Flew into Marrakech years ago because one of my guys had blended a batch of utility fuel with bio-diesel derived from fish guts and managed to shut down the city where the plant was due to the odor. Pilot on approach said, 'Please make ready for landing' and all the passengers got up to retrieve their chickens and whatnot from the overhead bins and crowded to the door while still at 30k feet. Reality, the govt was really just looking to shake us down, but having to smell the blend in the oil minister's office when he held out a mason jar and assure him that's how all fuel oil smells wasn't the highlight of the trip.

Never thought I'd need to pull out a Morocco story/joke, but there you have it!
 
That could be ANYWHERE in Africa or Asia. Notice the traffic signal - install red lights and they ignore them. Maybe they can't read colors or something (sarc). How can you run a government with people that ignore the most basic of rules? There are days I have thought beating them with sticks to enforce compliance was a fine idea when stuck in the middle of that kind of cluster. Security nightmare.
