McDonald's in Wangfujing

Wangfujing, also called #1 Street by some locals, is a very touristy spot that includes an impressive mall with western-style stores, side streets with great street food that the students love, big bookstores, and at least two McDonalds. We didn't eat at this one, but I did take some photos. That day McDonalds was featuring three kinds of big meals: the Australia, the Korea, and the Brazil. All of the prices are in RMB, so divide by 7.8, making each a little over $3. Of course for $3 in China you can eat a huge amount (as we did last night when we went out to eat with our Chinese teacher, Xiao Laoshi) if you are with a group and can order lots of dishes. We did, and it cost 25 RMB (kuai or yuan) per person, a little over $2. But once in a while McDonalds tastes good: I did have the Australia once, and the iced coffee topped with whipped cream was great. The burger wasn't bad either!
