Can we talk about that fact that in Japan it's taboo to blow your nose in public?

I was reading a travel blog last night and found out that openly blowing your nose on the street is considered rude or gross there. Has anyone else run into a simple habit like this that was totally off-limits in another culture?

Wait, do they expect people to just sniffle all day?
