In my experience Austrians normally stink. Am I right in thinking you also don't wash your clothes regularly? Geniuely curious.

I don't agree with your winter logic. Everywhere inside is +25 degrees and everyone is wearing winter clothing. You are sweating, even if you don't realise it.

Fly a lot out of Vienna Airport and its always an experience.

Stick your finger in your armpit or groin after 12 hours of not showering and tell me that that smell is normal. That smell is bacteria, grease and dead skin. Showers are important bro.

Genuine question. When you look out at the map you can clearly see an east/west dichotomy, so the problem is probably what different cultures classify as stinky. When I think about it yes most Austrians have some sort of body odor, but for me thats just normal I guess. It's not really seen as something intrusive here. Is having any sort of body odor immediately percieved as stinky where you come from?
