◆ Fried chicken
Speaking of flight chicken in Japan "Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC)" is famous but I did not see it in Guatemala. However, there seems to be a store in the capital. On behalf of Kernel Sanders' uncle, a cute chicken mascot chain shop was crowded with Guatemala.

I often saw "Pollolandia"


"Pollo Express"


"Pockey" with the same spelling as Japanese sweets


"SUPER CHAPINCITO" in local cities Xalapa.


"POLLO GRANJERO" in the same building as the hotel I stayed at


In these stores fried chicken and potatoes are in the hot showcase. Set menus are easy to understand, but there were shops where orders can be ordered separately. Spanish chicken feet (drums) are Piella, chicken wings are ara and the difference in price is also. I put it in my car in front of the storetortillaIt was a sight that I saw frequently in Guatemala that a girlfriend lady who sells is sitting.

A chicken walking through the streets in the game "The Legend of Zelda" is a scenery of reality when it is overseas. I want to tamper with each other like a game, but when I do it in reality I will refrain from being attacked by locals, not chickens. Even though I stayed at an inn, it was Guatemala that I heard "Moss Kokokko" from my house next door.

I always look for food by kicking the ground with my feet.
