Asian Gypsy - All Things Mongolian: Rumors of Starbucks & McDonalds opening in Mongolia

Asian Gypsy - All Things Mongolian: Rumors of Starbucks & McDonalds opening in Mongolia:

"The modern barometers of globalization and international recognition of a country as one worth its space on the map. Unfortunately. But amidst all the hoohahs, 'god-forbid's, and the apparent inevitability of a cultural apocalypse brought on by the grease and grind of the McBucks invasion, I find myself wondering at their significance. Doomsday prophets may disagree, but the invasion of the greasy burger and the bland overpriced java will not spell the end of nomadism."
