Reminds me of the famous story about Boris Yeltsin.

While he was on a state visit to Johnson Space Center, he made an impulse decision to check out a grocery store. He was astonished by the selection and low prices. Apparently it was this visit that caused him to leave the communist party and start to reform Russia economically.
