Day 146

and it is all, or nothing at all....
Every place has its own customs
and every country has its own peculiarities,
but globalization usually diminishes the expectations I have
of finding some.

But in fact the idea that globalization is a diversity killer
is not completely true.
What globalization leads to is an adaptation of what the peculiarities were
into the modern asset of society (that is globally similar).

An example?
Well, the underground exists in almost every big city of the world now
and it is certainly not a distinctive trait of the Thai culture.
But the sticker indicating that
those seats are reserved to monks,
won't be easy to find in New York.
