I was in the local swimming baths for my twice-weekly 45 minutes of leisurely breast-stroke. As I neared the far end I saw this gathering of gunk floating on the surface. At first, I dismissed it as a simple gathering of bubbles but as I got nearer, I realised it was in fact what must have a been a thorough clearing of someones's throat or nose - or perhaps both. It looked a little bit like the white version of all that seaweed that is taking over the Aegean sea.
I steered round it and ploughed on but my heart was no longer in it and I got out shortly after. It seems that the Japanese behave kindly and respectfully to their fellow humans in most situations, apart from when they're stealing bikes and umbrellas or not washing their hands in public lavatories. Added to this should now be creating oil-slick sized lakes of sputum in public baths. I haven't been back since.
