"No Drugs and Nuclear Weapons Allowed"
-crap! I guess we have to go somewhere else guys! - This sign was in front of the hard-rock cafe - a joke I am sure?
The day I took this picture was the day I visited the doctor. I had been experiencing two weeks worth of intestine pains - I would wake up everyday and there would be a shot of pain through my lower abdomen...And I was beginning to get a sore throat. The service was great - they took my blood, they spoke english... I was unable to give a stool sample ... ahem, moving on. It was great service - until I found out that each individual test they performed was 30 USD! Total pricetag? About $380 - moral of the story - never get sick in China. Anyways, for the past week I've been sick in bed. This weekend I was coughing non-stop, trying to sleep -only to be awaken by coughing fits. The good news is the antibiotics for my stomach started working - however I just ran out and today the pain came back - but not as strong. I think my coughs have died down a tad bit too?? - Here's hoping I get well soon because I only have 4 weeks left in China!
But let's end on a happy note! I did a test run of a pancake breakfast yesterday to prepare for Canada Day - it went well! I didn't have to do most of the cooking haha - Wicki (the Danish Ceeder) and Natalie (the VP MD from austrailia/Finland) and Tracy (a girl from Shanghai) helped - a lot. We made banana pancakes - first time ever! We cooked it into the pancakes but in the end discovered that it was better to save the banana pieces as toppings... did this all on a gas stove - it was interesting...
Happy note number 2 - re-meeting Canadians that I met from past conferences in China. Karrolyn (Canadian Ceeder heading to Togo) dropped by and we had peking duck. She brought with her two Canadians - one who is currently working in Beijing (Chris), the other headed to Ghana (Rupert). I love how small the world is! It was an enjoyable blast from the past!
