American Food in Finland
We were out buying groceries when we came across an entire section dedicated to American food… and it reminded me of someone I met from the states who said that they were ‘pissed off’ at how expensive mac and cheese is here, when I was thinking, “why the are you buying mac and cheese in Finland?” But it also reminds me of tourists who travel the world but look for the nearest Macdonald’s to get lunch instead of trying the local cuisine… Its just sad. Why travel if you aren’t willing to experience the culture? Its seems as though they could be anywhere in the world, they aren’t taking in what is unique about their destination.
