knock you on your ass after almost two years.

If you've ever been to China you would know that this, and the rubber
smell you're having trouble with, are the things that actually smell
good!


That's nothing compared to the delicate aroma wafting from the "fresh"
meat section of the souk in Tripoli, Lebanon on a 90 degree day!

Two things might be worse my olfactory experience ... "durian" in Indonesia,
and _real_ "menudo", made the authentic way, in rural Mexico.

To say that both smell like week old road kill is putting it mildly.

I've eaten menudo in old Mexico, not the stuff sold here in the US, and at
first it took quite a bit of tequila to get it there, but it was good once
you got it to your mouth.

Durian, I simply could not get drunk enough to get to my lips ... and that's
saying something back in those days.

Then there was some of that rotten fish juice in SE Asia, Nuoc Man (sp?),
but I liked that right off the bat because it went well with rice, and I'm
enough of a coonass to accurately estimate how much gravy it takes to cover
an acre of rice.
