Mangoes for Bikes

This article provides a good example (and a tasty one at that) of the benefits of globalization. I am a personal fan of mangoes - they are my favorite fruit, and one I would often buy in China and Australia. However, I have been greatly disappointed by the mangoes in the United States - they are invariably bland, and often the stores sell them unripe. However, even when they are ripe, they are still nothing compared to the mangoes I have eaten in China - the best are the little ones that are ripe enough that you can peel them by hand......ahhhh so delicious. I can't wait to eat them when I get back to China in a week. Anyways, according to this article, the wonderful mangoes of India are on their way to the United States. In return, the Indians get Harley Davidson motorbikes. Globalization can be great.

Mangoes make my mouth itch...but I still ate them in Guatemala sometimes.
