Hi,

Ask ko lang kung na-discover nyo na yung amoy america na yun? :D

I know exactly the smell you are referring to kasi naaamoy ko din yan sa luggages and balikbayan box tuwing umuuwi ang relatives ko from Cali way back when I was a child. That smell is distinct and laging ganon ang amoy tuwing umuuwi sila, ung room nila sa pinas ganon na ang amoy.

Kapag pumasok kayo sa Ukay ukay sa pinas na puro galing US ang damit, ganon din ang amoy. Anyone noticed that? The smell sticks to the clothes - amoy states!

So what really causes that distinct smell?

P.S Now I live in Toronto but I couldn't smell that distinct smell here but to my surprise when I travelled to New Jersey, I can smell that sa basement and some of the closets. This makes me wondering nasa US territory naman ang Toronto pero bakit hindi ko maamoy yung distinct smell na yun dito??
