Absolute worst "Mexican" food I've ever had, was at a Tex-Mex place in France.

My local coworkers knew I was from Texas and figured I might be missing my local cuisine.  They basically forced me to go to this place.  The restaurant served me fajitas cooked rare.  Oh France, don't ever change.

On the other hand, the Vietnamese food in France is incredible.

I guess I would tire of bistro food at some point, it might be a while.  There was a place in Copenhagen called Frenchy that was excellent.

In the US, French restaurants generally try to be high end something rather than bistro like.  We have all sorts of ethnic cuisine near us and not a single bistro type place, not one.  Modestly priced Thai, Korean, Mex, Greek, Japanese, Indian, Italian, Vietnamese, South American, Chinese, Persian ... zero French.

And of course there is soul, Southern, BBQ, etc.

I tired of French bistro food at every lunch and dinner for 3 months, for sure.  Similarly I am sure that I'd tire of American "cafe'" food every meal for three months here in the US, as well.

But the weekly trips to McDonald's were less about the food itself and more about keeping in touch with something familiar.  It was also way faster than eating anywhere in France and although I love the more leisurely pace of dining in Europe, sometimes the American in me just wants to get it done and get on to the next thing.

And also keep in mind, most of these meals, I was eating by myself.  A couple of lunches or dinners during the week with local coworkers, but for the most part on the weekends, they were off doing their thing with their families, and I was a lone American in an unfamiliar place.

I was checking into going to Japan, and if I read correctly, they require a 14 quarantine after arriving, no matter what.

Only the Euros would tax Americans for visiting

I think we should reply in turn

We've started preliminary planning for a Europe trip next year.  Budapest, Croatia, and Greece are on the itinerary.

But this additional $7 fee might put the kibosh on that!

It's not the $7 that concerns me.

I've known this guy for a long time. Done a lot of work together. He's a good dood.
