Copper and Garlic

You won't know what I am referring to unless you live here but there is an overall bad breath problem in Thailand. The food is just amazing and as such everyone eats it all the time, breakfast, lunch and dinner. But with eating the basic food for all meals there is an overall bad breath problem in Thailand. Imagine sucking on a coin then a piece of garlic. That is what it smells like.

Scenario #1: The taxi driver had to get an air freshener as I think he was grossing himself out with his breath following his morning bowl of noodles.

Scenario #2: You sit in the chair getting your hair washed at the salon and even through they are using some very strong fragrance shampoo, the overwhelming power of the hair washer's breath breaks through and here comes the copper garlic smell.

I know its cultural but it's every where.
