DAY 47: Mini United Nations

Wed, 12 October 2005

The BX and its mall has shops that are filled with vendors from all over the world – a mini United Nations right here. What’s unique is that each shop is filled with workers from a specific ethnic group – I speculate that the hiring manager is most likely of that nationality. In the BX, the workers are of Kyrgyz descent – the same people from my brief stay in Manas, Kyrgyzstan. Pakistani workers own the Pizza Hut. The Press Shop (to iron your uniforms) is comprised of Indian workers. And the Barber Shop is full of Russians. Very interesting slice of foreign workers supporting our mission here.
