Cultural differences--bathing

[shauny]

Oh dear! My sympathies! Not the best time of year to be foregoing a wash!

Could be a cultural thing... my friend had a Swiss roomie who did the same sort of thing, she'd go for days without a bath, even in the middle of a sticky London summer!

(And NB I am not lumping all Europeans together, either

Europeans do have the reputation for not bathing as often as we do.

When I was in Italy I saw "72 hour deodorant" at the market! Now if that isn't encouraging people to go days without bathing, I don't know what is!

However, could it also be a male thing or a bachelor thing. My single 25 year old bro has a hard time getting in the shower more than twice a week. He looks greasy sometimes!
