This is a super-useful tool for helping students adapt to differences in infrastructure between so-called "first world" nations and less-prosperous nations. Several of my professorial friends who do fieldwork with students (archaeology; rain forest or domestic forest research; etc.) have found it useful for students who are unaccustomed to campfire cooking, lack of indoor plumbing , no wifi & so forth. Last year I used it for the first time in an EU country, when unexpected train delays on the way to a much-anticipating meeting at the European Space Agency threatened group equilibrium (the sort of experience that often causes US STEM students to gripe that the leader "should have been better prepared" or "should have made a different transportation choice." Worked like a charm to enhance student's resilience to this unexpected setback.
