Famous Bridges
Intercity bridges can be cultureal programs that attempt to bridge the gap between people from different lands in a more personal way. Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA for example, has a sister city in Japan and various business groups travel back and forth on a semi regular basis. One of the ways to further these bridges is by publishing websites that make it easier for geographically diverse people to better understand the climate and culture of other places. It seems to me that rade of all kinds is a bridge because of the mutual dependencies it creates. In these days buying from China is a bridge that is now so well established it is hard to imagine the Nixon years when the first thaw began.
Ebay is also getting to be a cultural bridge. With millions of auctions every day, in multiple countries, many people are much more familiar with language problems, international shipping issues, currency exchange rates and all the other challanges of buying and selling across borders. The is nothing like trying to ship to countries where you discover the postal service is not honest, packages ddisappear and fraud is rampent, to make you more appreciative of service we often take for granted.
We are now publishing a series of websites where we offer buying tips for bidders on Ebay and combine that with pre-programmed searches to make finding the items of interest quicker and less painful.
