London, United Kingdom

Hello!

I hope you all had great vacations period in dreamland places. Mine were great and sunny! I also hope you had the chance to take some pictures so we can continue our journey.

Leonor, a friend of mine from Portugal, has traveled a bit and she sent me the first picture from a McDonald's restaurant in the United Kingdom. And what a great way to start visiting the land of Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II, starting right from the heart of it, London.

The picture she sent me is from the famous road junction, know as Piccadilly Circus.



I know it might seem that this is the wrong blog for this picture and that Sanyo will be very happy for it. But I like pictures to which you can look and guess the place where they were taken.

For those of you with some difficulties in identifying the McDonald's restaurant I've made an helping drawing.



See you in the next post. Send me your pictures!

Geneva, Switzerland

The Eurocup 2008 is over, congratulations to Spain, but the pictures of the event will last for ever. More so in the minds of people, specially the ones who lived it closer.

I still remember Eurocup 2004 here in Portugal, the party, the people in the streets, the football, and unfortunately I also remember the final which Portugal lost against Greece. But that's life.

Anyway back to the point, this time the leap is small, we jump from Munich to Geneva in Switzerland.

This picture was taken by a flight attendant friend of mine who was in Geneva during the Eurocup. In the picture, besides the quite big McDonald's restaurant, we can see some traces of the Eurocup, specially the people with Portugal's national team t-shirts on the left.

It must have been some amazing days in Geneva.

Keep sending your photos!

Munich, Germany

After a small visit to Portugal we go back to the center of Europe, and for the third time to Germany, namely to Munich.

And I'm very pleased because this was also sent by e-mail, this time by Marta Boaventura, from Portugal.

Once again the McDonald's restaurant is really close to a Burger King restaurant, but from the picture it seems that McDonald's cares more about their image.

I really like the balloons on the top of the entrance.

Edit: This restaurant is located in the "Tal Street", near Marienplatz. And guess what, was taken specially for this blog!


Thank you Marta for this contribution!

Don't be shy and send your photos, and you can even add some small text that I will put in the post, tell us a story, tell us a bit about why did you take the picture, share!

See you around!

Évora, Portugal

We now go back to Europe, and finally to Portugal. As a Portuguese fan of McDonald's it's strange not having any picture of a restaurant in Portugal. But this will be corrected now.

João Alves from Portugal sent me a picture of a restaurant in the city of Évora, a beautiful city in the south center of Portugal, in the region of Alentejo. Évora is well know by its Roman Temple, the temple of Diana built in the first century.

The picture sent by João is not awesome, I guess it was taken with a mobile phone, but since it's the first from Portugal I think it is worthy to be shown here.

Hong Kong, China

For the first time since this journey begun we are going outside Europe. And this is not a small leap, we are going to Hong Kong, one special administrative region of People's Republic of China, which is 9988,01 kilometers from Toulouse where we were before.

The first picture was taken inside a Shopping Center in the city, but the sender didn't tell the name of the place.

And the second picture is from one advertisement of some new McDonald's product, it sure looks tasty.
The photos were sent from a friend of mine who has been on vacations in Hong Kong, but not only friends of mine can participate on this journey, you also can! Do it, mail me your photos!

See you around the world.

Toulouse, France

After going to Spain we are back to France. Namely to Toulouse.

This picture was sent by José Mário Branco, from Portugal, and it is from the McDonald's near the Capitole of Toulouse.



Keep sending your photos! Let's go around the world faster!

Barcelona, Spain

From Denmark to Spain, more precisely to Barcelona.

This picture was sent by a friend of mine that has been in Barcelona. It is from a McDonald's located in La Rambla a very famous place in Barcelona.

Don't miss it if you go there!
