There were many surprises on this trip. One of which was how many American franchises there were in Russia but mostly in Turkey. My favorite one had to have been Popeye's. My family lived on the East coast for a while and one of our favorite places to eat had to be Popeye's. And now when ever we go back east we always make it a tradition to go to Popeye's and get Cajun fires and fried chicken. It surprised me that most of the food courts that we went to had a Popeye's, along with at least a dozen other American franchises. 
There were also many other franchises there were countless McDonald's, Burger King's, Sbarro, Starbucks, Popeye's, Dunkin Donuts, and even Papa John's. This was very interesting because while there were many American franchises there were not many other similar types of franchises there. It was crazy because where ever we went I never found the same Turkish resturants. It appeared to me that there were no Turkish franchises. It was very similar in Russia. All of the resturants that were the same were American franchises. It was hard for me to think that the there were no foregin resturants that were franchised.
The thing that surprised me the most was that the only one of these American franchises that I saw advertise hard core was McDonalds, (remember the Golden Escelator) now we really didn't get newspapers or watch too much TV but the most advertising I saw for these other franchises were all on the windows of the shops, not much else.
