globalisation

Globalisation is certainly a good thing for the economy. We can purchase goods at a much better price quality ratio. However it also have has some drawbacks. For instance brands and retailers tend go global and as a consequence you will find the same brands or goods all over your own country or abroad. So whether you are travelling in your own country or in a far away place you might find the same shops with the same goods for sale. Therefore, the pleasure of discovering something new and being immersed in a different environment while traveling will be a little bit hampered by the fact that abroad you will find some of the same culture traits as in your own country.

However traveling or going abroad cannot be reduced to the experience of shopping and I am sure that whereever you go you can discover new things.
