Default Wondering about International Differences

Okay this maybe a little un PC but here it goes.

We have had some people from the Czech Republic come in to observe our machining and assembly practices. Briggs and Stratton is building an assembly plant there somewhere (Cannot remember the name of the town to save my life) so we have to sort of 'show them the ropes' as it where.

Well there is something troubling me. These people have not been changing clothes or bathing on a regular basis, in fact I know for sure that one has not changed all week. There are tell tale signs since our machines are not the cleanest to work around.

Well I was wondering (and prob out of line for doing so) if this is a normal thing for that region of Europe or not. I know that Americans are sort of clean freaks most of the time and this might just be the people involved but since we have an international base I thought you might can fill me in.
