Q: have you ever just vomited from the awful smell?
many places in china flat out just smell like a sewer. i went out to for lunch and i swear i felt so nauseous (congrats to the spell checker) that i had to go into starbucks and get a coffee or else i was going to either pass out or vomit. that area had a heavier sewer smell than normal. i thought the classroom buildings were bad but this was the worse ever
at the start of a semester, i just hope my class-room is not the one next to the toilets 
Nope. I can barely smell anything. On the days I smell bad things, it doesn't last long. Had a kid vomit on the ex-girlfriend's feet on the train... and I didn't smell it. The ex could smell the horrible stench, though.
Do you remember the odor present when you first walked out of the airport the first time you arrived in China? Did you ever fear that you now carry that odor? Well you do.
the summer heat warms up the sewers and it smells of s**t all the time.
people just leave black binbags full of human faeces out in the street near my house - great in the summer...
One smell i still cant handle is the smell if STINKY TOFU! now that smells of fried VOMIT! 
Hulk:
I can't smell stinky tofu most of the time, but it sure does taste good if I eat it quick enough... starts to go bad after a bit.
No, but I have often chose to speed up or move to a different place if I am in a smelly area.
Never vomited but I do remember one day my brother in law was driving us to the Vietnam border on a sightseeing trip and we stopped for a toilet break. I walked in there, turned around and walked straight out again and any feeling I had of wanting to go disappeared instantly, the smell was the most disgusting thing I have ever smelt. Think sewer and multiply a hundred times and you will have some idea.
Hulk:
This is part of why I'm glad I have hyposmia. 
I literally cannot smell bad things for long... and I have a very decreased sense of smell.
Hulk:
I don't do coke, crimo. *sniffles* I don't know what you're talking about.
I threw up on a student once.
He asked me a question and his breath was beyond horrible. Just one whiff and my lunch shot right out of my mouth all over his leg.
Only time I vomited was on a bus that we took as a whole to Tiajin. I had too many drinks and ate too much. I thought I was ok but I wasn't. I vomited all over the bus for hours!
TedDBayer:
There you have it , Sparkey the party animal, craps in a hot tubs and vomits all over the bus, not out a window. Nothing like a good puker for show. lets hang out. 
I have honestly nearly done so. The public toilets here make me cringe. My Chinese pals cannot understand what the problem is when I cannot even face going through the door. Non-flushed squatters to them is just a normal, everyday occurrence.
Because I am typically located in Tier one cities, I do not usually run into this but on a trip to the in laws I did not want to drive my car, the roads are terrible, so we took the bus, now before I go further, this is July and we are going to the outskirts of Wuhan, "hot pot of China", I thought nothing of it, I drove their before, yes it is a village but all in all not bad, just the roads, had to change out a gear box and transmission from the terrible road quality. Anyway, we got to the major city in Wuhan which is a Tier one city, pulled into the bus hub to change buses and damn, it was hot, we got onto another bus, I should have known, it looked straight out of India style bus, we left, no A/C, sweaty people who say they don't stink, making it difficult to breathe, one hour later, I thought the suffering was over, I alighted and had to pee, I should have taken note that others where peeing everywhere but the toilet, but you know, it is China, this is norm, and it was a run down village bus hub, I should have known, I went right into the outside toilet with a greenhouse fiberglass roof, and was hit with a smell, unlike anything I have ever smelled before, no running water, the stench was more than gagging, whilst throwing up so violently, I couldn't even move, couldn't try to even exit, I was left twitching and looking in all directions, I look up and say WTF how do you get sh*t on the ceiling, that is physically impossible, later a guard entered and helped me up and out. I was so disturbed, I still have nightmares about this.
I am glad my kids are out of the Nappy stage can't handle the smell of baby s#it
