Back from Japanland!

[E-Man]

Sounds like you had a lot of fun!

I wish I could visit a foreign country. E-Man went to France, you went to Japan, and I'm still stuck here in stupid-ass America.

Come now, Mystie. America isn't all that bad. At least you are able to understand the language and you can get all the brands you trust. Also, everthing stays up so late, so you can shop for as long as you like! Besides, given the chance, I would happily live in the U.S. of A over almost anywhere in Europe (except maybe northenr or central France, the UK, or Germany).

-Shrimp burger from MacDonalds (yes yes yes)

That sounds like a good idea, really. I wouldn't mind tossing a few shrimps onto a burger to have a surf 'n' turf meal.

Speaking of McDonalds, I like how the restaurants in other country have at least one additional choice on their menus that isn't the typical burgers and fries. When I lived in Italy in the first half of 2006, one of the first things I ate there was fried bree cheese that tasted so good! Here in the Netherlands, I am able to buy shrimp and I took my first look at a certain fast food mascot that I'm sorry McDonalds of America sent on you guys state side back in May.
