I would if they were to bathe regularly.
Well, there is that problem. public transportation can smell a bit "sweaty" there but I noticed that while in the UK I was on some trains that stunk of rotting teeth.
Not too shocking but still....
Also I am cursed with an excellent sense of smell. I mean really , really good. Since I live in NYC that is unfortunate, Just as the French smell of Armpits and the Brits smell of bad dental work, NYC smells of urine. Dog urine, bum urine, girl-who-cannot-wait-in-line-for-the-toilet urine, little kid urine (in my neighborhood they toilet train then in the street) and horse urine. Not to mention dog and bum feces....and I can smell each varient of them. I can smell the difference between fresh dog pee and thawed. Yep, I am a pee somalier and it sucks. In England I would be a tooth rot somalier and in France I would be an armpit somalier (*sniffff*..."Ahh...Jean Luc..How was your week in Breton?)
I had the same experience in India but w/ feces, not urine. Elephant poop, human poop, etc
Re: Food in Corsica - Sounds like a plan. The Anthony Bourdain Sardinia episode had me drooling so would to a two-fer of both places and try and get fat on a trip for once.
