I take it you haven`t been in a tour bus full of foreigners in August either then. Or on the packed NY subway *gasp and choke*.
I don`t know what it is, but it`s a completely different and much more unpleasant nose burning odor.
There are always people who stink, and being in a cramped space just amplifies it. Once foul odored person can make the whole train smell horrible.
But seriously, those tour buses gave me nightmares. I did interpretation for a bunch of them around the expo... They`d be saying "Japanese people smell like sushi! Harharhar!" while they often smelled like they`d been slathering themselves in vomit or something, then sprayed a squirt of perfume to cover it.
I have a number of horror stories from that experience, and, well, urgh. Being in another country doesn`t relieve you of the responsibility of keeping your body clean.
