i'm assuming everyone here loves McDonald's. :]

my japanese friend who just transferred here a few months ago, i called her and was like, "hey, do you like McDonald's?" and she was like, "What's McDonald's?" and i know for a fact that there are McDonald's in Tokyo. Well, after trying to explain it, she figured out what I meant and said, "OHHH!, MAKU!"

Apparently, in Japan, the food they make is smaller. ;_; No Big Mac's, sorry! Hawhaw. :]

I think it's funny that American phrases become trendy overseas. I once saw a picture of a beatiful Japanese girl proudly walking down the streets with a shirt that proclaimed, "F*** YOU" on the chest. Uncensored, of course.

It's no different from Americans wearing shirts with random kanji on them. Do you have any idea what that says? You could be insulting someone's mother.

yeep. "your mother." that's actually really a scary thought. when i was little i used to write made-up "kanji" and stuff. (of course, not knowing it was kanji.. well.. not to say it was kanji.. it couldn't been anything, like.. miss-l-anji.. @_@;; er, yeah. you get the point.)

Makudonarudo (マクドナルド) is what it is called in Japan.
Japanese people like to shorten it, so they call it Maku (マク).

I guess the ganguro style can be based off the preppy girl look, dying their black hair bright blonde and tanning alot. *shrugs*

Ha ha. My boyfriend is from Kyushu, and he has a picture on his myspace of a cheeseburger from Japanese "maku" stacked up pretty high. XDD

Starbucks is also popular there, but according to Rei-kun, the sizes are smaller and more expensive. And he prefers the american starbucks flavors than Japanese. XD
