Rio stinks. And, what’s worse, I mean it in the literal sense. There is an incredible number of homeless (and thus toiletless) people living in the streets, so you can imagine the smell. The stink of human crap is everywhere. To make it worse, both homeless and non-homeless males simply use the whole city as an outdoors toilet: they simply choose a tree, or a wall, or a corner, or any inanimated body which happens to be standing nearby, pull their dicks out, and piss, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. But what about dogs’ piss, you may ask? You might not be aware, but human piss and animal piss don’t smell quite the same – they’re chemically different. That disgusting smell of amonia is produced by human urine only – so if it makes you wrinkle your nose, it’s human, baby. (Of course, there *are* loads of dog mines around, and it pisses me off a lot, since I collect my dog’s crap and so don’t bother anyone). Just to add a little bit more to the chaos, people also have this strange notion that it’s OK to litter the streets. Both the streets and sidewalks, as well as flowerbeds and any other place you can imagine, even the ground exactly below the trash cans, are littered with wrappings of chocolate bars, snacks, chewing gum, peanuts, and paper cups, and zillions of plastic bottles and straws, and absolutely anything else you can imagine – from old shoes to used condoms.

I just hate living here sometimes. Right now I wish I were Danish.
