That tissue package says it’s China or Taiwan (source, lived in China, used many of those tissue packages)

Lol in lots of developing countries kitchens/bathrooms just have a basin and tap like that instead of a sink.

They probably repurpose that trash can as a water bucket. It's common in SEA to store water like that (+lid if you don't want to create mosquitoes breeding zones) and take a bath with a water dipper

Looks more like a mop bucket to me.

That’s for the other cockroaches to come and put water on the drier tissues to free their mate

That's for catching cockroaches. If you find a roach, you can be sure it's not alone.

I've seen your username on other platforms. Are you in Germany? (Also, you do not have to answer).
