My classmate who retired early, thought that travelling with his wife would be fun. After 2 years of travelling up to 4 times a year, they came to the conclusion that cities, food, entertainment, shopping, airports, subways etc. seemed to serve up similar fare, sights and sounds. Italian, French, Japanese, Chinese, Korean dishes were served in different destinations they travelled to. Fashion and footwear they saw in SG or online were sold in several different countries. We live in such a globalised world.
