Another posting from Busan, South Korea, one that'll leave you with a lump in your throat:

South Koreans have gotta be the most phlegmatic people I've ever seen. Everywhere you go, you're treated to the basso rumbling of Korean men or women hawking and ralfing up a mouthful of yellow-white slime, which they then propel groundward heedless of their surroundings. This bittersweet symphony is particularly strident if you walk the Busan streets early in the morning (as I do, heading off to teach my 7 a.m. English class). I don't know what it is--something in the kimchi or other Korean foods that breeds this viscous harvest? The high rate of smokers in the country? The air pollution? Whatever the reason, it is not advisable to look down as you walk. Every few paces you will see something you'll wish you hadn't. Throat meat. Lung butter. Air pizza. It's EVERYWHERE.
