Tiny McDonald's in Shanghai

I decide one morning to take the ferry across the Huangpu River in Shanghai (2 RMB, roughly 31 cents US) and walk around the Pudong area.

As I sat on the concrete wall facing the river talking on the phone, a crowd of giggling teenage girls came up the esplanade.  One of them sat next to me and another took her picture.  The picture-taker then gave me a big thumbs up.  I imagine that picture is now on someone’s social media site, “Sitting with Foreigner”.

Walking further up the esplanade, I spot what has to be one of the smallest McDonald’s around.

I can’t imagine that more that one employee fits in the store.  But people are lining up, especially for ice cream.  Not a bad idea.

But, work calls and it’s time to take the ferry back across and head off to my meetings.
