In Asia there is a lot of spitting going on, especially with the Chinese. This can take the form of a good long hoark followed but spit. It can also take the form of laying a finger aside one nostril and forcefully blowing the other out onto the street.
There are a lot of things that are different here that I just get used to. No big deal. But the whole obsession with getting a loogie of phlegm up and out, as a sign of good health, is just not one of them.
