When someone told you our world is becoming more globalised, you better believe it.

I have always that such topics are so GP-styled. I remember i wrote this topic once during my oh-so-long-ago JC days. Maybe bcos i have a lot of time on my hand now so my mind is thinking about chim stuff. ( Suddenly, i no longer feel that himbotic.)

Why do i suddenly feel our world is more globalised than before?

On my msn list:

One friend is in europe( think Austria) having student exchange
One is in Norway having student exchange
One sec sch friend went to Germany
One of my university junior is in New Zealand
Another will be going to Japan coming August

Many of my friends going to these places for graduation trip

Europe
Taiwan
Hong Kong

One of my senior is leaving for Taiwan for work

And for me,

I just came back from Malaysia and talked to someone over skype last week.

It is pure mind bloggling to see how interconnected we are with the rest of the world. Compare this with just 10 years when i was still in Secondary School. Internet was just getting popular and mobile were still a symbol of status and wealth. People were still not as well travelled. Somehow, i feel the world felt much larger to us back then than it is now.

All of us should feel excited that the world is more connected than ever. It could mean more opportunities for everyone to find their own place where they belong. There is probably no way to escape this huge of tide of globalisation and we all should ride on this ride to success!
