Globalization

The other day at the Christmas market near the Saarbrücken palace (Saarbrücker Schloß) I spotted a stall with bright red-on-yellow sign saying “American Donuts”. Getting closer, I saw that the person frying and selling the donuts inside the stall was a middle-aged Indian man. Picture this – an Indian man, selling “American Donuts”, in Germany – am I the only one who finds this amusing?

    No, you aren’t, but I find it no more amusing than an Indian man, from America, buying American donuts in Germany. :-)
    Did you buy?

    Nope, I didn’t. I was kind of full, so even though the mini-donuts looked tempting, I stayed with just Glühwein :-)
