I'm sick. Bad sick. I have a cold which my roommate was so gracious as to share with me. Given that I'm so miserable I have accepted my friend, Qians offer of Chinese medicine to treat it. It's funny she doesn't trust medicine in the United States so she brings it all from home but I've just taken something I can't even read the packaging. They look like little neon green skittles or M&M's. She tells me "It's very common in China, don't worry. Just vitamin C and some medicine." Medicine...seems a little vague. I'll let you know if my heart explodes.

It's not that Chinese are suspicious of U.S medicine. They are just too used to Chinese therapies and medicine.They bring the pills from China ust to save time and avoid unnecessary trouble to see the doctor. Especially some easily diagnosed symptoms, ie. cough.
