    I'm absolutely amazed at the size of that place and it's so clean. It's bigger than a train station! The cost of your meal would be $4.98, in Canada that combo would cost more like $15.00 and up. The food choices are much more healthy than what we get here but that burger sure looks like a Big Mac. Whoever thought up that logo should be given a bonus. Mickey D's should take note of the improvements the new owners have made. And the book, what a wonderful way to entertain kids instead of letting them run riot in the restaurant.

One of which, for example, is a Window to Moscow, where a guy just walks around and shows different places in Moscow without words and without music. All the comments of foreigners are completely amazing and enthusiastic.
      But there are still a huge number of interesting places in Russia with a rich history, culture and architecture. Clean and beautiful. St. Petersburg, Yaroslavl, Astrakhan, Sochi, Kazan, Baikal, Caucasus, Crimea, Yalta, Sevastopol, Suzdal, Tver, Volgograd (Stalingrad), etc., etc. Welcome, come. We are always glad to have friends and just good people!

      In order to get a true impression of the country, it is best to come. And if there is no opportunity yet, then at least get acquainted with independent channels. For example, a Window to Moscow. Without words, without music, walking. But, the impressions are exciting. Clean, beautiful, safe, comfortable and thoughtful. And for a general impression of Russia, you can watch the video in English Top 30 Largest Cities in Russia. Or type "epic cities of Russia". Welcome to Russia.

They ate McDonald's almost every day and twice daily on weekends. $40 for 3 people for one meal. Their food expenditure was almost $2000/month, half her take-home pay. Most people here spend about 25% of their take-home pay on food, not 50%. They got into debt very badly.
