(travel diary) Stomach problems

Category: China, 2006
The day started with some minor stomache problems... and continued like that the rest of the day.

The night before Tobias and I had bought some yoghurt. We shouldn't have done that. Well, the buying part was ok but drinking it was not good. The expiration date was passed and I don't the yoghurt had been kept all the time.. Refrigerators is used for soda here, not yoghurt.
We woke up sick and stayed in the hotel room almost whole day except for a little while in the evening when we tried to find a pharmacy to buy medicine for Tobias. We found a shop named "Medicine Supper Market" (yes, supper.. not super). Our hotel had been kind enough to write a little note for us "Hello folks, I got diarrhoea. I want medicine. Gracias, xie xie, thanks!" Something like that. After some laughs from the personnel we got the medicine and went back to our hotel!

Before we knew about our sickness we had planned to visit the terracotta-army today but we will try to go for that tommorrow. Hopefully we feel better then.

(travel diary) Heading towards Luoyang

Category: China, 2006
Not much photos and text today. The reason is that we have mostly been on a train from 西安 Xi'an to 洛阳 Luoyang. Our carriage was nice, good seats, air condition and half empty. Sometimes the chinese music in the carriages is played a little bit too loud, but that's what you got ear plugs for.

Tobias and I are on a train from Xi'an to Luoyang. Loud music sounded from the train's loudspeakers. The music was so cool that I just had to record some :)
Enjoy.
