Ian,

Interesting to hear you talk about Japan just been 'open' and its global phenomenal brands. Most large Japanese brands are loosely defined group holding concerns, something probably like our SSE, with many independent businesses in their fold. About 7 years ago, I used to work for NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone), which was 'the largest company' in the world in early 90s. NTT is still the largest telecoms company in the world. Many of its clients were (most still are) some of the largest companies in their industry. And Japan being one of the smallest countries in the world, totally destroyed after the War, says something...

Bowing is culturally akin to our shaking hands, and they do it so much, that I was almost doing the same, with friends and family when I would come back home. Did you happen to see the food-range served by McDonalds? :-)

Thanks for keeping us updated with your experiences.

Kind regards,
Joseph

I'm afraid I dined in Macdonalds which was largely traditional Mac fare.

Ian,

McDonald's Japan (a few years ago at least) also served Mega Teriyaki, an extra large (four beef!) Big Mac, Mega Tomato Mac, McPork, Ebi Filet-O (shrimp burgers), Koroke Burger (mashed potato, cabbage and katsu sauce, all in a sandwich), Ebi-Chiki (shrimp nuggets) and (your favourite) Green Tea-flavored milkshake! :-)

Kind regards,
Joseph
