Me: My bad smell? OK…
Korean guy: Western people think Koreans are stinky because they smell like garlic, no? But that is a normal thing here, so it is not a bad or weird.
Me: So I smell bad?
Korean guy: Yes. How many times do you use deodorant?
Me: Usually one time in the morning.
Korean guy: That's not enough. That's why you smell bad.
Me: What!? You expect me to apply it every four hours or something?
Korean guy: No, that's still not enough. You must use it every hour or two.
Me: That's too much.
Korean guy: No, you can't say that. That is normal thing here so you must do it.

On an interesting side note, the 'flower men' of South Korea make up less than 1% of the global male population yet account for over 20% of male cosmetic sales worldwide.
