I'm currently teaching a course on this subject and think it would be a great and entertaining example how TNCs alter their product to the local population. It would be great to interview the local McDonald's representative for his take on the situation. Do you have any contact information for Mr. Chew, I take it he is in Singapore. Maybe some of us on the outside could email him our inquiries. Chris Hi Smitty,

Wow, stereotypes at it's best. Penfold, write something. As I assumed, LB's have an outreageous bad reputation, probably cos we only meet them at Lower Sukhumvit. I also once had a violent encounter with one of them. I hope that mofo will rotten in hell. But just as with the Thai women, the hookers we usually encounter do not represent the majority of the good girls. Is it the same with the LB's? “Cartoonish encounters”, “penchant for mutilation and disguise”, “the dark side”, “destruction”. Wow, stereotypes at it’s best.

Take care! Do not go to the dark side... it is a path that can only lead to destruction of all you have built.
