Drnano, I dont believe 3rd world countries have that capability.
I thought it was entertaining. Now I am rethinking that.

Seems like you have a sense of humor.

;P

But I once went to radio shack and bought a package of those ir diodes cheaply. THEY WERE ALSO small or thin. 1 volt maybe.

I also bought from radio shack some ir receiver modules. Unfortunately 1 per pack. But radio shacks small and simple breadboards are just enough to experiment with these things

Try using a a radio, youll have to tune through the frequencies and hold any ir remote close to it, but you can hear the output of your II remote through the radio. IR or infrared are radio frequencies as well as light. You can even record them and sometime play them back, using a resistor to cut down voltage from the radio speaker to a cheap IR LED.

Call me me crazy, if you wish, but I would would challenge you to find a physicist or radio expert on steemit or elswhere to prove that it is NOT possible!!!
