Guatemala 2009

After our trip to Guatemala it is evident that Guatemala faces many challenges in its part to development. Arriving in Guatemala City was quite a shock to me because I had imagined it as a primitive country lacking in infrastructure and modernity. Yet as we were driving from the airport many western chain restaurants popped up such as McDonalds and KFC. And it wasn't that one there was one or two, I counted more than 15 as we drove down the main avenida. This scene accurately portrayed the powerful forces of Globalization and their disastrous repercussions on developing countries.
