Spit Freezes Too

The internet has been out at my guest house since Friday, so I’m blaming that for my lack of blogging the past few days.

I want this blog to be about an interesting phenomenon that I noticed a couple of weeks ago when I first walked around Ulaanbaatar. Like other Asian countries (I’m looking at you China), many people here spit anytime and anywhere they feel like it. However, because it is so cold the spit freezes, and is therefore left on the sidewalk and pavement for all to see, (presumably for many months to come). I’ve become strangely fascinated by the frozen spit all over the place and have therefore photo-documented it to share with all of you. Please enjoy the pictures of frozen spit.
