Hygenic Differences

This kind of thing would happen EVERY time I laid my eyes on some handsome guy. Every time. 
 
Hygenic norms are a bit different between the east and west. The point in China is to rid your body of all nasty, ill things, which is all good, minus the ways a lot of people choose to get rid of them. This involves growing out the pinkie nail to pick any crevice on your body (yup, I said ANY), snot rockets, and extraordinarily loud coughing up of who knows what. However, me coughing in my elbow when I would have a cold was seen as disgusting and unhygienic. Why would I cough my own germs on myself? Kind of has some sense to it but... I'm still divided.
