In the country where a Chrysler 300 looks small
A mini really looks tiny
The Toyota Tundras and Chevy Tahoes, Hummers make their presence felt among rows of stretch limosines and beefed up engines on old vintage Cadillac. I have not seen a single small car or hatchback on the streets so far.
My hotel receptionist finds it queer that a 'Silver member' Marriott would like to use the Metro to get somewhere and not a Limo service. On a Saturday night, the Metro stations are empty. The trains are too.
I wonder if the metro system is making any profits to continue functioning.
Tons of advertisements on the telly, on how to make money...many of them stating, "no credit checks" (still?) and how to spend the money.
Looking around, it does not feel like this country was in severe recession just recently.

BIG is the name of the game!
I guess they are trying to spend their way out of the recession!
(like drinking your way out of a hangover)
I don't truly think there was ever a recession - all it was was a giant media frenzy that made everyone afraid.
K, yeah I remember you saying that
