'So Different, Yet So the Same...'

A classic lyric from the great No Doubt song 'Different People' about how the world is so full of different kinds of people yet somehow we are all the same.

Anyway, I was walking down Bağdat Caddesi (a famous street in Istanbul - think Rodeo Drive) when I noticed a Starbucks and a Ben & Jerry's next to each other. This reminded me of this song. How we can be halfway across the world and still experience bits and pieces of familiar culture: people hanging out, drinking coffee, working on their laptops...

So different, yet so the same...
