Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice of positioning objects in harmony with five elements wood, fire, earth, water, metal in order to increase the flow of chi, or energy. Commonly used as a relaxation technique for many people. You may be wondering what this has to do with Happy Meals and Ronald McDonald...well, I'm not entirely sure but it has happened.
A McDonald's restaurant in California has become the first in the nation to undergo a Feng Shui makeover. The only familiar McDonald's object reportedly is the golden arches that every child recognizes. According to www.rawstory.com the resteraunt in California has "wood ceiling, silver-coated chairs, plus red accents throughout the dining area to symbolize fire and "good luck, laughter and prosperity...textured walls patterned after ocean waves symbolize "life and relaxation."
According to www.rawstroy.com , Mark Brownstein, one of three owners of the restaurant: "chose the feng shui makeover because the restaurant is located near a renowned Buddhist temple, which is considered good luck. The designs were meant to appeal to the area's growing Asian population, but were also done in a way that would help all customers tap their inner Zen."
