In Japan it is considered unacceptable to blow your nose in public. For all I know it might be unacceptable in private also.
A lot of people wear those surgical masks in Japan. At first I thought it was people who were germophobes but I was told it was really the people who were sick. They were wearing the mask out of consideration for the people around them.
A polite people, the Japanese.
