Obama Bueno: There is just no escaping American culture

So I was walking to class today when I got stuck behind this man wearing a sports coat and smoking a cigarette. I'm in Spain...there is nothing particularly interesting about this story. Except of course for what was embroidered onto the back of his suit jacket in multicolored thread: OBAMA BUENO. Yet another reminder that there is no escaping American culture. I had this idea before I left that I would be completely immersed into the Spanish culture by living in Madrid for five months. I thought I would only speak Spanish, I would get to know Spanish music, Spanish tv, Spanish movies, etc. Little did I know that I would speak English just as often as Spanish because practically everyone in my age bracket knows at least some English and is eager to practice it with you or that Spanish pop culture is dominated by American pop culture. When I hear music in a store, bar, disco, etc it is almost always American. The movies in the theaters: American. Spanish tv? Well I don't watch tv here but from talking to Spaniards they all know the shows I watch back home and many of them better than I do. I am definitely immersed in another culture, and am certainly not in the U.S. right now but it never ceases to amaze me each day all the influences of the United States I see. So for now OBAMA BUENO I guess.
