What exactly is "Where's Thundar?"

Welcome to the 2011-2012 edition of the well-known game "Where's Waldo?" here at North Dakota State University. To make things a bit more stylish and suited towards our student body, this blog is built around the international trips currently offered, hence our title "Where's Thundar?" It follows the unique and memorable experiences of current college students traveling to Western Europe through the NDSU Center for Global Initiatives. We will describe where we've been and where we're going, as well as ways you can get involved with this great opportunity to see your world.

Who says Thundar can't get a bite to eat at McDonalds?!?!

Our dear friend Thundar was ready to try a little something that looked familiar from home. He came upon the much recognized golden arches. His taste buds were in search for some fries and a burger and he came upon his norm in Antwerp, Belgium. No bison burger for this guy, the smell of those golden fries lured him in.

After his excitement he then began to realize McDonalds has quite a worldwide presence in today’s society. McDonalds serves its famous fast food all over the world; with more then 33,000 global locations located in over 119 different countries. After eating the famous “fritas’ he was not quite accustomed to the way the Belgians decided to eat them. Mayonnaise is a common topping on fries to the Belgians, Thundar gave it a try but ketchup will always be his number one choice. Not only do McDonalds tailor to the Belgians mayonnaise condiment, but in countries like India where pork and beef are not even on the menu. After his meal he realized every McDonalds has there own way of serving to the many different cultures and Thundar was just simply happy to have gotten his “fry fix”.

NDSU's Center for Global Initiatives studied abroad  for five weeks this Fall, and they took Thundar to many wonderful places across Europe. Wouldn't you want to join them this Summer '12??
