Okay, no more cutesie poo stories about sweet little kiddies or oh-so-amusing anecdotes about funny Chinglish signs. I am in a BAD mood. My sister was here to visit a while ago and she brought back a souvenir from Bangkok which I just realised she shared with me. Lice! How fucking disgsusting! I am so totally revolted, grossed out beyond belief, that I just want to shave my head. HOW FUCKING VILE!!!! I'm not blaming her obviously, she got it from some dirty hotel or something. But EW! It would be awful enough if I were back home surrounded by the comforts of a modern country, but I have to deal with this in China. I don't want some stupid Chinese herbal shit, I want REAL medicine. I had really hoped I would never have cause to experience the Chinese medical system. My friend had some strange allergic reaction or some rash-like thing on her face shortly after she arrived, and everyone kept giving her the totally unacceptable explanation that it was just the wind. When she went to the hospital there was no privacy at all, and a bunch of people waiting for their turn just hovered around, watching intently as the doctor examined her. I won't be able to handle that!!
So, there you have it. I'm disgusting. I hate the superstitious, non-scientific way so many people view things here. AND I HATE GODDAMN HERBAL MEDICINE!!!! I just wanna go home...

oohhh Amanda!!! So sorry to hear about this...lol...only laughing because I\'m Asian and I know about all the crap you\'re talking about. The funny thing is because I\'m filipina we are not so much into herbal medicine but into voodoo. So be glad you are there!!When I got lice my parents used gasoline to get it out!!!!
OMG gasoline, thats horrible....i guess you\'re not a smoker eh BbyGrrl...lol....Amanda i feel sooo bad. it sounds crappy. if it makes you feel better Daddy gave Jennie and I tickets to a pre-Juno party, but it was bunk. the drinks were expensive, the band sucked and everyone was just standing around being bored. a group of 4 walked in and 5 mins later they left with another group of 4.well have fun with the lice....ttyl
hey \'manda! sucks that u got lice.. my advice would be to shave yer head.. i\'ve been told that everyone should try it once in their lives. i dunno how well it would go over, but it would be a fun experience, no?hehe, i\'ve shaved a few noggins in my life time ;) how about getting someone from home to send you a shampoo that will get rid of it?
ewww is right! Sorry to hear that, that\'s gay. I know what you\'re saying about herbal medicine, but I will say this much! My chinese gf gave me a vial of Po Chai pills when I had a stomache ache one day and was visiting her place. These put Tums to shame. So, you never know! Just avoid anything with Tiger balls in them. ;-)
Go down to Shopper\'s and get the medicine. You know the bottle that says \'anti-lice shampoo\'. Get that one. You smoosh it around in your hair with some water. Then you rinse it out... with water!I\'m not sure if it works or not because I\'ve never used it. I like my lice fat, happy, and alive thank you very much-ah.
