Our second vehicle battery started to boil and filled the car with Hydrogen Sulphide fumes. No problem we just need to get a new one. Okay so we are in a remote desert town, our Arabic is non existent. We pull up at a building that looks like a mechanical shop, open the bonnet and point at the battery. Arabs are very loud, flamboyant and lots of babbling a car turned up and out comes a battery. Amazing, they had it in before we knew what was going on, problem solved.
