Welcome to Globalisation.

The same is true everywhere else, big fish eats little fish.

Everywhere is becoming the same, where individualism and being unique is lost to the common.

Look at McDonalds, all the different burger shops around the world are getting replaced by the same McDonalds like burger chain. They might have a slightly different menu, but this difference is nothing compared to the old days.

Look at airports, they are all the same, its hard to identify which country any airport belongs too without cheating and reading signs. Shiny floor, columns, glass buildings.

Trains are another example, they all basically look the same, the same buttons to open the doors, the same basic platform layout. In the old days the Paris metro was quite different from London with its Metro signage and more, today they are the same.
