she watched a documentary on one of the last bastions against the unending colonisation of the west.
a sovereign nation in south east asia where the men are still wearing the sarong.
but....
now the youth (of the celebrated so called y generation) are speaking in heavily accented american english, dressed in the worldwide accepted attire of t-shirts and blue jeans, jamming in .throes of imported rock music.... proud to be called free and modern.
soon the world will be homogeneous. culture, architecture, politic, education, economy, all will be entirely similar. the world becomes a borderless entity. cities of the world are now filled with almost similar high rises, transportation, infrastructure. similarly attired people. similar dwellings. similar food. especially fast food. burgers, pizzas in every nook and corner on earth.
what makes her chuckle, even public buildings have almost the same names the world over. ny times square. berjaya times square in her country. and other times square in other major cities of the world. etc. etc.
when london had a london eye, other countries rushed to have similar structures with nearly the same names.
soon there will be no need to travel to see new places as the earth will be monotonously the same everywhere.....
