so I want to take a trip. but I do NOT want to go to anywhere in the world that has been taken over by Walmart’s and whatnot…

I went to Mexico the last time, was driving around… bam… giant Walmart. why… why does everything need to look the same, sell the same junk.

is there a list of cities, countries that are still… good that haven’t been visually infected with corporate American trash stores?

    In Canada: Vancouver, BC. Just don’t go beyond the city limits.

    Kingston, ON: if you can get past big box suburbia near the highway, the downtown is small and charming.

    Montreal, QC is also very cool. Downtowns of major cities in Canada are generally very nice places to be, but outside there it depends on the city how sprawling the suburbs are.

    I’ve never shopped at a Walmart in Japan. It’s really fun to visit.

      thanks, trying to leave Canada for a bit. gonna checkout some south easy Asian places and perhaps a small euro tour since they don’t seem to have any
