Second visit to Big Shops

Coming from a small town and small villages,
the local shops came in sizes that fit those
places.

But here a lot of things come king-size,
including the shops and supermarkets.
Walking into Walmart and Target during my
first days here, I felt uncomfortable.
Too big.
Too many products.
Too many customers.
A kind of culture shock.

These last days I have been back,
and I felt quite different.
The size was not scaring me that much.
The number of products first made me
curious, and then - as I walked through
the aisles - strengthened my inner
feeling, that I myself, would need very few
of these products.
This time I saw the other customers, but
they did not catch that much of my attention.
