I think I picked up bird flu in Yangshuo because today I sill feel like shit. I checked into my hotel last night and went out to buy drugs to try and shift it. Before that however I went for a curry to see whether that might also help with clearing the nose and head but to no avail.

I got back to my hotel around 6.30pm took my drugs and shut the blinds and that was me until this morning. I did feel marginally better this morning and so I had breakfast followed by more drugs and went back to the land of nod until 1pm.

Where does all this snot come from, I’ve been producing enough to fill an Olympic size swimming pool and yet it continues. I had a shower and did feel a bit more human after that and so I decided I would try and change my train ticket so that I could return home tomorrow instead of Sunday.

I walked to the station to get some exercise and also to look for food because I was starving. Food in Hong Kong is not as good I think as mainland China and it’s also about twice the price. At the train station there was bad news, no tickets left for tomorrow so I’m stuck here for one more day. If I feel better tomorrow I will try and go for a walk somewhere, afterall that was the reason for having the extra days here.

I found lunch in a small place but it was shit and so now I’m sitting in McDonald’s having black coffee which is surprisingly good and wondering where to go to find some good food to fuel the body. If I want to do for a stroll tomorrow I’m going to have to find something better than what I had for lunch.
