That reminds me of how one of my favourite memories of the Czech Republic was seeing young couples having romantic dinner dates in McDonalds.
It actually took me several weeks to understand that to them the McDonalds was a special place; an affordable restaurant with an air of foreign mystique ...
- liquidcool 13y agoWas that also in the 80's? I'm in Prague now and I don't think anyone sees McD as special. Starbucks seems to have that appeal, although I find Costa Coffee much better. But I spent May in Kyiv and they love McDonald's there. I was told it's seen as a very good deal.
- mtrimpe 13y agoOh my god; I'm getting old. That was about 8 or 9 years ago :) Just to be clear, 95% of people sitting at McDonalds would just be eating their schlep, while these couples would sit starry eyed between them. Also, if you're talking about Prague: that's not Czech Republic as many Czechs like to say ... it's a different world all unto itself.
