How to deal with a runny nose in Japan?
It seems like people in Japan never blow their nose, even though they rather often catch a cold. People still use tissues to touch their nose or press it a bit, but never while blowing it. I remember a friend who came to Japan, who then blew his nose with a trumpet-like sound, triggering general hilarity among surrounding people. Everyday during winter you can see (and hear) people sniffling, it is not rare for co-workers with a cold to sniffle all day, and nobody seems to take offense, but I would rather avoid using that solution in order to stay concentrated on my tasks. So, how to deal with a runny nose in Japan?
