Walmart - Siempre! by Lindsey

We were finally able to meet our interpreters this afternoon, and they were excited to show us around the city.  This evening our interpreters accompanied us on the bus to Walmart.  Can you believe it - Walmart?!  It had everything from Kellogg's cereal to typical Mexican pastries.  Also, we hear that the large superstore across the street called Soriano is owned by a Chinese company.  Having stores like this has obviously affected the economy of Zacatecas and many other aspects of life here in Mexico.  In the coming weeks, it will be interesting to learn how globalization has affected the way the Zacatecans live.
