El Paso – Singapore – London Connection
As a New Mexican who has spent a lot of time in that infamous border town of El Paso, I’m always more than a little amused to find traces of the familiar in another country.
Ya’ll will recall my find at Mustafa Market in Singapore:
It’s made in Spain which veers dangerously into “get a rope” category.
But then imagine my giggling surprise while deep underground at the Mornington Crescent tube station in London’s Camden neighborhood:
The bejeweled gloved hand. The Brit flags. Juxtaposed with, well, El Paso.
Surreal.
Now I’ve never thought Old El Paso brand was all that authentic anyway, but it gives me a swell of pride to find the city of El Paso representin’ across this globe.
Saaaalute!
