Culture Clash: First impressions
This particular picture was taken in Machida, Japan, home of Obirin University and a suburb of Tokyo. What strikes me about KFC in Japan is that here it is luxury fast food. When I think KFC i think of a Georgian family sitting around the dinner table digging into the wings and legs while talking about the hot weather in a Southern accent. The Southeast of America and Japan have nearly nothing in common, yet they both share KFC. Even more surprising is to see a large sculpture of Colonel Sanders standing proudly in front of each KFC. This particular aspect made me wonder if the Japanese either have a respect for the founder of KFC or are perhaps they treat him like trademark character and he is what Pikachu is to the Pokemon Corporation.
