When you are visiting a country, it can be annoying if everything feels like America, but, at the same time, there can be a comfort there, to know that there's someplace there that will ease your culture shock. It's a balance to be struck sometimes, I think.
Regional grocery store chains are possibly the most irritating thing about being outside of your region. It's so hard to find one you like as well as you like the one from home! Now, with the nationwide prominence of Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, that can be alleviated a little bit.
