Actually, it's not funny at all.
I spent three weeks in Japan a few years ago on a business trip. For
breakfast and lunch I wandered the streets and ate what I found that
looked interesting. ("ichi" means one, if you point at something and
say "ichi", you'll get one of them. I don't know the names of half of
what I ate.)
For dinner, (usually after 9:00 PM when I got back to my hotel), I ate
at McDonalds. It was food that I knew my stomach would recognize,
and I'd be able to sleep. It was important that I sleep and be rested
in the morning, since I was working 14 hour days.
I found that I could deal with an upset stomach during the day while I
was moving around and could visit the bathroom if necessary, but I
really needed to be comfortable at night to get enough sleep.
I certainly won't reccommend fast food to other travellers, but on that
trip McDonalds made my life liveable.
