every store’s ad has a white dude
most stores in taipei will incorporate an anglo-saxon in their advertising material/collateral. the bubble tea shop down the street has no less than 3 white faces on a banner which only shows 5.
at first, i thought it was to try and lure american/european customers to the store. however, this idea was squashed when i realized that no one at the location spoke any english.
then the cynical side of me said that taiwanese people will feel better about a product if it was endorsed by americans.
then the logical side concluded it must be true.
