Did Franklin's Open a Branch in Taipei?

So I'm on the way home from work tonight, getting rained on pretty good because I failed to grab my umbrella in the morning. (It wasn't raining this morning in Taipei; unlike Austin, just because its not raining in the morning doesn't mean it won't rain all afternoon.) As I approach the corner of Heping and Dun Hua near my apartment, I see an even more obnoxious crush of people at the intersection.

Turns out Burger King has a crazy cheap one-day coupon special today: 50NT (about $1.67) for a burger, fries, and drink.

My first reaction? Damn, that's a lot of people in line for Burger King.

My second reaction? I should take a picture and post something on my blog. (Because I have a streak on the line: capturing every promotion/advertisement of the local Taipei Burger King on my blog....)

After dropping off my laptop, grabbing my umbrella and my new Canon EOS 60D (yes, my trusty old point and shoot camera is somewhere in Mexico, along with my former truck, passport, garage door opener, and left running sock), I head out for some stalking of my favorite fast food establishment.

I ended up with three shots....

The "Stalker" shot taken from a safe distance across the street....

A view from the back of the line....

And, finally, a view from the front head-on....

Something tells me the 20-30 minute wait won't end in the kind of happiness that Franklin BBQ customers in Austin experience.... If you have no idea what I'm talking about in regard to Franklin's, and you live in Texas, that should change.
