Made In U.S.A.

A visiting friend asked what he should buy for souvenir. Well, there are so many souvenir stores. We should be able to get something right. So, we shopped around New York City -- from Chinatown to Harlem, from 99-cents gift shop to Fifth Avenue. We could not find one non-food product that symbolize U.S.A. and is made in U.S.A. -- GM or Ford vehicles don't count.

Thanks to globalization. We have dedicated areas on the Earth specialized in manufacturing and some other areas "focus on services". Is it really making sense?
