I spent a few months in Asia. Not the story I heard from Brazilian pilots, not even close. But if that's what you say, then its probably true, I wouldn't know.
Not to argue with you, I really don't care, It's not like I'm planing on going there, Just that I heard a different version, and it wasn't as you're describing it, that's all.
but anyway moving on.
