PVX: McDonald’s in Israel

by in McDonald's of the World, Postcard Valet, PV-Podcast, Travel, Videos

We really only had one day in Israel, so of course visiting a McDonald’s was high on our list of things to do!  My goal was to go to one of the few kosher restaurants, but they were all closed for Shabbat; we checked.  We lucked out because there was one in the airport and we hit it on the way out, but it didn’t have the infamous “blue arches,” one of the only logo changes McDonald’s has ever approved (supposedly.)

Anyway, we dragged our friend, Michal, to McDonald’s in Tel Aviv with us.  Turned out to be a good thing, as most of the menu was in Hebrew…

Oh, and I think the mic on Oksana’s point-and-shoot is toast.  No idea what happened (raindrop, perhaps?), but this is the second recording where the audio is just horrible.  Good thing we have friends bringing us a brand new Sony TX10 in a few weeks!

      Getting volume (if not quality) for my money!!! However, to be completely honest, sometimes McDonald’s is the safest food option on the road in a foreign country! And yes, in this type of situation, I would choose McDonald’s over a local fast food stand because I know I will not spend the next 24 hours in the bathroom!
