The Japanese have an aversion to blowing their noses in public. I fucking HATE the cold season here when I have a half a dozen students sucking up nose oysters that are about to drop on the desk. Judging by the intensity of the snorts (this cannot be passed off as "sniffling") I would postulate that if one of those bad boys landed, the National Guard would be mobilized for flood control. I subtly encourage blowing by presenting the offenders with a box of tissues. It would be ruder for them to refuse a tissue from the teacher and discreetly blow than to keep "sniffing."
