I’ve written many times in the past about how I love to check out McDonald’s around the world but rarely visit McD’s at home.
I have a few reasons for visiting McD’s when traveling. The main reason is that I love to see what local menu-items might be available in each country.

A little over two years back, Kim, Lucas and I headed to Japan. While I had always wanted to go to Japan (I’d like to go everywhere!), it wasn’t a place very high on my list. However, the country blew me away and the trip greatly over-exceeded any expectations.
With Japan being a leader in developing technology, one thing that surprised me was the lack of Wi-Fi in public places and restaurants.
Well now there seems to be Japan Connected-Free Wi-Fi nationwide. Kind of… Continue reading Free Wi-Fi in Japan. Kind Of…
