Colbert and Steward, my two favourites!
Don't know how it's done in your part of the world but over here they come one after the other.
Now, to my worldly humanity saving friend.
Ahhh, you went back packing then Shadow Whisperer. It clearly must have been a long time ago. You must go with the times. By now it is Mandarin that you will find spoken mostly even in that former capital of Cantonese, called Hong Kong, where unlike you, I spend my days having afternoon teas at the Peninsula or wiggle my scrumptious butt to the beats at the Grand Hyatt's nightclub, while having a Martini, shaken not stirred, with Jacky Chan.
6 fabulous years covered in Dim Sum, Char Siu and roasted Duck with my apartment in Clearwater Bay. Good times.
And trust me, I would have also been staring if I walk into my garden and some ignorant British pom with a backpack would be taking a dumb on the hole I've just been digging to plant some Rosemary.
But yes, Bejing was famous for the fact that you don't walk but slide thru the city due to the "spitting" factor. But from what I hear, also that has changed by now.
They do get civilized slowly old chap.

I went backpacking in china during my gap year and Chinese people do eat anything that moves, do stare at you especially if you are a foreigner in fact one of my mates was using the local “facilities” consisting of a hole in the ground. He looked up and there was a small family standing there watching him take a dump. And Chinese people spit EVERYWHERE including on the floors of restaurants as we witnessed numerous times.
You do realise Stephen Colberts TV persona is a comic creation don't you? You aren't supposed to like or admire him you are supposed to regard him as an idiot not consider him an object of admiration fuckwit.
