Stomach Bug

Ugh, I don't know what I ate but last night I was in the ER getting fluids pumped into me. Yesterday was Sunday and at noon we headed down to the famous Wang Fu Jing Foreign Language Bookstore. I was pleasantly surprised by the selection. In my excitement to find English books for about the same price as what they sell for in the States I bought ten books, including one on Barcelona.

I am planning a trip to visit my dear friend Kim in Barcelona. She's been there for the last year and a half and if I want to see her within the next 5 years, I'm going to need to make the trip. I have put it off for too long. I called today about ticket prices and they are RMB9000 (stopping in France!). That's like $1300! Damnit. If I'm going, I want to bring ZY along as neither one of us has been to Europe before. So I'm kind of bummed about that. Not sure how we'll make it there but we'll keep saving and looking for better prices. Argggg!

Anyway, after the bookstore, we walked around Wang Fu Jing and inside Oriental Plaza where I tried to find the Wagas. It turned out Wagas is in another building so we ended up eating at this Shanghai xiao long bao (a type of dumplings with soup and meat in the middle) place instead. I'm not sure if this is where I got sick or what because zy was fine and he ate the same stuff. Anyway, on the way home I started to feel sick and tired and went straight to bed at 4pm. By 5pm, I had a fever and it got worse and worse. ANYWAY, I felt much better the next day and was at work and the following day I felt like I had never gotten sick in the first place... So I had the 24 hour bug I guess.

Man, my blog entries just get better and better. :)
