Wow, such spirited conversation. I am reminded of living for years in Tokyo, a metropolitan area of 35 million if you consider the aggregate surroundings. Can hardly recall any street/sidewalk interface where there was not a concrete "U" ditch with concrete lid and vent holes which contained the raw sewage from all the inhabitants. Right there, pop a lid and there you have it. Smelled, was able to vent, always leaked at the joints. Everyone seemed fine.

Did not seem so different living in Viet Nam or The Philippines either.

In this long string, I did not notice any Mexicans (OK, Daniel, but hey whatever, doesn't count to me) chiming in here. Just Ex-Pats. So collectively the Ex-Pats from the USA and Canada together might account for 380 million folks on a 7 billion person planet so we're shy of 6% of the world's population yet, from reading this, it seems like we have ALL of the answers about what someone else should do. Funny.
