In America, fast-food such as hamburgers, french fries, and cokes have become staple foods to American people. No matter the kids or adults, they love to eat fast-food frequently. Similarly, there are many fast-food restaurants in Taiwan, for example, McDonald's, Wendy's, and Burger King. However, the first time, when I walked into one of McDonald's in San Antonio with my friend, it really shocked us. Although they have the same name, there are great differences between San Antonio's McDonald's and Taipei's McDonald's. .

             The first difference between San Antonio's McDonald's and Taipei's McDonald's is the construction of the store. In San Antonio, the land is wide and large. Most McDonald's are established like houses and they are individual buildings. Inside the store, they usually have one floor and few seats for customers. However, because of limited space, some McDonald's in Taipei are combined with business companies or different stores in a building. The others are two or three-story individual buildings. Inside of McDonald's,they support a great quantity of seats.Second, the difference between San Antonio's McDonald's and Taipei's McDonald's is the inside of the environment. It is dirty and messy at McDonald's in San Antonio. The cups fall on the table and drink flows onto the floor. People leave their trash on the tables after they finish their meals. Thus, most people don't like to stay there for a while. In contrast, McDonald's in Taipei is clean and neat. It is usual to see the employees wipe the tables and chairs or mop the floor. People throw the trash into the trashcan after they .

             enjoy eating their meals. Therefore, people would like to spend their time there for a long time or even a whole day.
