I worked at a Pizza Hut in the United States for just about a year. It wasn't the greatest of jobs, but it could've been a ton worse. Bad job but good people kind of thing. In America though, I would put Pizza Hut just a notch (maybe two in some places) over the typical fast food place. Our food is typically better than that McDonalds, and you wait just a bit longer for it too.
In China, as it turns out, Pizza Hut is a legit dining experience. Four or five stars. People open the door for you when you come in, all the servers are dressed really nicely. Everyone has a big 'Customer Maniac' button on their uniform and they all seem legitimately excited to see you. And you can get specialty fruit drinks. And wine. And its really, really clean.
(I will note here, that the pictures are bad and/or blurry because it seems like the kind of nice resturant that would get mad at me for getting up and taking pictures of everything. I was trying to be discrete.)
We got a Hawaiian Pizza. Fairly typical. But you know what we could have gotten? Steak. Or Popcorn Chicken or Shrimp pizza. Or Tiramisu. Or delicious-looking coffee things.
Look at how many tabs this menu has:
Wow, I wish there was an easy way for me to resize that. But whatever. Pizza is just one tab. And its not even the entree tab (that is where the steak is). China is a crazy place. I like to think that the Sylva Pizza Hut was a pretty nice place...but it really has nothing on the one in Changchun.
Though, if it means anything, the pizza really wasn't that good. Just...alright.
I should probably talk more about teaching in this blog, rather than the weird stuff I find over here.
Or maybe not,
