There is more to this world than McDonalds and Taco Bell in the States....
Oh please. You can't throw a rock in Dubai without hitting a fast food joint, it's disgusting. It's the world capital of obesity and Type 2 diabetes. For a region that likes to blame the "Evil West" for all of their ills, they've sure picked up the torch and run with it when it comes to junk culture. If I was American I'd move to Dubai just so I could feel thin and healthy...by comparison.
For those picking on the original poster's lack of knowledge, having worked with EK's much-vaunted multicultural workforce, I can safely say that Americans have no monopoly on ignorance about anything outside of their borders. Most EK cabin crew wouldn't recognize anything outside of a shopping mall.
Just saying'.
