McDonald’s is now in Vietnam

I didn't realise that McDonald’s is new to Vietnam. Apparently it only arrived in early 2014.

I was in Ho Chi Minh City in Feb, and I took a photo of a roundabout with lots of bikes, and later realised that in my photo is a McDonald’s.

The franchise has been given to Henry Nguyen, a Vietnam-American businessman who is the son-in-law of the Prime Minister.

On the same day I posted this blog, I read that Malaysia is the 3rd cheapest place to buy a Big Mac.  It comes in 3rd after India and South Africa . See report in The New Straits Times , 15 Feb 2014.
