Anyway, I just received mail/fedex from the US and when I opened the envelope, amoy na amoy ko US. It smelled so good so mali yung theory na dahil sa sabon sa balikbayan box because even paper has that smell.

I remember when we were younger UF described to me when she first got to the US. She said she was so amazed because the colors are more vivid - the sky is more blue, the trees are more green and the air feels so fresh. For some reason mas masarap huminga sa US. I'd like to see if there's a science behind that (quality of air in US vs PH)
Open sewers, unpaved shoulders/sidewalks, dust, never-cleaned streets & open trash bins all contribute to our endemic organic aroma.[emoji4]
