"Facing a trash crisis?". Does that mean Twapper will be back to give a bad place an even worse name?

"A trash pile up in SNV will hardly be noticed tastes barang no need to worry"

That sentence is a fragment of your imagination. Is there a complete English equivalent?

A trash pile in SNV is no bigger difference to cow in India or a hooker in Pattaya , it's part of the furniture.

"it's part of the furniture."

I've no doubt you were able to establish yourself comfortably in all three. Twapper, it's one thing to be stuck in a groove and quite another to move in and furnish it.

When a city is already covered in trash, you wonder if a bit more will make much of a difference ?
