We thought we would be able to get in, get out no problem. We even thought that our stomachs wouldn't get upset. Don't worry, this isn't a story about us getting sick.
We walk into Burger King and realized everyone in Vienna speaks German. And they have all the right to assume we speak German too. Only problem is, for some odd reason, we thought because we were at Burger King, that ordering would be easy. "Its all in English." That was partly true.
The menu options were in English, the cashiers spoke German. So, it was far more difficult for my classmates to order their Whoppers.
After a small game of "what to say that makes sense" we all successfully ordered our food. We felt so accomplished. The food, of course tasted a bit different. And the mannerisms of fast food in America is very different. In a fast food restaurant in America, when a person is done with their meal they clean up after themselves and move their tray to the trash area. In Vienna, a Burger King employee does it for you.
I felt so rude leaving my tray and trash on the table. It was just such a strange experience for us. However, eating fast food over seas is an experience i would recommend. Sometimes its nice to have something familiar in an unfamiliar place.
