World Class B.O.
Turns out soccer isn't the only thing Germans are world masters of--there's also the B.O. Sure the Italians, Spanish, and don't forget the French, are all well known for their aromas. But that the German B.O. is so distinct is made more troubling by the fact this is not a WARM country. It can be the result of only one thing: (well, two) not bathing + not wearing deodorant.
Even on the most blustery cold day, the offending stench seeps through their parkas and boiled wool jackets. Trapped in a gondola once I thought I would die from the B.O. of the other passengers. People, if I can smell it though your layers and layers of ski clothes, you've got a serious problem. In this case I fear it was the triple-wammy of not bathing, no deodorant, and not washing clothes.
Here are some other possibly dangerous locations for egregious B.O.:
THE GYM: omg, can you imagine? I think you can. Then imagine walking into the yoga room where a step class has just finished, and you'll know why I rarely go to yoga. I swear someone smelled like mexican food, and not in a good way--people here don't eat mexican food.
TAXIS: Taxi drivers sit on their ass in their car all day and never break a sweat, so how could they possibly smell so foul? I'll tell you how= not bathing. And due to the weather, the windows are usually rolled up and the heater on. Are you getting the picture? right.
Movie Theaters: Same problem only multiplied by hundreds cramped in an enclosed space. Plus here the parkas and boiled wool jackets come off.
Add into the above equations no A/C in the summer (which I'll get into later) and the problem goes beyond annoying into unsanitary and possibly infectious. They sell deodorant here, why won't anyone besides me buy it or use it? When asked they'll tell deodorant is 'unhealthy', but so is your heinous B.O. people! What can I do?!

having just returned from spain, i was actually pleasantly surprised at the low B.O. level. the only time i really noticed it was in cabs. however, i am used to that i suppose, because B.O. in cabdrivers is not exactly unknown in DC. still, one should not be able to smell the B.O. through multiple layers of clothing. shudder. at least it explains the bidet.
i sure ze germans have ways to remove your sense of smell
by the way i hope no germans will be reading this blog

Yeah, ... there's a rule in Germany about not showering. Just like there's a rule in the US that ALL Americans have to stuff their t-shirts into their pants, wear ridiculously huge glasses and must not be well versed in topics not concerning their own country. *sigh* Cliches are such a nice thing...
Oh, and hi "n"! Germany waving. Now tell me, do you really all wear cowboy hats?
