Things that make you go huuuum.


Globalisation. Don't you just love it? The world continues to get smaller and more similar. What took 3 weeks aboard a trans-atlantic freight-liner takes 5 hours and when you get there you feel as if you haven't left. Comforting or scary?

Believe me, I don't listen to everything I say because there will always be more good out there then bad, and always a good reason to go somewhere different. It is scary all the same just how prevalent N. American culture is all over.

I came across this interesting map a while back showing the number of Starbucks and McDo's worldwide. The maps also include some other interesting facts about both corporations including gross sales as well as the number of different countries that provide beans for that no fat, extra-hot, no whip, tall mocha java you love so much.

About Me

It is the little things that get me. Old photos, quaint parks, animated streets, bike rides and colourful markets.
