"That the world’s too big they think, the opera in Verona is far enough"
It gets smaller all the time. It used to amaze me that I could buy a ticket in the US or theUk that would take me to the ends of the world AND IT WORKED.
The 45 hour non-stop trip back from Tahiti at the start of Covid (our weekend break
) rather proved the point.
But when you get there people are all wearing the same T-shirts, supporting the same football teams, eating in the same fast food places and using the same electronics. Wasn't like this in Magellan or Capt Cook's time.
Sometimes it's stranger in Cornwall or London than in the Gilbert & Ellice Isles
