<I suppose there is hardly any flu or colds or pneumonia elsewhere, huh???> Well Bubba, there is a huge amount of hoiking and spitting. You come up with a better theory on why they do it. You need scungy stuff in your lungs to do a good hoik. The air is disgusting and toilets are no great shakes either. Sure, the public toilets are worse in India, but not much. Down in the Hutong, beijingservice.com it's fairly fundamental. Even the dunny by a children's playground in Tientsin looks similar to a chimps' cage at a zoo, though the chimps' cage would be cleaner because it gets hosed out fairly often. They are not like the public toilets on the Swiss highways, which are admittedly also somewhat deficient in that they don't yet have WiFi installed, shaving equipment, shower gel and clean cotton towels provided. The engine room of the world is not equivalent to a smoothly-running General Electric turbine powering a heavy jet in the stratosphere.
