TCP

They do not sell rubbing alcohol in this country. Store clerks have looked at me like I've had five heads whenever I've asked if they have it in the store. I even asked for "Isopropyl" and explaining that it is a disinfectant that is ethanol based. Still, I'm the strange one asking if they sell crack cocaine on aisle one.

Instead, the lady in Boots told me to get something called "TCP." That it serves the same basic purpose. She forgot to mention that it smells like butt. Well, not literally. You get the point, it smells nasty and it lingers. (Yes, I'm aware that rubbing alcohol does not smell like roses either; however, the smell doesn't linger in my nasal passages.)
