Hamburg

Time is winding down for my trip. I only have a week left before my flight back to the states. It's so sad. It's been a good ride so far, and the best is yet to come. Not in Hamburg, though. There's really nothing here. And, you know, I had hoped to escape American culture a little while I was over here. Seeing McDonald's was expected, Starbucks... understandable, but this...

...unacceptable. I wanted to burn down the building... I had my shirt... but not a book of matches... haha.

I knew Walmart was all over the world, but I figured they were in heavy suburban areas where there's more space for the typical Walmart sprawl building. With only a week left in two months, I stumble over it... in Hamburg of all places too....

But since it's here... it still had the lowest prices I could find of any store in the area... so I bought a coke, and was reminded of the IBM mainframe cluster in Arkansas through my transaction is still probably being processed. Then I went to go eat a Hamburger... now it's off to Copenhagen.
