Last Third of PhotoadayMay

I am taking a picture each day in May, for an online photo challenge. Here are the final eleven days of May's contest. For each, I am digging up an old photo for each day's inspiration as well. My first ten days and second ten are available for viewing as well. Finally, a slide show of the entire month's photos.

American Fast Food Abroad

One of the things I found interesting about traveling last year are the differences in American fast food chains when they are opened in other countries. Consider this bit of dialog from the 90's movie Pulp Fiction:

Jules: You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with cheese in France?
Brett: No.
Jules: Tell 'em, Vincent.
Vincent: A Royale with cheese.
Jules: A Royale with cheese! You know why they call it that?
Brett: Because of the metric system?
Jules: Check out the big brain on Brett!

Bangalore in the UK

Random spotting of "Bangalore" in Bromham, originally uploaded by s_w_ellis.

Random flickr photo blog entry for October 5, 2009.

So, there we were, in a rental car, cruising the English countryside. When we felt it was a good time to stop for a bite to eat, we found ourselves in the small town of Bromham.

The restaurant/pub we ate at was up the street from a church. To help digestion and to stretch our legs a bit, we visited the church and inside my eye caught "Bangalore". We traveled five thousand miles west from Bangalore, just to find Bangalore!
