If there's one thing that I will never tire of, it's the advertisements that I see everywhere outside the new buildings that are starting to shoot up like weeds again now that the weather is warmer.
For one thing, most of the gigantic pictures plastered up tend to display a disproportionate number of Caucasians thoroughly enjoying the good life (as do many other advertisements for products, ranging from winter jackets to electronics).
But for me, the icing on the cake are the curious jumble of words that sometimes appear due to someone's attempt to make their high-rise complex or hotel sound like a nice place to either stop by for a bit or settle down permanently. Despite the fact that as a volunteer teacher I'm supposed to keep an open mind, I'd be lying if I said that I still don't derive a fair amount of enjoyment from these.
Despite my best efforts, I still for the life of me cannot figure out what the purple life is, except for the fact that most Photoshopped foreigners seem to agree that it's pretty swanky.
