Reminds me of a Sri Lankan guy I worked with a few years back who after migrating to Australia skipped the big city and moved straight to the country to find work. He really struggled with a lot of things similar to those mentioned in the article. I remember he once asked me why we filled our wheat silos with sh|t. After asking him why he would think that I worked out he had asked someone else "what are they for?" to which he got the reply "ahh they're just for wheat and sh|t"
