Hell no, but there were lots of high tech stuff in the dumpsters. People buy a TV, use it for a year, then throw it away there. Or at least did at the time.

Flew in a propeller airplane to Hawaii, 10 hour trip. Twice. Flew to Tokyo in a propeller plane, lived there 3 years. Sailed back on a ship. Been to Canadian lakes many times, lived months with an outhouse and a well, no plumbing or electricity. Been to Tijuana twice. Van broke down there and stuck with the natives for days. Can't speak Spanish.
Got to Mombasa on a train from Nairobi. 13 hours. The bathroom car is a small area with a hole in the floor. The train starts and stops every 10 minutes or so. As you can imagine, the bathroom car's floor was not a model of cleanliness. I was just around everywhere but Antarctica and Australia. Africa is my favorite place to visit.
Lived: Japan, Korea Visited: China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Togo, Ghana, Nigeria, Canada, Mexico, Belize
What I constructed was a fascinating new pointing language. I communicated by pointing at the thing I was talking about, or pointing toward the direction of the thing, or pointing the way I wanted them to go. Of course, I never knew whether this was the guy who was going to kill me for my money. It was great down there.
