Hometown Globalization

     Globalization is quite prevenlent in my hometown. Globalization is the interaction and intergration of people, culture, and ideas. My Hometown is West Reading, Penssylvania. West Reading is West of Reading and is one of the many suburbs on Reading. Within the limits of the town we do not have any multi-national corporations but rather small shops representing different parts of the world. More recently, within the past 5 years, West Reading has seen a boom in Asian culture representation. Along Penn Ave. and a few blocks in either direction you are no less than 5 walking minutes from an Asian eatery. These come in forms of noodle and ramen houses, Boba Tea shops, and many more resturants. Besides Asian shops we also have a handfull of Carribean shops as well that sell authentic Carribean food and drinks. The Carribean shops and Asian shops allow a cultural integration between these parts of the world with my hometown. This can be considered globalization as now these cultures are being represented in my hometown and allowing visitors to be connected to these groups and spread their experiences to friends and family.
