Iraq is a Garbage Can

Iraq is a gross country. I suppose it's no better or worse than most third world countries. But this is the only third world country I've ever been to, so I have nothing to compare it to, so I just deem it the shittiest place on Earth. Good logic, I think.

The garbage is out of control in this country. It's everywhere. They have no concept of throwing things away properly. It made me realise that me recycling a few news papers and beer bottles is NOT going to save the Earth because of places like Iraq. This place counter acts all your Earth Saving Deeds. The smell of Iraq is unlike anything I will ever come across again. It's perfectly unique "Iraq". It's a delicate mix of sweet rotting garbage, urine, stagnant murky water and stank body odor. Really a very distinct aroma. Some days Iraq smells stronger than others, but it's always there. Hovering. Like a disgusting green film covering everything. When it rains, everything turns into a mud slide. It's thick sloppy mud that suctions to your boots. The mud looks like chocolate fluff desert from the grocery store deli. I'm sure it doesn't taste like it since it smells like dung. And the puddles... they form in a myseterious yellow color of goo and muck. I try to keep my distance from them; I'm not sure why they're yellow.

And if the garbage is "out of control", I don't even know what to call the flies. Super species is a start. These flies seem like ordinary house flies, but they are evolved and rude. These flying assholes land on your face and hands all the time. And no matter how many times you swat them away, they come right back. But they tread lightly, as if they weigh less than our skin can detect, so they crawl around on your face for a while. You don't feel them until they're on your lip or eyelid and by then you're totally grossed out because you know exactly what just happened because you watched it happen to your buddy sitting across from you and you were horrified he didn't notice the fly until he practically ate it.
