I think if I were traveling in a foreign country on business, bad local imitations of my native cuisine would not be what I'd want for lunch: I would want excellent examples of the local foods.

So there is leftover Chinese food in the staff kitchen since we have a group here from a Chinese company. It's not "bad Chinese", it's reasonably decent American neighborhood Chinese food - but I am not from China.

Then again, I do remember being in Paris with other American high school students, who were desperate for McDonald's.

I can't remember if it's when he's dealing with the clients from Korea, India or both... but whenever he's over there... they want to go out to eat at restaurants that serve local food. Whenever they're over here, they want to go to restaurants serving food that's like the local food where they come from. He says he wishes he could just have something he considers familiar.
