Shrinking world

I dunno about you, but when I go travelling, i love experiencing new things, but at the same time, am constantly amazed and joyous to find things that are like home (i.e., Sydney). Maybe it’s a sign of globalisation shrinking the world and the merging of cultures and corporations. Whatever it is, this one’s for you, Sydney.

It was a little strange going up this street littered with the homeless, with fading apartment stacks and with modest roadside businesses – to a protruding SONY sign.

I don’t know why I was so surprised to see Caltex here. I mean, obviously they need petrol. I guess it was a little wierd seeing something so everyday to me when I was experiencing a new culture. And maybe having Khmer writing on the Caltex sign had to do something with it. Oh, and FYI, they have Shell too!
