Okay, I work for a massive world-wide company and recently we had several meetings with several nations in attendance. It was amazing how bad the smell would get in the afternoon meetings in Houston, TX as most folks from outside of the US didn't bother wearing deodorant.
It made me curious as to how many countries go without this nose-saving invention. Is it not customary to wear deodorant in the civilized world? I mean folks bathe/shower and brush their teeth elsewhere, don't they? What was worse was that many of the women would wear very heavy perfume trying to disquise the stench of their bodies. That was even worse than the body odor. I was also wondering if this was generational. It seemed that the younger folks all wore deodorant.
P.S. Houston, Texas USA is one of the hottest and most humid cities in the States.
