spitting by Jake

tchwoa! Thats the noise, or something like it, that many people on the street in China make. It happens when you have phloem in the back of your throat and you don't want it there. I don't want to come off sounding that I thought China was disgusting because I didn't. This, however, was one thing that got to me. So, instead of hearing that noise and then someone spitting, you don't hear anything else. Maybe it was just me and I was lucky enough to hear that over and over again, but it seemed like people had a bunch of stuff in their throats that they wanted out, but not out of their mouth. Weird. There was also spitting. People spitting everywhere. For some reason I think that there might be a fine for public spitting in the United States. Either way, spitting grosses me out a little bit and is one thing I wasn't fond of in China.
