The cholera outbreak some months agao was an evidenc for that.

Thereofr its stupid to say all this bullshit about american food and culture etc. etc.. It is a restaurant like many others. Now I am still waiting for Mac D to come to Hanoi.

On the one hand, I can understand American fast food chains opening in order to cater to American tourists (I've been known to visit a McDonald's in Europe when I wanted a quick bite). On the other hand, there is so much good and cheap food in Vietnam that just about anything is a better alternative than American chains. In order to fight the onslaught of fast food, perhaps someone can create a Vietnamese healthy fast food chain with nice and clean decor. We have things like that in the U.S.-- for example, Subway sandwiches and Jamba Juice.chanchowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12075685729077186320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10523524.post-1156170087022471662006-08-21T21:21:00.000+07:002006-08-21T21:21:00.000+07:00hello. there are a lot of kfc in my country. i dun...hello. there are a lot of kfc in my country. i dun despise them. a lot of ppl here loves kfc:) <BR/><BR/>but i like mc donalds if i were to choose a fast food..<BR/><BR/>the local fast food here is equally expensive as the 'imported' ones..Winnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01785402155857373004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10523524.post-1156169693970657672006-08-21T21:14:00.000+07:002006-08-21T21:14:00.000+07:00kfc is soooooo bad for you.

If you eat junk food like McDonald or KFC, you are modern and sophisticated like the «Tây». It has nothing to do with the taste of the food and everything to do with being westernized, therefore «cool». That's why young people all over the world would rather wear jeans and T-shirt than their traditional/national clothes.Buddhist with an attitudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16762818329857051652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10523524.post-1156049002612126572006-08-20T11:43:00.000+07:002006-08-20T11:43:00.000+07:00Oh my gosh, the first ever fast food chain in Hano...Oh my gosh, the first ever fast food chain in Hanoi!When I was there I had no choice but to eat Vietnamese food, which was really delicious.
