Nepal Day 10 - Odds and ends

Can you believe this headline?

OK, a burger joint trying this signage in America would have Burger King's lawyers in their door before the fries got cold.

That's what's odd: There is NO Burger King (or McDonalds or other fast food) in Katmandu. They are ripping off signage from a company that has no presence in the country.

Perhaps this is why GM is going bankrupt. These signs were everywhere. In 12 days I did not see ONE GM car on the streets.

  1. In Dubai, "Safeway" was made to desist. Now it's called "Safest Way."

    In Songtan, South Korea, though, right outside a US air base, no one bothered Mrs Kim, who ran "Mrs. Kim's McDonald's," a food cart that sold burgers, burgers with egg on top, misc. deep-fried stuff, and the best corndogs in the world. She wore an authentic 1970s-era McDonald's employee hat.

    In Woodbridge, VA, USA my friend worked for Pizza Hot. Their logo was an upside-down Pizza Hut logo. They are no longer in business.
