019 Strange But True

Binlang Xishi

Binlang Xishi, Betel Nut Girls, live in little glass houses along almost all highways. Though this one is not,  most are scantily clad. (We tried and failed to get a picture of one beauty who looked 12 years old except for the implants.) They sell a Betel Nut concoction, wrapped in a leaf that is a mild stimulant like nicotine. The worst byproduct of this phenomenon is red spittle. It soils the highways at every bus stop. Big red blotches where users spit the leftovers. The girls provide a spittle cup free. Drivers use it to collect spit then throw it out the window causing red splatches with big chunks, YUK!
