I spent 3 years in Germany in Schweinfurt ( US Army ) and the
one thing that got me were the beautiful women ( which were
plentiful! )who would walk by covered in perfume. From about
3 - 5 feet all you smell is the lovely perfume. Then they get closer
and their B.O. overpowers the perfume and you almost lose your
lunch.
Lesson for the day: Soap+Water+Deodorant=good
Not that that makes the whole continent suck. Just my two cents.
On a side not, I love the open air markets in the MarkPlatze
(sp? ). Love the food. Just not the B.O.
