...the Balinese in general think that most Westerners have a somewhat unpleasant body odor; this has nothing to do with race, it's diet. If you eat local foods ( I mean the real stuff) after 2-3 days your odor changes to one more acceptable. About 20 years ago a long-time Balinese associate plucked up the courage to ask me why so many visitors smelled so strangely. An eye-opener, or nose opener, maybe that's more appropriate.
