Back in 2004 I moved to Mountain View, California, for about 6 months. I lived in what our US cousins call a "Condominium" which has nothing to do with condoms, it's basically managed apartments. I rolled up at reception, filled in the form with name and home address and got handed the keys to my "Condo".
4 hours later the phone in the "Condo" rang. It was an Indian gentleman trying to sell me life insurance. He had my name and nationality. I have to say, in terms of efficiency in passing on information, that takes some beating. Damn annoying though.
