Yes, the spitting...she said it was disgusting...they spit whenever, where ever
She also said that the people looked at westerners like attractns...they would walk up and want to take pictures with her and her boss, who is a large, blonde woman.
They wanted my friend to teach them English, no matter how brief the encounter (and how much they were complete strangers on the street).
I really never want to see it firsthand.
