Standards must be maintained when amongst foreigners.
The, what we call "woke" today, gang that used to pi ss me of were the Save the Children lot, again as you say Land Cruisers, theirs were white. Playing at saving the world in their then equivalent of a gap year!
Working in the desert in Egypt, Zeit Bay for those in the know, I built another camp there. Porta Cabin, Brit, ordinary toilets that we all know. The Egyptians werent happy, no way to wash their bums. I invented a bit of 1/4" bent stainless instrument techy pipe with a little valve on. Connected it to the mains water supply and hooked it over the rim. Bent it at a suitable angle. They were in heaven, if you can picture it, angle of dangle just right pointing up. Finish the biz, turn tap, nice jet of cool water to wash the chocolate starfish! But then the higher ups got to thinking, Egyptian mindset, them and us! So a mixer tap was introduced, warm wishy washy for them! You couldnt make it up!
as in Izal?

Similar story, a Mid West Geologist came in, never been out of the States before. He stayed in the same hotel, told me he asked for "Eggs over easy" and got fish head and rice! I had to gently explain to him that first of all the guy wouldnt have spoke english, especially his version, and even if he did, eggs over easy? what does that mean?
