It does happen in Japan - 7....

McDonald's Episode.....

1. Russet Burbank, Pentland Dell & Shepody
2. McCain’s
3. Non-hydrogenated blend of sun-flower and rapeseed oil.

Life’s inquisitive geeks would have forged a relation between the three by now. And for the rest, this is something about one of your favourite mouth-watering dishes called the McDonald’s French fries.
Russet Burbank, Pentland Dell & Shepody are the type of potatoes used for the making of French-fries, McCain’s is the outlet that makes and supplies French-fries to McD. Non-hydrogenated blend of sun-flower oil and rapeseed oil is the oil used in the making of French-fries.
Except for some kind of an inquisitive general knowledge, it doesn’t matter. After all, it is all potatoes fried in oil. But, see the magnitude of profit, McDonald’s is generating by this one simple dish. Tremendous. The McDonald’s share of profit earned through French-fries is way above the share earned through hamburgers. Howsoever it may be, it is delicious. Wow. I am loving it.” (pchewk pchewk pchewk), I was enjoying the taste of French-fries sitting alone on a corner table of Takatsuka McD with eyes half-closed and with some weird thoughts on French-fries’ history and lot more. Even more enticing was the fact that the French-fries (L) size is in for an offer-price of just 150¥ instead of a whopping 290¥ just for the month of March (Reason, though not sure, probably could be that McD should have earned a lump sum amount of money and now might have been experimenting the influence on the sales figures by bringing down the price by about 50%).
Sou iu koto desu ka? Wakarimashita. Ja, mata (Is it so? Oh. Ok fine. See you later)” uttered a voice so typical of a Japanese girl. I, getting used to the words and the voice over the last 3.5 months, continued concentrating on my French-fries (L-version) with eyes still half closed.
With the quantity of the French-fries on the plate dwindling with every bite, I, making my eyes clear by expanding the retina, started to raise from my seat (with a few pieces still left on the plate) when my eyes met somebody who immediately reached my dream-book of ”Top 10 girls in life whom I have seen with my naked eyes, whose faces, I admire” and who was sitting alone in a table, just infront of me. I settled back on my seat again to consume the last few pieces of French-fries that was left (Was that the reason?) on my plate, this time with much less speed of consumption and busy eyes.
With every organ in her face being perfectly positioned and aligned in symmetry, the LHS of her face forming an un-erring mirror image of the RHS of her face, with a terrific little smile, (she, infact, was doing that to me. As I have already mentioned, one can hardly see Japanese girls being shy and reserved), a dimple on both her cheeks, brown eyes, symmetrically combed hair, a typical Japanese out-fit, with everything being good about her, I was sitting totally defeated for a while when I noted her waving her hand at me. With an impinging sense of shock, instead of waving her back, I delved into the reasons for why was she waving. Japanese girls, as I have already made a mention, never turn their heads away on seeing foreigners, instead they approach them, at times and talk to them. (these girls are probably equipped with kung-fu skills for their self-defence right from their school days, in case of any mis-happening that they might confront). This could have been one of the reasons and the major one could have been that since I was admiring her without taking my eyes away, she must have done that to deviate my attention.
She continued to smile at me and I continued to admire her face, when suddenly I was blinded off by a striking red colour T-shirt with a one-liner written on the back of it “Only idiots are greedy for more in life” sign on it. Huh! It was a guy. He sat infront of her on the same table, showing his back to me, placing down all the burgers, French-fries and coffee on it. I disposed off my plate and started to leave and noted that she was still smiling at me (Might be, she would have narrated my staring episode to the man in-front. No. She would not have. She never looked like one. And, the man too never attempted to look at me. She would not have). I opened the door, stepped outside to see who the other man was. He was no way resembling to this girl, so he must have been her boy-friend. But, he looked a typical idiot. The one-liner suited him the most.
I, unable to resist, opened the McD door again, stepped inside, went near her table. The man looked all shocked but the girl never looked shocked. “Kimi wa totemo kirei desu. Watashi wa kimi no kao ga sukii nan desu. (You look very beautiful. I like your face a lot)” – I uttered and stepped outside to see both their reactions. But, decided the note the man’s reaction first. The man stared at me like an owl staring at the prey. The girl smiled and waved her hand at me again. I was lost.
