I've done lots of international travel. You get regional everything - regional car companies, hotel chains, restaurants, grocery stores, drug stores, etc. They contain regional products. I turn on the radio and hear regional music. I watch TV and see movies I've never heard of, stars faces I've never seen, and television shows I never knew existed. They have their only mobile carriers and apps and their own versions of things like yelp. A few things are international, but 95% isn't.

The idea that every single sector from industry to the food supply to entertainment to automotive to clothing and home appliances are all regional, and the drug companies are all actually, located in the US? Is that what you are claiming?

I'll come back and edit this ... but asking for a list is just silly. edited: Axon-Pharma, Steifel, Xenetic, Pharmsynthez, Laboratorios Vargas, Rusnano, CPhi (ok I have other things to do) ... Oh yeah, also, explain Cuba.

Anyway, have you traveled internationally?
