Turnips are also a good example of globalization. The betting-Game is only existing if you game the local market (your island), but if you move on to export your turnips you can choose the market with the highest price in the world and become filthy rich with low effort. In Animal Crossing this has no deeper meaning for local and remote markets. Though people take it as another source of income through entry-fees for letting people enter their islands, which is kinda interessting in it's own. You basically make your own island richer (in items, recipes and resources) by exposing it to the world.
