You know what they call a quarter pounder in Paris? A Royale with Cheese.

They had staff constantly cleaning the restaurant and even had a guy standing guard with a broom and dust pan who would walk up and immediately sweep up any fries that fall on the ground. There must have been 30 people working in the place.

Croatia's McDonald's was interesting as well because it had like 10 different salad options, many different chicken options (lemon chicken for one), and breakfast sandwiches with pork belly instead of bacon that we are used to. They also had croquettes and huge variety of dipping sauces.

I seem to recall seeing deep fried prawns at a McDonald's somewhere in Europe as well, Amsterdam maybe? I totally forget where it was.
The Ebi (prawn) Burger at the Japanese McDonald's were amazing and probably my favorite. I also remember Thailand McDonald's having really awesome fresh fruit drinks.

Glastonbury is like Woodstock right? I'm amazed a crowd that large can sing the words that clearly.

I'm not sure what you mean by "like woodstock". Woodstock was a one time festival that brought out almost every famous major recording artist in 1969, and then had a reboot in 1994 and a hilariously awful third attempt in 1999.

Glastonbury is a 53 year old annual festival. More like a coachella or rock am ring. They have awesome line ups and 90-100k people on the grounds each day, but nothing like what woodstock tried to do in bringing in a stunning amount of the words top artists to the point where normally headlining acts were playing at like noon.

Or more like everything else is like Glastonbury or aspires to be. Some surprisingly good choreography from the security team.

I just want to know if he was part of the line-up or if he is real-life Rick Rolling.

That is awesome.

It helps that for the first 7 years of my daughter's life that was her favorite song.

I love when artist do covers or play instruments you don't immediately assume they will.
