Gallery of log for Bucket List Achievement

11-Dec-16
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! Clan Cerberus
