lol @ chewing gum, clapping hands
And I thought the clapping was a latin american thing
Now you think you are Harper’s?
I was rudely reminded of another place that sports new ads: Shell gas stations.
It is now impossible to fill without getting an ear and eye full of ads and inane tv. The bastards have built blaring tvs into the pumps.
Who knew – McDonalds in Bangkok have free wi-fi. Not that I’m in McDonalds … but next door at the equally ubiquitous Starbucks.
Jules,
I have to admit, Latin Americans are even worse about the clapping. I remember being on a turbulent flight with a bunch of drunk Italians once. They all kissed each other when we landed safely. Now that sounds like a good ritual to me.
Quintle,
Sure, why not?
Chris,
Three snaps about the Shell gas stations – I actually choose the gas station across the street whenever I can just because the ads are so damn annoying. They are just as bad on the Bangkok skytrain. No wonder we’re always in our own iPod bubbles – without them we’re sabotaged with marketing.
I’ve never had a good experience eating at the Cheesecake Factory. Ugh. Would you be mad if I found a new favorite David?
That would be unacceptable.
I assume you’re in Thailand on a Team Rad! recruiting trip?
Cindy, I’ve been to Cheescake factory mmmmm, 3 x and liked it twice. Have you tried the one’s in NYC?
