Arm Pit Culture Shock

Coming from a country where it's a crying shame to have any kind of body hair at all (even for men, at times), living in Germany is a relief.

  1. I'M MOVING TO GERMANY.
    I know people will think it's gross, but really, IT'S SO TIRING (not to mention painfull, because wax is better than razors for that) to shave all your body all the time. Luckily it's cold in here so it's easier to get away without shaving, but when summer comes along, jesus, people treat it like the plague if they see any body hair on a girl.
    I mean, the excuse is that "it's gross". Really? I really don't buy it.

    1. Yeah, it's pretty tough for girls in Japan as well, and especially in Tokyo because you have to commute on the train in close proximity with lots of people. I use razors so it really irritates my skin so it really sucked. I mean, I still shave, but it's nice to know that I won't have to wallow in shame whenever I forget or miss a spot in Germany.
