Have It Your Way

So Saturday night, after having quite the previous Friday night, Isis and I met up with Carlos, the only other American I know in the Netherlands, and had a chill night.

After finally getting out of bed at about 6 p.m., we were starving. And I needed hang-over food. So we headed to the greasiest place I knew of (in Groningen) : Burger King!

I had yet to try this Burger King but had passed it numerous time in the Central Station. So I really had no idea what to expect, but was ready for disappointment. However, the #1 I ordered actually tasted familiar--minus that flat tasting Sprite with no ice in the cup. But still! I was so happy to finally find a taste reminiscent of home--no matter how cheap, unhealthy, unappetizing, "fast" the food may actually be!

While dining there, the music video for Party In the USA came on. ...And at that moment, sitting in a Burger King, mouth full of Whopper, listening to Miley Cyrus, I felt like an American once again--Though I can't say it was actually a good feeling listening to Miley Cyrus.... And at that moment I thought, "No wonder Europeans have such crazy views of people from the States!"


...The moral of the story: "Yay!" for a Burger King that actually taste like a Burger King I know and love! And "Boo!" for Miley Cyrus.
