone inside. He visited on in Ireland and loved that he could buy beer. Keti and I were out walking on Sunday and I suggested that we go inside and buy french fries. Georgian potatoes are extremely tasty and I’ve been told that the McDonald’s french fries are quite good. The menu did not appear to have anything different (it was all in Georgian but the pictures were the same as the US) except for the smiles for free. Keti ordered for me but discovered she couldn’t remember the Georgian word for french fries. Soon we were all laughing and the boy behind the counter helped us out. He knew the word! Ketchup is not free but since I am not a fan of ketchup, there was no need. I was amazed at how good the fries tasted. Curiosity satisfied and I feel no need to return. Karen
