Jun. 29th, 2004 01:18 pmWhile browsing through an old issue of the Economist I came across an ad designed to entice me (well, not me) to invest in Wallonia, aka the southern half of Belgium.
The picture was of a green field, with a big white satellite dish perched in one corner and a swarthy man in a white turtleneck peering through his upheld hands in the other.
Flat, grassy, with a shiny satellite dish: that's not exactly how I remember it. I remember it as bumpy and alternately forested and industrially run-down. Oh well, that's advertising for you, changing the landscape with the brush of a graphic designer's hand.
