Five Vacation Destinations Just Added

Whenever people ask me to reveal one thing that’s interesting about me, I always get stuck. I always end up saying something like, “I bet you’d never guess that I love country music.” Sure, people never would have guessed I watch Nashville religiously, but I just remembered one thing about me that may be slightly more interesting.

I’ve been out of the country about a dozen times in my life and a handful of states in the U.S. Some of my favorite places include Taiwan, Singapore, Spain, France, Japan, Thailand, Korea, and Hong Kong. The one thing that these places all have in common is McDonalds. People don’t understand it, but every time I step foot in a new country or even a new state, I MUST visit a McDonalds. Some countries will have different, special, items on the menu to cater to the local taste. I had popcorn chicken with special seasoning in Japan, a pineapple pie in Thailand, and kimchee flavored fries in Hong Kong.

Instead of searching for new and interesting dishes at McDonalds, I just came across very interesting architecture that made my vacation destination list just a bit longer:

First on the list would be a McDonalds with a view in Yang Shao, China.

Second, I plan on visiting this McDonalds in an old DC3 plane in Taupo, New Zealand.

Third, this is the first McDonalds still preserved the original look in Downey, CA.

Fourth, this art deco style McDonalds is located in Clifton Hill, Melbourne.

And finally, I definitely want to make it out to this Georgian Mansion in Hyde Park, New York.

McDonalds recently started changing the look of their design from the signature red and yellow to more muted colors to make it look a little more upscale. I would definitely say that the photos above are doing the trick. What do you think?
