sick in foreign land

Am in switzerland now...it's a nice place...environment here is good, weather is cool eventhough it's summer...according to my colleague, the hottest in switzerland this year was 30 degrees...THIRTY DEGREESSSSsss...is that summer i wonder?! how nice...but i'm sure winter would be freezing cold!!! well, just need to give and take i guess...anyway, i was strolling through the city on Sunday...surprisingly ALL the shops and restaurants were closed and the city was like a ghost town..but i enjoyed it anyway, took some pics.....anway, yday i had really terrible stomach pain again and initially i planned to ignore it but the second time when it came, i couldnt even walk or move until the pain was gone..so i knew i had to see a doc..the problem with switzerland is that everything closes really early and i couldnt find a clinic tat was open after 6pm yday, so i had to go to the nearby hospital....well, it went well, i didnt know what's wrong w me and just took some antibiotic with me and the whole treatment cost me HKD1200!!! oh man...6 antibiotics for that much of money!!! broke man....it was just sad to be sick in a foreign land...one is language barrier, another one is the cost, the next one is nobody is there to take k of you....just feel so...sooo...soo...foreign....i want my mama :'(

How are you now? have to take good care. How good if we can have Doremon's magic door, then you can come home every time you miss home and your family.:)
