I think the reason I'm so taken with the ads, is it is a different country than I saw five years ago. Thought I mentioned it to the people living there, and it must have sneaked up on them slowly because they didn't even notice. Of course I'm more sensitive to advertisements too.

On the other hand, the residents do notice the increased traffic.
