Actually, I kind of wish. For those not lucky enough to be privy to my exciting history of gastrointestinal misadventures, a bad taco bell experience once sent me to the hospital. (Did I recently read that they're giving away free tacos to everyone in America? Is Bush behind this?) Here in Vietnam, KFC is the only American fast food chain with any presence. I have to wonder whether this will be the case for too much longer. The first McDonald's here would probably spark a riot of people rushing the doors. There's an Asian burger chain called Lotteria, but I haven't tried it. HA. Actually, I kind of wish.
