I had my first opportunity to eat a McDonalds outside of the US. It is a really different experience. I ate a hamburger with fries and a Sprite in Vienna. It was a three level restaurant. It seemed more like a nice cafe than a fast-food joint. Most interestingly the place was filled with about 85% females, most of whom were between sixteen and thirty years old. Most of the menu was the same as the US, but was much more expensive. The ketchup was not included with the meal and cost an additional .50 euros. I wish more McDonalds in America had the ambience that this one did, but definitely not the costs.
In each country I like to try the local soda, for example in Mexico they have a drink called "Manzana Lift" that is sold by Coca-Cola. In Vienna they had a drink called "Almdudler" that was distributed by Coca-Cola. I have a very hard time describing it because I haven't had anything like it, but it somewhat close to ginger ale and an apple flavored drink. I had the drink along with my Vienna sausage (bratwurst with cheese) and enjoyed both of them very much.
