Define 'lived'? While in the Marines I deployed from Okinawa with JTF Sea Angel to Bangladesh, for a month and a few days, disaster relief after a cyclone. Some of the things that stuck with me: Footwear. Before I deployed, I had purchased from the uniform shop in Okinawa, for $30 US, jungle boots. Nothing special, just 'boots', like a million other guys have owned. The Bengali soliders - enlisted guys - that drove around with our general could not believe the quality footwear that a low-ranking enlisted guy (me) could buy for a fraction of my paycheck. Their boots, the best money could buy there, for guys who were their elite soliders, were garbage by comparison. Badly made, looked like hell, you couldn't give them away in the US. Power Tools. Talking backhoes, bulldozers, like that. They didn't exist. In the West, you need a trench dug for a sewer line. Hire a guy, with a backhoe. A few hours later: trench. In Bangladesh, you hire a hundred guys, give them mattocks and shovels and pickaxes and it takes forever to get it done. Because 'by hand'. Consider that: it's cheaper to hire guys to dig a ditch than to hire a backhoe and operator. Think of the misery and backbreaking labor involved in just putting in a 100 meter stretch of pipe.
