Getting Sick in China- July 4

Well it had to happen sooner or later, I got sick. Somehow, I managed to catch a cold when the weather has been steaming hot for a few days in a row. My throat was very sore and I was on the verge of losing my voice. This would be a disaster for my teaching debut.

One of my teaching assistants went to buy some medicine for me. Some bitter tasting liquid and a couple of types of pills and capsules quickly appeared. The pills/capsules seem rather ordinary, but no words can describe the foul taste of the liquid potion.

My symptoms quickly disappeared after a day. Whew!
