"Ads were everywhere: on hotel-room key cards, on X-ray trays at airport security, on the handrails on escalators."
One of the great things about living in a foreign country and not speaking the language especially well, many of the subtleties of advertising are lost on me.
Conversely when I was in the US for a few hours flying back from Mexico, wow, everything is being blasted at you on all fronts. I have read a fair bit about NLP and it just feels like pure brainwashing there. The lounge "serving them who serve us" and the likes. I was glad to get away.
