McDonald's coming to Vietnam

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Heard today from someone who's father works for the government in Hanoi that the Golden Arches will be opening in HCMC in April 2008. via Lonely Planet

thats gud that they are building a maccas'a cause the kfc over there is weird and instead off chicken nuggets they got fish nuggets!.....eww! and a new burger called the shrimp burger!....eww! and the chips are much smaller than kfc australia! like macca's chip's! the ice cream is alright though! yummy!!!

You're in Asia, you idiot. Specifically, southeast Asia, home to the most complex and incredible food on earth. Hopefully McDonalds won't take off and damage traditional eating like it already has in China. Trying actually eating Vietnamese food. Jeez.

Vietnamese food is good if you want diahrea. Mcdonalds will bring good food quality to your table.

I'm looking forward to mc'pho and mc broken rice. Yummy.

It'd be huge hit, once it arrives.

Northern Chinese food is crap. McDonalds coming in was a great thing.

What's the evidence that McDonalds has damaged traditional eating in China? Not trying to be provocative and I've no interest in supporting McDonalds, just interested to know.

Look in the toilets and you'll see the McShit you left behind you.
