Jamaica immune from McDonald's

in Israel. While it seems like the golden
arches are everywhere, 98 countries aren't "lovin' it."
According to the corporate web site, Mickey D's has restaurants in 119
countries. But Ronald and pals don't name each country. Wikipedia lists
97 countries with franchises and notes that McDonald's may count "many
non-sovereign territories" as different countries.

So where can't you get a Happy Meal? As this map shows, most of Africa
and Central Asia is short on super-sized fries. We compared the
countries that have McD franchises to the U.S. State Department's list
of independent states to compile this list of places that don't
currently have a McDonald's:

Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Armenia,
Bangladesh, Barbados, Belize, Benin, Bhutan, Bolivia, Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burma, Burundi, Cambodia,

of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, C=F4te d'Ivoire,

A few years back I was on a plane from Negril to Kingston and was talking to a
guy who worked for McDonald's in a management capacity in Jamaica. So, I was
surprised to see this post. Turns out McDonald's just exited the island within
the last year:

McDonald's leaving Jamaica

McDonald's, the American fast-food giant which came to Jamaica a decade ago,
will be closing its eight restaurants and exit the local market, having failed
to find a suitable franchisee for the operation here.

Four of the restaurants are located in Kingston, while the others, including a
mobile unit in St Ann's Bay, are in rural towns.I'm thinking about using one of the websites on the Sunsplash Site to order
a ticket. I did get a response from Russell Gerlach which I thought was
pretty cool.

>Yeah. Ralph is out of NC. Wicked Bassie, and SINGS as well as plays. He's
putting on a Reggae Show next Saturday in Chapel Hill at the Wetlands. I
made a post about it a couple days ago. I'll be there.
