Mac Donalds Head Office in Chicago is forcing Japanese Restaurants stores to change there Writing from Hiragana to Roman letters. Some thing that most Japanese do not appreciate to much. After all this is Japan, Hiragana, Katagana and Kanji are the Native for of Writting here. It is a move that most Japanese can not understand even though many things are already displayed in Roman lettres, Most Japanese can not read them and would rather see there own Writting to be used! The US run businesses have a way of not making to many friends letely! It would be time that US run enterprises learn to respect other countries costomes and langwishes!

Thank you for the advice, I shall do my best in future writings! No, I am not Native Japanese, I am native from Cameroon of German back round! It is all in my profile though!
I do how ever respect other Cultures and Tongs and believe this to be essential for good business relations globally! The large Majority in Japan does not speak English nor can they read it same would go for China and most other countries around the world! You may want to read some of my Articles about that subject! Especially "http://www.nowpublic.com/culture/perceptions-cultural-and-other-wise-need-be-understood" and maybe "http://www.nowpublic.com/world/end-tuaregs-niger-chad-mali-and-cameroon-algeria-and-libya" ! There is more though if you are interested! All the best and maybe you will become a Cosmopolite your self!
