I had that thought: What if Worthless Whips reached its monetization threshold quicker if you had pointed people to the PSP Traveler vids there? 😄 I also had another thought just now: "Worthless Whips" sounds an awful lot like a BDSM channel. 😜
@@isaacburrows8405 No, we don't. Saw a bike head straight into the front of a car and then half of bike guy's thigh got carved out by the car's broken headlight, dangling and dripping blood. Another time I saw a street vendor got ran over by a lorry, her dead body was oozing blood and spasm as if she was electrocuted. Both burned into my mind. Vietnamese aren't used to it, people are just ignorant until it comes to them.
During my 7-year expatriate experience in Beijing, I had learned , from the day one, to keep my lip zipped when in company with people so that I won't smell their bad breath. After a while, I found this is a great trick to protect myself from trouble. Keeping quiet is a self-defense skill in China.
Actually bad breath has more to due to gut health, more then brushing of teeth. Actually the Chinese seem to do fairly well teeth wise compare to the USA were you have children getting root canals by the age of 10 years old due to sugar drinks and diet. But the Chinese do not eat as much sugar or sweets like we do..The Chinese diet would be more healthier if the food was grown safe and safety maintain until sold. I do not see having fresh meat sitting outside in the open at room temperature for hours with everyone touching it as being safe. The germ from the hands can be cook off but the bacteria from sitting outside cannot.
lol How are they hypocrites? They are being honest about their preferences. Doesn't mean they can't be attracted to Asian women nor that their wives have bad hygiene.
Chairman mao didnt have a shower for 9 years. Although he did used to swim alot. His doctor was trying to encourage him to at least wash down below, his reply was 'i'll wash it in the next young girl'. He never brushed his teeth only washing his mouth out with green tea, which gave his teeth a green tinge. He also had venereal diseases, the girls were actually proud of getting a dose off him as a form of proof that they had had sex with him. I think there is a doco about his doctor that this info comes from but i cant remember its name
My wife is from Harbin (far north of China), although I think her ancestors were from Macao. Anyway, she has no armpit hair, no leg hair, no arm hair, but lots of hair on head!! Even when she is in hot climate >40 C, she doesn't sweat at all. Not a bit. But despite living in UK which isn't hot, she still washes daily. Fact: If you eat garlic the subsequent odour doesn't only come from your mouth, it also permeates your skin tissue and sweat glands, so you generally stink, even if you hold your breath.
Tas Journey dumb, isn’t it? They can both say anything they like about “yellow” people, namely, the Chinese, but Cmilk, the American has been trained that it’s not ok to talk about the realities of how black people live in South Africa. I was more surprised about the “Portuguese shower” comment from Winston.
@@georgsimsohn7876 here in America the derogatory term would be "Puerto Rican shower" so wierd how people in the world say stuff about people they have no idea about. I guess racism isnt just here in the states. It sucks
@@georgsimsohn7876 This is the point i was trying to make. Despite the race problems that still exist in South Africa, Serpenza does not have the same type of hang ups Cmilk has. Everything in America is about race! That is all they talk about.
@@juliusuzutunda It's a media and university brainwashing thing. It wasn't all about race in the 80's or early 90's. Newsweek reported in 1993 that most southern blacks (I think the interviews were done in Georgia) did not feel like racism was a huge issue anymore. It existed but it wasn't a big enough issue to really complain about. This was before the talk of institutional racism. It was around 2000 I began hearing about institutional racism and on and on. I thought, "What the heck are they talking about?" Nowadays that's just "normal" thinking. I was taught that being color blind is the right way. But now it's all about race. Color blindness is out.
When I was teaching in the Jiangsu province about 14 years ago, I gave an oral exam to my middle schoolers at the end of the semester. It was a test of facial muscle control for me because of the oral hygiene issues y'all mentioned. But then I had this one gem of a student who had put on cologne and either had brushed his teeth really well or sucked on a breath mint right before his turn for the exam because out of all my students (I had nearly 800) he was the only one whose breath didn't stink.
The Chinese seem to have lot more teeth in old age then American do. Also bad breath has to do with gut health so it could be cause by what they are eating.
Shaving armpits in the west wasn’t at thing until the 1920s. Like pushing diamonds as a “tradition” so were grooming standards imposed by marketing departments.
I agree that hair removal has been marketed to the masses as the only way to be pretty, but people have always appreciated smooth skin (especially on women) and have trimmed or removed body hair as well as they could for all of recorded history, and certainly even longer. Even if full-body hair removal hasn't been practical on a daily basis for more than a hundred years or so, it's not like you need advanced technology to pull stray hairs. Like all forms of grooming, hair management is a way of advertising how well you maintain your health and thus how desirable you are as a mate. Hell, there are stories in the Bible about brides-to-be having their "virgin hairs" (i.e. pubes) removed before their wedding day.
No shit, because it wasn't as viable, especially for the average person, to do this. Doesn't mean it wasn't practised and viewed as a sign of prosperity, like other practices.
Exactly! It's already been a tradition in ancient Egypt, Rome, Greece and Persia (and probably more cultures) to do even full body hair removal. Hell, they had beauticians in ancient Rome in the baths who would pluck the hair out with tweezers one by one. lol
It's called Shea Butter (Pronounced Shay). It is basically a high quality skin lotion with healing properties. It is extracted from the nuts of the local Shea tree.
Black people are extremely clean! My husband is black and they will shower, bathe at least twice a day! They are very meticulous about their hygiene, even more than me ...In the 33 plus years, I've been married to my husband it's very rare for him to take less than two showers per day! Definitely, no shoes are worn indoors ever! We live in the USA and also live globally too because of our careers! All of our black friends are the same with hygiene! Chinese and Many white people have the worst personal hygiene ever, Including in North America and also other countries are atrocious! I'm not trying to be racist by any means but black people have the most beautiful skin and teeth etc. We've been hosted at huts all the way to kingdoms where black people live and they all still pride themselves in personal hygiene! Bathing and handwashing are almost like a ritual it can take a minimum of two plus hours or more!
Please tell that to the black people in Germany who tend to be noticeably smelly. lololol The amount of black people I see with terrible skin also didn't seem to have gotten that notice. Maybe you are projecting from your husband? Or maybe your husband knows that he's smell funky because of his high testosterone and that is why he showers that much?
@@phangirlable Blacks have different bacteria colonizing their armpits, and hence have a different smell other races find objectionable. Race is not just skin color. Diet also factors into body odor.
@@phangirlable this Guy ! I bet the only black people u've been around is a personne seeking for refugee status (not saying all refugees smell bad) Take People from Congo or blacks from cuba brasil etc... They take really good care of themselves, wether it is by appearance, education or hygiene !!! The germans have a special way to be... Dont like to be reminded of their cringy past during the last world war,call it a cliché, yet they lump all arabs and muslims in the same bag. I live in western Europe too, and i can tell by observation that black people spend alot of money on fashion luxury accessoires and hygienic products
My takeaway from these comments is that hygiene is more cultural than racial. In some places the black people are very clean and the surrounding white people are dirty, other places it’s the reverse, other places they behave the same. Not all white people everywhere share the same culture, even within the US there are distinctive regional subcultures that have nothing to do with race. I assume it’s the same with other races, I’ve just never lived near a large enough population of Asian people to generalize their behaviors vs that of the surrounding culture.
@@virtualtransientvagrant Its just weird that when they talked about body hair, they only talked about it with respect to women. As if body hair is only a hygiene concern if its on a woman.
I feel like breaking down reading comments from 2 months ago. Never in a million years would I have thought life would turn upside down. I only just recently recovered from this virus.

Garlic is good for your health as it contains anti-oxidant, you will never get cancer. Mexicans love it, Italians love it, Indians love it and Chinese also love it. Always remember to brush your teeth after eating, thank you!
@@icebaby6714 Teeth brushing doesn't help if you sweat as garlic chump for a mile ahead. Bye bye dating with some who didn't eat garlic in that day in evening.
Currently living in NYC and stopped going to this chinese restaurant as the staff would be hawking and spitting in a bin right in front of customers. Grossed me out so bad. YUCK!
I was on a China Eastern flight from Shanghai, the dude in the aisle across consistently blew his nose onto the floor, wipe his nose with his fingers and wipe it onthe seat in front. He also constantly snort snot back from his nose and cough up flem and spit it on the floor in front of his wifes seat next to him.
王子 no, you sweat more without the hair, because then it’s just sweaty skin against sweaty skin when your arms are down, or armpit skin rubbing directly on your shirt, creating immediate sweat stains. There’s no real hygienic reason to shave, it just comes down to each persons personal aesthetic preference.
😹😹😹😹 She's lucky.... But we will find dirty people in the 4 corners of the world by looking well ... or by not having a butcher's nose ... 😉 The ones I know are clean to me or with me ... Well I think ...😏... 🤫
My employer brings in summer help, mostly from China and some of those young ladies had terrible breath (most were appx 18-21 or 22) I also heard their dorm's where they stay for the summer were trashed af. The 2 Filipino girls and the girl from Africa kind of cliqued up against the Chinese girls, possibly due to their hygiene/uncleanliness.
7:40 In Europe, it's illegal to cross the zebra crossing line while pedestrians are crossing, but I suppose it's impossible to apply this rule in this country with such a chaotic traffic.
it's very much illegal in the netherlands, but Amsterdam is so congested the cars don't give a fvck. Next time you're over, come to Apeldoorn! There isn't anything to do but we have trees and the weed's half the price but just as good.
I live in Russia and people here tend to OVERUSE their perfume (no matter the gender or cleanliness). And in public this is equal to the "garlic breath" situation you guys describe. Luckily, people who do that are not the majority.
As we use to say in Mexico when somebody is shrouded in a cloud of perfume: you emptied the whole 20 cents on you. In the old days you could go to the general store and just buy 20 cents of perfume to get like half a litter of some cheap concoction very offensive to a regularly sensitive nose.
I don’t like to shave my armpits because it irritates my skin and it has to be done almost daily to keep the hair from regrowing. I feel it’s a double standard. Some men (and women) like the smell of body odor. I don’t but I did shave mine for a decade before I decided to stop. I don’t shave my legs anymore either. In summer I’ll wax my lower leg only and then in early fall I let it grow.
To me, heavy garlic use produces a similar constant smell as when people stop using underarm deodorant for a week. But that is nothing compared to the smell of Indian curry. I love Asian Indians, but if they home-cook with real curry, their clothing and homes just REEK of it. I recall a bank teller whose only contact with me was through the little holes in the bullet-proof glass but the curry smell was just shooting at me through them. I once had to move out of an apartment because the couple downstairs cooked with it 2 or 3 times a week and it seeped through the old-fashioned air vents. :-0
My wife is Vietnamese and I have spent a fair bit of time travelling there it's not uncommon for some to have 3 showers a day during warmer months as you just stink by midday. The traffic isn't as scary as it seems. Just need to understand the flow.
i worked with a vietnam vet and he told me about a guy in siagon walkin in front of him in black pajamas. the guy kept shakin his right leg while walkin and then a big loaf rolled out of his leg onto the street. he said he felt like beating the guy. he was a very angry man from the war
C'mon, don't you know esthetics are in the eye of the beholder and that different beholders disagree on what constitutes it? Don't get self important and try to make your opinions on them into a MORALITY. German women didn't shave their legs or armpits until the '90s because it was considered a sign of prostitution. I, personally, very much prefer pubic hair, for example. I want a grown woman, not a prepubescent girl. Most men my age, from before the recent trend to shave it, initiated to create insecurity in women to profit the hair removal industry, came into fashion, feel similarly.
Garlic smell... I work closely as a mechanic with a Vietnamese dude. We had to bring him aside and and talk to him about his INTENSE garlic smell. I don't know how he cant smell it on himself. It was unbearable to work within 5 feet from him. Now he uses some bad smelling deodorant to mask it. Bad, but MUCH more tolerable. He's a good dude.
5:30 I grew up in the US and still never understood showering only in the morning. How do you comfortably get into bed with all that sweat and grime from a day’s work 🤢 the last time I didn’t shower before bed was probably when I got injured and wasn’t physically able to
Because most people don’t get “dirty” over the course of the day, and you’re supposed to wash your sheets weekly anyhow. How do you get grossed out by something so trivial, it’s not like there’s going to be stains in your bed?
They do the rotting kids' teeth thing in Japan too! They actually take it one step further and give them toothpaste with sugar in it as a training aid to get them used to brushing their teeth.
I retired, from the U.S., now living in Manila Philippines. Hot muggy climate. Hygiene here is acceptable. Most people in the provinces do not have showers, but they use a bucket of water and a dipper called a Tabo. I have showered this way many times and find it refreshing. More interesting is the traffic. What I view you experiencing in this video would be a relaxing day on the streets of Manila. Arguable the worse traffic in the world. But I enjoy it, I ride a bicycle. Thanks.
As a portuguese national, I can confirm we do shower every other day (showering daily is bad for your skin and hair) and I've never heard of the concept of a "Portuguese shower" hahaha
It might be bad for your skin and hair when you always use soaps and shampoo. Daily showers and soaping smelly parts only is great for my skin and health.
“When my wife 👩🏻💼 breathes in the house 🏠 it smells like a garlic 🧄 Dutch Oven!” Mrs. SerpentZA expects a new LV purse 👜 when you return from your trip Bro....
The personal hygiene issue I noticed the most in China was clothes. My host family all got new outfits for New Year's and then wore those outfits every day for 2 weeks. At least that was on the winter. My boss at my internship, middle of the summer in hot Xi'an, wore the same outfit every day for a month before changing into a new outfit. That he then wore for several weeks. I'll rewear jeans a few times between washes if they don't get too dirty, but everything else is one wear!
your examples are extreme but that does happen here. that being said, I think wearing the inner layers/middle layers of winter clothing many times is good in many ways. (time, money, environment)
@SerpentZA its called sunlight soap, its a cheap large green multipurpose block of soap. Its not butter!!!!! :D It has a timber like smell, not very parfumy but it does the job. Its a
Sounds like the stuff everyone had in the 80's in Finland when I was a kid. The green Sunlight soap bars are still available, but are not so commonly used anymore. Probably it's because it's considered more hygienic to have fluid soap that will be flushed down after use, unlike the bar that can have some of the dirt stuck in it.
i have great hygiene. i always take a shower and change my underwear, once a month whether i need to are not. brush my teeth every week. one question what is deodorant?
I've never met a Chinese person who didn't have bad breath. Even super rich cute young girls. It was pretty damn bad. In my experience even young men had poor body odor and don't really care. I worked with a guy whose feet would stink and he would just remove his shoes wherever. And as someone mentioned, the girls don't shave down there. But I don't particularly mind that, it's kind of an adventure.
It's a tropical country where you sweat all day long you stupid morron so it makes perfect sense to shower several times a day ! Are you going to shower 3 times a day when it's minus 25 like Canada during wintertime ?!
I spent 12-13 years traveling in Asia for business. A frequent travel location was S. Korea. My S.Korean colleagues and business associates told me to watch out for kimchi "dragon breath". Until I consumed the kimchi myself and it vanished... I know what you mean @beo wulf
@@techtalkmike4968 After my 1.5 year Korean language course, at the Defense Language Institute and Goodfellow AFB, I spent 3 tours in Korea, in the US Army. I spent many of time in the field being close to the local farmers and poor people of the country (1974 to 1983 time period). I know what you are saying... I still eat Kimchi to this day because of the probiotics it is good for in one's diet.
I wonder if there is a genetic element. Kimchi itself stinks, but I've never noticed bad breath in Korea. I can say Koreans are very conscious of being branded garlic or kimchi smelling in the west, so careful what you say if you don't want to hurt them
Dated a girl who went from "country girl" to "city feminist" in about a year and a half. The difference in her hygiene was IMMENSE. from clean shaven and well kept, to hairy and rather off putting. Hope you don't get too much flack for that comment Winston!
@@sir_marlfox Also gives your hair time to get some of its natural healthy oils back after the shampoo strips them away. I used to shower in the morning and my hair would always be dry, static-y and straw-like for most of the day, even with conditioner and product. Now I shower at night and by the time I'm waking up my hair has a healthy sheen but isn't 'greasy', Just natural and healthy looking. And if your bed messes up your hair, you can just wet it down and towel dry real quick, still faster than taking an entire shower in the morning. Switching to night showers made a world of difference for me.
As an American, we ain't exactly perfect either. I have noticed its about 50/50 whether people in my area really take care of their hands/nails. I'm not talking manicures, just nails being trimmed neatly and clean.
When I first meet my wife she also had armpit hair. She now shaves it now. She is from north China. I’ve noticed quite a few Chinese women not shave there
Consider this. In the West, prior to the end of the Victorian age, no one shaved their body hair. And you do know, or ought to, what was the purpose of carrying a ready supply of smelling salts in your purse. Right?
i used to grow hair on my legs up to my knees, but hair stopped growing there after my time in the Army. i think it had something to do with the routine icing of my legs as i was suffering from shin splints on the regular. i can barely see 1-3 hairs on each leg and they grow so slowly i may shave them off when i'm super bored after several months.
Im a guy in the USA and when I was about 18 I discovered that if I trimed my armpit hair short I rarely needed deodorant unless I drank alcohol or ate meat for several consecutive days. DONT shave it, or you'll then need to apply lotion multiple times to avoid ingrown hairs. Instead I just trim it short with the beard triming attachment on my electric razor. Also, I also try to only eat meat 2 times per week (Not always successful). There are lots of other things that can be done as well like drinking a little apple cider vinegar each day. And use a body wash with grapefruit seed extract in it such as "Puracy-citrus grove" baby shampoo/body wash. And if you still need deodotant...Hands down THE BEST deodorant IN THE WORLD is a product called "Lavilin" underarm cream! I used to order it from a military surplus catalog when I was a kid. The company eventually got bought by "Now foods" and repackaged in a new container but its still called Lavilin. You only need to apply once per week in hot sweaty climates and every 2 weeks in winter. That stuff is no joke, it actually works. The best part is its entirely natural with no weird chemicals...spoiler, its mostly grapefruit seed extract.
The topic of shower in China is like weekly discussion in the Chinese forum. And it is always ended up North VS South. With the northerners insist that no sweating in the cold winter therefore no need shower. Whereas the southerners argued that there are still something coming out of the skin no matter how cold. At the end, no party can totally agree with other party, and it goes on and on like loop every so often.......
Hmm. It's surprisingly upsetting to hear you guys say women not shaving is "gross" and especially the oddball idea that leg hair is a hygiene issue. 🤔 Odd stuff!
To get rid of garlic breath eat some dry popcorn, the dry abrasion will remove it from your mouth. Also you can eat two table spoons of ground flax seeds it will help get rid of the smell. Or go a whole plant based way of eating, digestion will speed up and the smell will not linger. Seems to be when eating animal products it make the garlic smell stay longer.
On the hairy legs/armpits topic - it's annoying to me when people are extremely onesided on the issue. Like just women have to shave, but guys can look like freaking bigfoot if they like. It is mostly an aesthetic thing, but western culture has started to influence Asia as well, so women there have started to shave too. I think it's also a cultural thing, nobody gave a fuck about body hair on women like 100 years ago, but now if you don't remove it you're just...weird and gross. And I'm not feminist enough to go against the system and grow it all out, because my western upbringing has conditioned me to think of it as unattractive. 🤷🏻♀️
I can’t stand armpit hair but I often don’t shave my legs for weeks at a time. Especially in the winter. 🤷🏼♀️ I just tell my husband to deal with it. I’d say I’d shave them more when he did but he used to be a swimmer so he’d shave his legs in a heartbeat.
Shaving causes a lot of irritation and in grown hairs in the armpit too. Very rarely will you be able to get fully smooth underarms like how they do in commercials because of that.
They are actually remarkably robust. And there's even a guard around the valve. (And depending on how the valve is designed, should that get damaged in a very unlikely case, the bottle might just spin. There's no way it can explode under Vietnamese road traffic conditions. You'd have to cook it in a refinery fire or such, and even that might just make it release its contents.)
Japan: They're obsessed with hand cleanliness. Even after washing, they still don't trust their own hands. You can be certain your meal was prepared with clean hands. And notice the white gloves used in certain occupations like train drivers. And yeah, I ❤ these conversations with crazy scenery thrown in, so I subbed.
the thing about smells is that if it comes from a food that is culturally eaten daily, then they probably don't notice the smell themselves. we as humans tend to get used to smells, if you and your spouse stay in the house for a week without showering, you probably don't notice each others' smells because you've gotten used to it, but if you leave the house you can bet other people will notice it. This is the reason that tourists from different cultures may smell funny to locals all over the world, I'm sure westerners (me being part of it) may smell different to eastern people as well.
Yeah, I was surprised it bothered them too. Asian girls don't exactly have massive bear beards in their armpits and nor do their pits smell particularly.
While spending time in Thailand’s Northeast Isaan area. The rice farming families are super clean. They shower three times a day and brush her teeth consistently. I think it has something to do with them being Theravada Buddhist.
China Breath is seriously bad - I’ve been on metros where I’ve been so close to vomiting, that I’ve had to get off early. I’ve never experienced such bad breath anywhere else in the world, it’s soooo bad! What I don’t understand is can they not smell how bad it is, or do they just not tell their wives/husbands/friends/family etc? It’s baffling 🤢
tbh it shows that both of you spent so much time somewhere else. Which I like, otherwise I wouldn’t get all these informative videos. And I get it, you don’t like armpit hair on women - it’s an esthetic thing. But if a woman decides to keep her armpit hair short (and trim it) because her skin gets irritated every time she shaves it - she’s instead has got do it for the men? It just sounds like they have to comply, otherwise she’s “disgusting”. You’re not disgusting just because you have body hair. I think it’s just a question of whether you have to follow everything society tells you to do. I much rather have a happy woman next to me that has a couple of hairs under her pits than an irritated one because she has to look good for me. And come on. It’s not even about feminism you guys - it’s about letting people not have to do a dance just to make someone else happy. It’s just about letting them be who they wanna be. I feel like society has put women down for long enough. At the same time I’m pledging to make painted nails on men acceptable. You don’t have to like it, just support the people who want to do it. It doesn’t hurt anyone.
Small addition on the garlic thing: I’ve got pills (plant-based) that erase the garlic and onion smells that come up through the throat. In Germany they’re called “Stozzon”. You can look them up. It cancels out the smell within half an hour, so you can be confident to have garlic bread for lunch and a meeting an hour later without having any inconvenience. Just thought that might help with future occasions 😊
My wife also has terrible garlic breath for days after eating anything with garlic. I spot it from meters, even outdoors. I thougt I was just too sensitive about this smell but you say it's maybe digestion related? I rarely notice it on other people.
Hey, since you guys are in Vietnam, you could visit the guitar master Thanh Điền. He's is an old gentleman born blind who mastered acoustic guitars and has many singers visit him. Maybe even go and meet that other guy Gau Le who plays tambourine.
My Chinese wife, and relatives. Like to talk over each other, with their mouths full of food. Burp, cough, etc. It feels so uncivilized. The bad teeth don’t help, either. They are good people. But I’ll never get used to, the ‘manners’.
I'm Portuguese and I never have heard the term Portuguese Shower. I did research and it means when someone bathes themselves in deodorant to mask the bad smell of the at the end of the day, before going out. Most portuguese people shower everyday. I assume the portuguese shower comes when people go straight from work to have a night out in the summer.
Shower at night after work so your home or bed stay clean. So if you like to shower to wake up do it twice a day. My wife is Chinese from Aksu up in Northern China and has no arm or leg hair she has beautiful long head of hair and small amount elsewhere. Happy New Year guys to you and your family's. Never heard of Portuguese shower but have heard it called sponge bathing. I really hated hopscotching around gobs of snot on the sidewalk in China.

i don't understand ? does u not talking make them less inclined to talk to you so you don't smell it ?
Actually bad breath has more to due to gut health, more then brushing of teeth. Actually the Chinese seem to do fairly well teeth wise compare to the USA were you have children getting root canals by the age of 10 years old due to sugar drinks and diet. But the Chinese do not eat as much sugar or sweets like we do..The Chinese diet would be more healthier if the food was grown safe and safety maintain until sold. I do not see having fresh meat sitting outside in the open at room temperature for hours with everyone touching it as being safe. The germ from the hands can be cook off but the bacteria from sitting outside cannot.

@@juliusuzutunda It's a media and university brainwashing thing. It wasn't all about race in the 80's or early 90's. Newsweek reported in 1993 that most southern blacks (I think the interviews were done in Georgia) did not feel like racism was a huge issue anymore. It existed but it wasn't a big enough issue to really complain about. This was before the talk of institutional racism. It was around 2000 I began hearing about institutional racism and on and on. I thought, "What the heck are they talking about?" Nowadays that's just "normal" thinking. I was taught that being color blind is the right way. But now it's all about race. Color blindness is out.
When I was teaching in the Jiangsu province about 14 years ago, I gave an oral exam to my middle schoolers at the end of the semester. It was a test of facial muscle control for me because of the oral hygiene issues y'all mentioned. But then I had this one gem of a student who had put on cologne and either had brushed his teeth really well or sucked on a breath mint right before his turn for the exam because out of all my students (I had nearly 800) he was the only one whose breath didn't stink.
The Chinese seem to have lot more teeth in old age then American do. Also bad breath has to do with gut health so it could be cause by what they are eating.

Shaving armpits in the west wasn’t at thing until the 1920s. Like pushing diamonds as a “tradition” so were grooming standards imposed by marketing departments.
I agree that hair removal has been marketed to the masses as the only way to be pretty, but people have always appreciated smooth skin (especially on women) and have trimmed or removed body hair as well as they could for all of recorded history, and certainly even longer. Even if full-body hair removal hasn't been practical on a daily basis for more than a hundred years or so, it's not like you need advanced technology to pull stray hairs. Like all forms of grooming, hair management is a way of advertising how well you maintain your health and thus how desirable you are as a mate. Hell, there are stories in the Bible about brides-to-be having their "virgin hairs" (i.e. pubes) removed before their wedding day.
Yeah but it looks more feminine. The diamond thing is a total scam though.
No shit, because it wasn't as viable, especially for the average person, to do this. Doesn't mean it wasn't practised and viewed as a sign of prosperity, like other practices.
I still prefer women with armpit, arm and leg hair, though. Not bushy like a man but the lower amounts women tend to have I do.
Exactly! It's already been a tradition in ancient Egypt, Rome, Greece and Persia (and probably more cultures) to do even full body hair removal. Hell, they had beauticians in ancient Rome in the baths who would pluck the hair out with tweezers one by one. lol

Black people are extremely clean! My husband is black and they will shower, bathe at least twice a day! They are very meticulous about their hygiene, even more than me ...In the 33 plus years, I've been married to my husband it's very rare for him to take less than two showers per day! Definitely, no shoes are worn indoors ever! We live in the USA and also live globally too because of our careers! All of our black friends are the same with hygiene! Chinese and Many white people have the worst personal hygiene ever, Including in North America and also other countries are atrocious! I'm not trying to be racist by any means but black people have the most beautiful skin and teeth etc. We've been hosted at huts all the way to kingdoms where black people live and they all still pride themselves in personal hygiene! Bathing and handwashing are almost like a ritual it can take a minimum of two plus hours or more!
Please tell that to the black people in Germany who tend to be noticeably smelly. lololol The amount of black people I see with terrible skin also didn't seem to have gotten that notice. Maybe you are projecting from your husband? Or maybe your husband knows that he's smell funky because of his high testosterone and that is why he showers that much?

I live in western Europe too, and i can tell by observation that black people spend alot of money on fashion luxury accessoires and hygienic products
My takeaway from these comments is that hygiene is more cultural than racial. In some places the black people are very clean and the surrounding white people are dirty, other places it’s the reverse, other places they behave the same. Not all white people everywhere share the same culture, even within the US there are distinctive regional subcultures that have nothing to do with race. I assume it’s the same with other races, I’ve just never lived near a large enough population of Asian people to generalize their behaviors vs that of the surrounding culture.
Leg shaving hasn't got anything to do with hygiene, though. It's 100% aesthetic thing.

Some men say that armpit hair on a woman doesn't gross them out. They're all lying.
Bingo! 😂
Men and women should remove armpit hair, besides aesthetic reasons it prevents you from sweating more
王子 no, you sweat more without the hair, because then it’s just sweaty skin against sweaty skin when your arms are down, or armpit skin rubbing directly on your shirt, creating immediate sweat stains.
There’s no real hygienic reason to shave, it just comes down to each persons personal aesthetic preference.

I live in Russia and people here tend to OVERUSE their perfume (no matter the gender or cleanliness). And in public this is equal to the "garlic breath" situation you guys describe. Luckily, people who do that are not the majority.
True, no amount of perfume can his the smell of sweat, bad breath etc but when cheap perfume and sweat mix lol that's the worst also 😂😂
As we use to say in Mexico when somebody is shrouded in a cloud of perfume: you emptied the whole 20 cents on you. In the old days you could go to the general store and just buy 20 cents of perfume to get like half a litter of some cheap concoction very offensive to a regularly sensitive nose.
i dont really wear perfume but my sister on the the other hand bathe herself in perfume. it smells good but after awhile it gets sickening
I don’t like to shave my armpits because it irritates my skin and it has to be done almost daily to keep the hair from regrowing. I feel it’s a double standard. Some men (and women) like the smell of body odor.
I don’t but I did shave mine for a decade before I decided to stop. I don’t shave my legs anymore either. In summer I’ll wax my lower leg only and then in early fall I let it grow.
To me, heavy garlic use produces a similar constant smell as when people stop using underarm deodorant for a week. But that is nothing compared to the smell of Indian curry. I love Asian Indians, but if they home-cook with real curry, their clothing and homes just REEK of it. I recall a bank teller whose only contact with me was through the little holes in the bullet-proof glass but the curry smell was just shooting at me through them. I once had to move out of an apartment because the couple downstairs cooked with it 2 or 3 times a week and it seeped through the old-fashioned air vents. :-0
My wife is Vietnamese and I have spent a fair bit of time travelling there it's not uncommon for some to have 3 showers a day during warmer months as you just stink by midday. The traffic isn't as scary as it seems. Just need to understand the flow.

German women didn't shave their legs or armpits until the '90s because it was considered a sign of prostitution. I, personally, very much prefer pubic hair, for example. I want a grown woman, not a prepubescent girl.

The personal hygiene issue I noticed the most in China was clothes. My host family all got new outfits for New Year's and then wore those outfits every day for 2 weeks. At least that was on the winter. My boss at my internship, middle of the summer in hot Xi'an, wore the same outfit every day for a month before changing into a new outfit. That he then wore for several weeks. I'll rewear jeans a few times between washes if they don't get too dirty, but everything else is one wear!
your examples are extreme but that does happen here. that being said, I think wearing the inner layers/middle layers of winter clothing many times is good in many ways. (time, money, environment)

Sounds like the stuff everyone had in the 80's in Finland when I was a kid. The green Sunlight soap bars are still available, but are not so commonly used anymore. Probably it's because it's considered more hygienic to have fluid soap that will be flushed down after use, unlike the bar that can have some of the dirt stuck in it.

i used to grow hair on my legs up to my knees, but hair stopped growing there after my time in the Army. i think it had something to do with the routine icing of my legs as i was suffering from shin splints on the regular. i can barely see 1-3 hairs on each leg and they grow so slowly i may shave them off when i'm super bored after several months.

Im a guy in the USA and when I was about 18 I discovered that if I trimed my armpit hair short I rarely needed deodorant unless I drank alcohol or ate meat for several consecutive days. DONT shave it, or you'll then need to apply lotion multiple times to avoid ingrown hairs. Instead I just trim it short with the beard triming attachment on my electric razor. Also, I also try to only eat meat 2 times per week (Not always successful). There are lots of other things that can be done as well like drinking a little apple cider vinegar each day. And use a body wash with grapefruit seed extract in it such as "Puracy-citrus grove" baby shampoo/body wash. And if you still need deodotant...Hands down THE BEST deodorant IN THE WORLD is a product called "Lavilin" underarm cream! I used to order it from a military surplus catalog when I was a kid. The company eventually got bought by "Now foods" and repackaged in a new container but its still called Lavilin. You only need to apply once per week in hot sweaty climates and every 2 weeks in winter. That stuff is no joke, it actually works. The best part is its entirely natural with no weird chemicals...spoiler, its mostly grapefruit seed extract.

The topic of shower in China is like weekly discussion in the Chinese forum. And it is always ended up North VS South. With the northerners insist that no sweating in the cold winter therefore no need shower. Whereas the southerners argued that there are still something coming out of the skin no matter how cold. At the end, no party can totally agree with other party, and it goes on and on like loop every so often.......
Hmm. It's surprisingly upsetting to hear you guys say women not shaving is "gross" and especially the oddball idea that leg hair is a hygiene issue. 🤔 Odd stuff!
To get rid of garlic breath eat some dry popcorn, the dry abrasion will remove it from your mouth. Also you can eat two table spoons of ground flax seeds it will help get rid of the smell. Or go a whole plant based way of eating, digestion will speed up and the smell will not linger. Seems to be when eating animal products it make the garlic smell stay longer.
On the hairy legs/armpits topic - it's annoying to me when people are extremely onesided on the issue. Like just women have to shave, but guys can look like freaking bigfoot if they like. It is mostly an aesthetic thing, but western culture has started to influence Asia as well, so women there have started to shave too.
I think it's also a cultural thing, nobody gave a fuck about body hair on women like 100 years ago, but now if you don't remove it you're just...weird and gross. And I'm not feminist enough to go against the system and grow it all out, because my western upbringing has conditioned me to think of it as unattractive. 🤷🏻♀️
Hair is arguably unsightly on both sexes
So if a man uses this argument, he should probably shave his pits too :/
I can’t stand armpit hair but I often don’t shave my legs for weeks at a time. Especially in the winter. 🤷🏼♀️ I just tell my husband to deal with it. I’d say I’d shave them more when he did but he used to be a swimmer so he’d shave his legs in a heartbeat.
Shaving causes a lot of irritation and in grown hairs in the armpit too. Very rarely will you be able to get fully smooth underarms like how they do in commercials because of that.
I really don't see what's gross about it on either gender.
You must have a lot of boyfriends with that attitude
Shaving always gives me painful ingrown hairs and bumps no matter which way I try. Not always a chi or feminist thing....

Japan: They're obsessed with hand cleanliness. Even after washing, they still don't trust their own hands. You can be certain your meal was prepared with clean hands.

That's why Japanese have less co-vid 19 cases.
Taking a shower before work is they way I get energized and ready to go
the thing about smells is that if it comes from a food that is culturally eaten daily, then they probably don't notice the smell themselves. we as humans tend to get used to smells, if you and your spouse stay in the house for a week without showering, you probably don't notice each others' smells because you've gotten used to it, but if you leave the house you can bet other people will notice it. This is the reason that tourists from different cultures may smell funny to locals all over the world, I'm sure westerners (me being part of it) may smell different to eastern people as well.
The hair on a woman holds her scent, if you boys don't like that, well, I don't know what to tell you. Pity your wives.
Yeah, I was surprised it bothered them too. Asian girls don't exactly have massive bear beards in their armpits and nor do their pits smell particularly.

While spending time in Thailand’s Northeast Isaan area. The rice farming families are super clean. They shower three times a day and brush her teeth consistently. I think it has something to do with them being Theravada Buddhist.
Floral jumpsuits will be the new advchina uniforms 🤣🤣🤣
China Breath is seriously bad - I’ve been on metros where I’ve been so close to vomiting, that I’ve had to get off early. I’ve never experienced such bad breath anywhere else in the world, it’s soooo bad! What I don’t understand is can they not smell how bad it is, or do they just not tell their wives/husbands/friends/family etc? It’s baffling 🤢
Whew that bus!
The worst turn off🤣🤣🤣
Whew the whole traffic! 😵
it happens to me everyday in china
Is it bad that I find funny watching these guys almost piss themselves seeing what I see on a regular basis?
I’ll never understand why you dropped the song “I Remember You”… it was a classic!! ❤
C-milk your speedometer is all over the place!
I'm transcending time and space

tbh it shows that both of you spent so much time somewhere else. Which I like, otherwise I wouldn’t get all these informative videos. And I get it, you don’t like armpit hair on women - it’s an esthetic thing. But if a woman decides to keep her armpit hair short (and trim it) because her skin gets irritated every time she shaves it - she’s instead has got do it for the men? It just sounds like they have to comply, otherwise she’s “disgusting”. You’re not disgusting just because you have body hair. I think it’s just a question of whether you have to follow everything society tells you to do. I much rather have a happy woman next to me that has a couple of hairs under her pits than an irritated one because she has to look good for me. And come on. It’s not even about feminism you guys - it’s about letting people not have to do a dance just to make someone else happy. It’s just about letting them be who they wanna be. I feel like society has put women down for long enough. At the same time I’m pledging to make painted nails on men acceptable. You don’t have to like it, just support the people who want to do it. It doesn’t hurt anyone.
Small addition on the garlic thing: I’ve got pills (plant-based) that erase the garlic and onion smells that come up through the throat. In Germany they’re called “Stozzon”. You can look them up. It cancels out the smell within half an hour, so you can be confident to have garlic bread for lunch and a meeting an hour later without having any inconvenience. Just thought that might help with future occasions 😊
Glad face mask are socially acceptable in China 😷 since i have a powerful nose I’ll be wearing one
The Nose indicates you're wealthy and big-brained in China, fly it with pride.
Ever been to a convention (I heard furry ones are real good)
My wife also has terrible garlic breath for days after eating anything with garlic. I spot it from meters, even outdoors. I thougt I was just too sensitive about this smell but you say it's maybe digestion related? I rarely notice it on other people.
YAY!!! New video! Woot woot! One of the highlights of my week. Is that sad? 🤔 lol
nope
My Chinese wife is OCD on cleanliness, not only on her person but also the house. At times it’s over the top and can drive me mad. She is still great.
That looks like a really fun “bike ride”! LOL It actually looks more like a live game of Frogger”.
When you thought that Asians are bad drive, but in reality, they have to be a god at driving to survive on the road.
Hey, since you guys are in Vietnam, you could visit the guitar master Thanh Điền.
He's is an old gentleman born blind who mastered acoustic guitars and has many singers visit him.
Maybe even go and meet that other guy Gau Le who plays tambourine.
11:14 dude blown out his nose THEN uses tissue to wipe off hands
Is riding better in Taiwan or Vietnam?
Taiwan hands down
My Chinese wife, and relatives. Like to talk over each other, with their mouths full of food. Burp, cough, etc. It feels so uncivilized. The bad teeth don’t help, either.
They are good people. But I’ll never get used to, the ‘manners’.
I'm Portuguese and I never have heard the term Portuguese Shower. I did research and it means when someone bathes themselves in deodorant to mask the bad smell of the at the end of the day, before going out. Most portuguese people shower everyday. I assume the portuguese shower comes when people go straight from work to have a night out in the summer.
When winston said that women are obligated to shave their armpits, I lost all respect for him. Not cool, bro.
I wonder when was the last time he shaved his disgusting armpit and leg hair.
Shower at night after work so your home or bed stay clean. So if you like to shower to wake up do it twice a day. My wife is Chinese from Aksu up in Northern China and has no arm or leg hair she has beautiful long head of hair and small amount elsewhere. Happy New Year guys to you and your family's. Never heard of Portuguese shower but have heard it called sponge bathing. I really hated hopscotching around gobs of snot on the sidewalk in China.
Shea butter?
In Brazil, if you have enough water, it's normal to shower twice a day. In summer, the number goes up. And very few places don't have the water
warn a brother before posting rotten teeth like that blergh D:
