Last night and today was not fun. I got sick. It was just a matter of time before it actually happened as most of my friends already had the same thing.
My mom told me to bring some Sudafed with me when I left and at first I didn’t think I would need it, but she convinced me to bring it anyway. The bad part is that I think I forgot to pack it…. and it is very impossible to try to describe what a nasal/sinus decongestant is to a Japanese drugstore clerk! So there is now two more things on the list of stuff to get from home: Sudafed and that magic medicine I can’t seem to find here- NyQuil.
Lastly, at home I would have gotten plenty of oranges and vitamin C as well as tea with honey and lemon, but in Japan all I can afford at the moment is instant ramen so that is all I have. Why is fruit so damn expensive here? Anyway, time for some much needed sleep.
