I've been thinking abt europe trip a lot lately after looking thru the europe dvd. And everything seems to spark bits and pieces of memory of the trip.
During malay class, bila - meaning where- instantaneously reminded me of the Billa supermarket we often see in europe! I still rmbr the Billa in salzburg i got a stack of Milka chocolate from! :)
While searching for the Billa logo, i found this pic of the Billa from Venice. It never occured to me when i was there that the Billa logo wasnt its usual Red words on yellow background. Interestingly, as stated on the webpage, Venice, in general, is wary of these food giants, as they threaten a way of life that prefers to pluck earthly necessities from 5 stores in 2 hours rather than 1 store in 15 minutes. Somehow the italians think that it's good to know your butcher, cheese man, and baker personally. Dont u think that there's ritualistic beauty and soulfulness of this radical inefficiency?
I wonder if the rest will still think of
brand products that were always so affordable. Haa.. the stack of 20 slices cheese and the integrali biscuits? Yum!Just found their usual logo on their website.
