    I used to work part time with a carpet fitter so I've been in hundreds of different houses. One thing that we always noticed was the smell that was in the houses occupied by foreign national. Not a dirty smell, its usual from the food they eat but my God it was pungent. Not meaning to sound racist or anything but I dont know how they can live it them homes with such a stench. And what sort of food leave homes so toxic, certainly cant be too good for the body!

    Ah - the classic utterance you hear before a racist comment.

    Not sure if this is trolling or not but diet affects smell and if they're from a very different culture they'll smell different.

    Western people smell awful to some cultures because we consume so much dairy. Same goes for other people.

    That is very true, some Indian friends of ours say most Irish people and their homes smel of dairy, but not ours because we use lots of spices in cooking.;)

    OP has asked and answered his own question. Is there a need for it to go further?

    This.

    We just don't notice it because we're so used to it.

    We all smell different and are all beautiful. A wonderful bouquet of humanity playing with each other arm in arm. Dancing through life. All colours, creeds, religions and genders. All one under the watchful eye of Obama. It's going to hit in any day now.
    On this one, I think it's best that we just leave it here before it gets thoroughly hi-jacked by some troll or other. People smell different. Get over it.
