Even parts of the First World can be redolent. I served two years at Yokota AB, Japan,, 1984 - 1986, when I was in the USAF. The farms around both ends of the runway were fertilized with fresh manure. For a week or two a year the base was indeed redolent.
Yokota had its good points. Many of the Japanese electronics factories were within twenty miles. Last years stocks of consumer electronics were seriously marked down. $2000 Nakamichi Dragon cassette tape player marked down to under $1000.
Likely, if AC was on, but what a menu.
Interesting comment about disposing of used toilet paper in Argentina. Mexico does this. Here on the U.S./Mexican border you find used paper thrown in the waste baskets in Cafes and shops by Mexican visiting the U.S.. In Mexico their sewage systems are not set up to carry the paper in toilets, in businesses and in homes. When they come to the U.S. they don’t have sense to realize that we have sanitation rules here. Doubt if they will every adapt and update their sewage.

I don’t think the name turkey has anything to do with the bird over there
In Spanish it’s Pavo
In Portuguese it’s Peru
In Italian tacchina
French it’s dinde
Kinda wierd
Yes, that is not the only one from that source.
“In Spanish it’s Pavo”
In Mexican spanish, “guajolote” is another word that they use for turkey. It’s from one of the pre-Spaniard languages.
They say it like “woe hoe low tay”.
Good German names there.....
Aluminium phosphide reacts vigorously with water or acids to release phosphine gas.[5] The phosphine gas is the basis of the toxicity of AlP.
Must be very cautious about food in foreign countries. One of the first things they taught us when I was in Japan.
