Half of the McDonald's logo pictured on the edge of the village of Zurich in the Dutch Province of Friesland. The village with a population of 170 people is located 900 kilometers from Zuerich in Switzerland. The name "Zurich" originated by chance. The village used to lie on a southern shore of an estuary. "Southern shore" translates to "suder ich" in Frisian. Which resulted in the abbreviation "Zurich".

Der Name "Zurich" ist durch Zufall entstanden. Das Dorf lag frueher am suedlichen Ufer eines Meeresarms. "Suedliches Ufer" heisst auf Friesisch "suder ich". Abgekuerzt ergab das dann "Zurich".
