It was in Polanco (rich part of the city). Back then McDonalds was a novelty and only rich people went there. Now of course there are McDonalds all over the place in Mexico City and everyone goes there. Seeing this little McDonalds inside the\u00a0subway station however made me laugh. I haven&#8217;t been to every subway station in the USA, but I bet you wont find this in the\u00a0USA.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Not a cultural post, but I don&#8217;t really consider myself that much of a cultural tourist. For some reason when Americans travel abroad we are\u00a0put down\u00a0if we don&#8217;t follow the &#8220;cultured&#8221; activities, but I never really understood that thought. I don&#8217;t drink and I don&#8217;t\u00a0I\u00a0don&#8217;t go clubbing. I have however shopped many times at foreign Walmarts and I bought some chicken McNuggets for AJ today. \u00a0I am kind of torn on this issue. I don&#8217;t want to be seen as the &#8220;Ugly American&#8221; but at the same time I am on\u00a0\u00a0vacation and want to do be free to do whatever I can (legally of course).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I remember when I was about 12 years old the first McDonalds came to Mexico City.
