Gallery of log for Bucket List Achievement
Due to my love of many popular movies and TV shows, most of the items on my bucket list are based on visiting iconic filming locations so that I can jokingly replicate iconic scenes for the enjoyment of myself and many of my friends. In September last year, I ticked one of these bucket list items when I went to Europe for a school trip with many close friends - it still remains as the three best weeks of my life. While we were in Paris, the place that I wanted to visit the most was surprising not the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre or the Palace of Versailles - but was in fact a McDonald's resturant!
This is, of course, a reference to the fantastic Quentin Tarantino film - Pulp Fiction! Near the beginning of the film, John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson are two hitmen driving in a car while having a very intrieging conversation about the "little differences" between America and Europe. One of the funniest and most iconic differences topics addressed in the conversation was what they called a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris - because of the metric system, Travolta claimed that the French instead called it a "Royale with Cheese." This being one of many humourous and famous quotes from the film, I had to go to McDonald's in Paris to see it for myself!
When we walked into McDonald's on the first day, I went up to the counter and ordered a "Royal Cheese" - unfortunately, the burger did not have a title as cool as "Royale with Cheese," but it was close enough! After eating the burger and remarking Jackson's famous line, "hmm, this is a tasy burger," me and my teacher ate our burgers and filmed our own little parody of the Pulp Fiction conversation. The video is a special something between ourselves and my friends, however I have attached a photo of the "Royal Cheese" box that I took home back to Australia!
This was a great locationless cache that allowed me to feel nostalgic about the times that have passed - thanks Lazarus_68!
