Is there fast food, McDonalds etc. in China?
As a general rule, around 80 percent of participants will really like the Chinese food. It is cheap and very varied, but some consider it a little spicy, or too oily (expect a meal for 1 to 3 Euros in a typical restaurant). Previously, we have tried to order lunch to the apartments (or have someone cook for us in the apartments), for around 2 Euro / meal. If you don’t like the Chinese food, there is always McDonalds, KFC and Pizza Hut. The Big Mac index is less than 1/2 (that is, the price of a Big Mac is less than half of the US or European price) but Pizza Hut and other pizza places often have similar prices to the US. In the evening, meat sticks (shish-kebab) are sold in the streets and nice with a cool beer before bed time.
