Aesthetic differences


You can tell a lot about a country by simply observing their aesthetic preferences. Many years ago we cycled to Nice down at the Mediterranean Sea. Here you can see a poster, showing how cycling is portrayed like over there. (Well, *was* portrayed, but you get the point.) 



The French quite clearly have a appreciation for the female form. Some might object to the blatant objectification of women for commercial purposes, but I am not here to pass judgement at this particular moment, but rather to study and learn.

This year we're going to Poland. And judging by their poster I honestly don't know what to expect. But I know that it will at least be interesting. Each to his own, right?
