described it as, "It's like being in the future! ...except it's now!"
Obviously the lines leading up to and nearer to the Olympic stadium
were better than the ones farther away, but the worst that I saw (not
that I saw that many stops) looked like one of the nicer Boston
T-stops. Also, there were flatscreen color TVs in all of the cars, as
well as on the platforms. There was also a TV in the bus that I rode.
I'm not really sure what they were showing, I think it may have been
mostly a couple looping commercials with a news report or something
equally boring. No one seemed to be watching them, probably because of
this.
Not much to report about today - I had class and then I did homework.
The use of westerners in advertisements and other imagery could be a
very, very interesting sociological research topic. In fact, I'm sure
lots of people are concerned with this. I'm working on collecting more
examples and some clear thoughts on this, but unfortunately, for now,
I'm tired.
Class at 7:30 in the morning is simply too early.
