yep.. best thing about that airport is the restaurant there. I often call in for a feed if I'm passing by.
Was at Gimpo airport recently. They do have one fusion restaurant that offers sandwiches, the rest are mostly corean style food halls. Western food is limited to a Lotteria.
However they do have a starbucks and several other joints. |

(in the voice of Homer Simpson) Ummm . . Egg McMuffin (insert salivating icon here)
An Egg McMuffin . . . my one weakness; my cryptonite.
You have planted it in my mind; I'll be driving out there one early morning to have one, or two, or . .

Great...have some crap Mc'Dees and then get on a flight and have some crap airplane food. Being jet lag is hard enough after a flight, having my guts turn because its full of schizen isnt my typical ideal way to travel. I will pass on Ron's and stick to fruit and water before I travel.

I said it once before, got attacked, so I'll say it again: McDonald's is nasty. You are either ignorant or apathetic if you eat it unless nothing else is around. Lotteria doesn't count, that's just as sick.
McDonald's factoids
1. McDonald's spends more on advertising than any other brand in the world.
2. It runs more playgrounds than any other private entity in the world.
3. It gives away more toys than any other private entity in the world.
4. The Golden Arches are more widely known in the world today than the Christian cross.
5. Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonald's said this: "We have found that we cannot trust some people who are nonconformists. We will make conformists out of them in a hurry. The organization cannot trust the individual; the individual must trust the organization."
6. The vast majority of workers at McDonald's lack full-time employment, do not have any benefits, have no or little control over their workplace, and quit after a few months.
7. The average American now consumes three hamburgers and four orders of french fries per week.
8. Due in part to the industrialization of agriculture driven by the fast- food industry, the United States is losing farmers so fast that it now has more prisoners than farmers.
9. Every month, 90 percent of the children between 3 and 9 in America visit a McDonald's.
10. In a survey of 9 and 10-year-olds, half of them said they thought that Ronald McDonald knew best what kids should eat. In China, kids said that Ronald McDonald was kind, funny, gentle and understood children's hearts.
11. McDonald's uses a computer program called Quintillion that uses satellite imagery, GPS maps and demographic tables to automatically site new restaurants. As one observer noted, McDonald's uses the same equipment developed during the Cold War to spy on their customers.
12. McDonald's jobs have been purposely de-skilled so as to be able to hire minimum-wage workers on an interchangeable basis. One-third of fast-food workers speak no English.
13. McDonald's and other chains are aiming for automated equipment that will require zero training and are nearly there. Nevertheless, they fight hard to retain hundreds of millions of dollars of government subsidies for "training" their workers. A worker has only to work for 400 hours for the chain to receive its $2,400 subsidy. In essence, the American taxpayer subsidizes low wages, automation and turnover at fast-food chains.
14. Fast-food pays a higher proportion of minimum wage to its workers than any other industry in America.
15. McDonald's is the largest purchaser of beef in the world.
16. McDonald's buys from five large meatpackers. These companies have gained a stranglehold over the industry (just as in potatoes) that has driven down prices. Over the past 20 years, 500,000 cattle ranchers have gone out of business. Over that time, the rancher's share of every beef dollar has fallen from 63 cents to 46 cents.
17. To satisfy and take advantage of the worldwide growth of fast-food, the large chicken and beef packers in the United States are buying out local companies all around the world. Cargill, IBP and Tyson's control the world meat industry because of fast-food chains.
18. Chicken McNuggets were also cooked in beef tallow until public outrage caused McDonald's to stop. Even in vegetable oil, Chicken McNuggets contain twice the fat per ounce as a hamburger.
19. Every time you eat a hamburger, you are eating anabolic steroids, antibiotics and fecal matter. You can read it again. And it will still be true.
20. Feedlot cattle are also given shredded packaging, cardboard boxes, cement and sawdust to put on weight.
21. In 1991, only four states had obesity rates of 15 percent or higher. Today, 37 states do. Fifty million Americans are obese or super obese. Obesity is second only to smoking as a cause of mortality in America today.
22. The annual health costs to America stemming from obesity are $240 billion. The costs are exactly double fast-food chain revenues.
23. Between 1984 and 1993, the number of fast-food restaurants doubled in Great Britain. Obesity doubled there over the same period.
24. The EU found that 95 percent of the ads there encouraged kids to eat foods high in sugar, salt and fat. The company running the most ads aimed at children was McDonald's.

But the egg McMuffin is so good. 
Seriously, it is the only thing I eat from McD's. I generally don't eat any kind of fast food. Simply not attracted to it; that is, it is not appealing to me. The Egg McMuffin appeals because it brings back memories of early mornings, hunting season (yep, I'm a Bambi killer) as a kid. The local McD's would open early - - 4:00 a.m. with breakfast items, and it was always two EggMcMuffins for me. A similar sandwich can be had in Malaysian McD's: a McEgg . . . an egg similar to that on an Egg McMuffin, ketchup and onions; once again, an early morning treat for me, this time as a break from clubbing.
Beyond this, . . . yeah, I would basically agree that McD's is not such a great place on many fronts. |

The dude just wanted an egg mcmuffin. He wasn't looking to save the world, Superman. Geez.
1. McDonald's spends more on advertising than any other brand in the world.
So what?
2. It runs more playgrounds than any other private entity in the world.
That's not a good thing? Oh they're in stores? Parents are free to bring their children to public parks too. Ah choice.
3. It gives away more toys than any other private entity in the world.
My nephew always loved the little toys. Toys for children are not good things?
4. The Golden Arches are more widely known in the world today than the Christian cross.
McDonald's has never asked anyone to shoot an abortion doctor. I don't see a problem here. (And where does this stat come from? Proof?)
5. Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonald's said this: "We have found that we cannot trust some people who are nonconformists. We will make conformists out of them in a hurry. The organization cannot trust the individual; the individual must trust the organization."
That's life in a big company that tries to deliver a uniform product in every spot on the globe. Boo hoo. Don't like conformity, go get a job in a hippy bookstore.
6. The vast majority of workers at McDonald's lack full-time employment, do not have any benefits, have no or little control over their workplace, and quit after a few months.
Yeah, it's a part time job for youths. I didn't get benefits as a paperboy. If the economy is only turning out Mcjobs and adults have to take these jobs to make ends meet, don't blame McDonalds. Blame the government.
7. The average American now consumes three hamburgers and four orders of french fries per week.
Despite every day being bombarded with daily warnings about the health effects of fat. People are making a free, informed choice. Sorry we've created a society where people make bad ones. Freedom is the right to be stupid.
8. Due in part to the industrialization of agriculture driven by the fast- food industry, the United States is losing farmers so fast that it now has more prisoners than farmers.
Has farming ever been a massively profitable business? At some point, you look at the numbers: I'm sitting on $2 million worth of land OR I could go on making $20K a year given good weather.
9. Every month, 90 percent of the children between 3 and 9 in America visit a McDonald's.
We should have laws!
10. In a survey of 9 and 10-year-olds, half of them said they thought that Ronald McDonald knew best what kids should eat. In China, kids said that Ronald McDonald was kind, funny, gentle and understood children's hearts.
Where are their stupid parents? Will not eating an egg mcmuffin prevent parents from being stupid?
11. McDonald's uses a computer program called Quintillion that uses satellite imagery, GPS maps and demographic tables to automatically site new restaurants. As one observer noted, McDonald's uses the same equipment developed during the Cold War to spy on their customers.
OHHHHHHH! Scary! Cold war spy stuff! Market research. So what?
12. McDonald's jobs have been purposely de-skilled so as to be able to hire minimum-wage workers on an interchangeable basis. One-third of fast-food workers speak no English.
Yes. That's why the food is cheap. That's why people buy the food. McDonald's didn't start it. White Castle started the process.
13. McDonald's and other chains are aiming for automated equipment that will require zero training and are nearly there. Nevertheless, they fight hard to retain hundreds of millions of dollars of government subsidies for "training" their workers. A worker has only to work for 400 hours for the chain to receive its $2,400 subsidy. In essence, the American taxpayer subsidizes low wages, automation and turnover at fast-food chains.
Why does the American tax payer return these politicians to office then?
14. Fast-food pays a higher proportion of minimum wage to its workers than any other industry in America.
Cool. It's a first job for youths.
15. McDonald's is the largest purchaser of beef in the world.
So McDonald's is good to farmers? I thought a few points up there McDonald's was satan to the family farm...
16. McDonald's buys from five large meatpackers. These companies have gained a stranglehold over the industry (just as in potatoes) that has driven down prices. Over the past 20 years, 500,000 cattle ranchers have gone out of business. Over that time, the rancher's share of every beef dollar has fallen from 63 cents to 46 cents.
So this is really a beef with the meat packing industry.
17. To satisfy and take advantage of the worldwide growth of fast-food, the large chicken and beef packers in the United States are buying out local companies all around the world. Cargill, IBP and Tyson's control the world meat industry because of fast-food chains.
So that poor farmer eking out 20K a year gets a lump sum offer of $2 mil on his land and he retires to Florida. OH GOD THIS IS SO UNFAIR!
18. Chicken McNuggets were also cooked in beef tallow until public outrage caused McDonald's to stop. Even in vegetable oil, Chicken McNuggets contain twice the fat per ounce as a hamburger.
Wow, you go to McDonald's you're going to eat meat or things cooked in meat. Say it ain't friggen so! And something deep fried in batter actually has fat. This can't be true. There's chicken in ther some place!
19. Every time you eat a hamburger, you are eating anabolic steroids, antibiotics and fecal matter. You can read it again. And it will still be true.
Every time you eat rice or carrots or kimchi you eat parasites, rat hairs, etc. Yes, all our food is tainted. That's why the FDA and organizations like that determine safe levels.
20. Feedlot cattle are also given shredded packaging, cardboard boxes, cement and sawdust to put on weight.
So what?
21. In 1991, only four states had obesity rates of 15 percent or higher. Today, 37 states do. Fifty million Americans are obese or super obese. Obesity is second only to smoking as a cause of mortality in America today.
Then they should stop eating at McDonald's every other day. I see nothing wrong with having a burger once a week at any fast food joint.
22. The annual health costs to America stemming from obesity are $240 billion. The costs are exactly double fast-food chain revenues.
Then they should stop eating at McDonald's every other day. I see nothing wrong with having a burger once a week at any fast food joint.
23. Between 1984 and 1993, the number of fast-food restaurants doubled in Great Britain. Obesity doubled there over the same period.

24. The EU found that 95 percent of the ads there encouraged kids to eat foods high in sugar, salt and fat. The company running the most ads aimed at children was McDonald's.
My god, I bet 100% of coke ads encourage kids to drink fluids high in sugar.

Bloody hell.
I've only had McDonald's once in the last six years, and then only because it was the only thing open in the business district on a weekend (back home).
It should be noted hamburgers can be very nutritious. Just not the version most people eat.
Mmmmmmmmmmm. There's nothing better than a proper (low-fat) Australian hamburger. |
