Unique McDonald's Around the Globe

As a culture, Japan famously enjoys adapting elements from all over the world into their own and adding a dash of Japanese flavor. It's no surprise to learn that the famed McDonald's menu also reflects this trend. Head to the Golden Arches for the Teriyaki Burger or a Gurakoro Burger, featuring a fried shrimp and creamy macaroni croquette with lettuce on a bun (pictured).

The American chain also plays a different cultural role in Japan. While Americans often indulge in McDonald's for lunch or dinner, local Japanese diners come to the 'Golden Arches' between meals, to indulge in a quick snack and meetup with friends -- because locals don't eat a whole Big Mac by themselves!
