I worked in China in 1976-77. Defecating on the streets of Bejing was common. Rail tracks were common dumping grounds both from passersby as well as via the open hole in the floor of the passenger car commode. You saw the ties whizzing by as you whizzed or dumped. Same with boats on the rivers — hole in the fantail was the toilet. People in multistory apartment buildings tossed all their garbage out the window at the end of the hall. There was a 20 foot pile of rotting garbage and the pigs were rooting through it.
Grossest place I’ve ever been to. You’d think a 4,000 year old culture would have developed SOME basic sanitary and hygiene habits.
Been to India?

Dumping toilets onto the railroad tracks was common in the US until sometime around the 1960’s. There were signs in each bathroom cautioning not to flush while the train was in the station.
