How I battle Flu

The worse thing that can happen while you are on holiday is to be down with some kind of illness. I was the unfortunate passer-by to a friend's flu virus.

I refused to cower to the horrible bug because that would mean staying in bed while everyone else explore the ruins, learn history and snap gorgeous summer picture for keepsake.

So I battled the virus with what I could get out of the buffet table.

I helped myself to the lemon slices(meants for salads) and made my own "lemon drink zero".

My mon swears by lemon honey as the ultimate Vitamin C booster but unfortunately we had no honey then, and I'm not a fan of sugar, so the family had to put up with a prune face at the dining table.

Travel

I have to admit that one of the great perks about living in China is how easy it is to travel. Most Asian countries are only a two or four hour flight away for a few hundred dollars. It's typical to hear of someone making a weekend trip to places like Bali, Thailand, Vietnam or some other exotic locatons. And China itself is so huge and there are so many placws within the country to see. We have a long list of places to visit and things we'd love to do just here in China alone. If you're the adventurous type, you can travel anywhere by train for under $100USD.
