Is that Burger King I see to the right, written in English? Or does it just look like that because I'm used to seeing it in English?

TELL ME, END MY SUFFERING.

Oh wait.. it must be in English, because you can see the "B" quite clearly.
I wonder why that is?

OH - on closer inspection, "McDonalds" is written in English, too. Wow, what a bilingual photo.

[dr_spangle]

Yeah, i think it's because the name of the franchise is "burger king" and hence it's written in english. woo that.

but.... but.... Hebrew!

chances are you met me too... or at least brushed past me as I went to bust a move or something.

McDonald's has adapted very well in countries which haven't always embraced western food traditions. In some parts of asia you can get fried rice, and then there's the pork thing... McRibs anyone? Oh yeah, and in Austria you can get beer with your big mac.

There was a story about it in the employees' magazine back in 2000.
