...is no fun! This is definitely not the country to get sick. The past 4 days were pretty tough. It cought me on my birthday (yuhuu, great timing ;-) and since then I am spending more time in the bathroom then elsewhere, but oh well, I guess that's the common risk you take when travelling here in these countries. Just that here noone understands you, you know!? 'I am sick, I need a doctor, hospital, do you know where?' Answer: "You want to go waterfall? Today ol tomollow? I have tuk tuk, only 4 Dollar, for you!!"
or
"Can I have the steamed rice with Chicken? But not spicy please I am sick!!" "yes yes..." what do I get? Chicken with Ginger and Chilli!! But I guess what doesn't kill you makes you only stronger!

Yeah, and after seen a clinic today, it definitely makes you appreciate our Western health standards back home! Wohoo. but i am settled with some pills, rehydration salts and diarrhea medication, which should bring me over the overnight busride tonight down to Vientiane. There I can stay with Karen in a real appartment (thanks so much, Karen!!) and hopefully cure it until Christmas! More tomorrow...
