Welcome to McDonald's


Rice buns with deep fried shredded pork. McDonalds caters to tastes around the world. check it out. When trying to explain the low cost of living here in taiwan I use mcdonalds as an example. Being that mcdonalds is a constant around the world its easy to compare. Your normal big mac meal here in taiwan is about $3.00us, where as in the states i remember it being about $5. The minimum wage here is also around $3.00us. As an english teacher i make at least six times the minimum wage. So for me it seems like a good deal but to your average taiwanese person its not. Even though its cheap i have no interest in this rice monstrosity.
