Author: After having been here so long, I thought that getting a lava cake would be no problem. We don’t have chocolate pastries in this city, so finding one is a huge treat. Little did I know the consequences.
Last night I gobbled the lava cake down and it tasted fantastic. But my body didn’t agree. I guess the bacteria in that food was different from the bacteria my body has adjusted to, because this was made using ingredients imported from America (I bought it at Aloha Diner, the American restaurant in town).
I fell asleep feeling fine, but woke up several times during the night with heart burn and bad reflux. Finally around 7am I got up and did what I felt was necessary. I threw up. Lucky for me there was no need for the finger poking, but it still was nasty.

In other news, I got together with my Chinese friend that we’ll call Bobby. Yesterday we took a bus across the river into the Hanyang district and entered an old TV Tower that had been redesigned as an observatory. We were extremely lucky to have a second straight day with no pollution clouds and awesome blue sky. Only downside was the 60rmb we paid to enter. Oh well, the pictures were good and that’s all that matters.
Today at work I am going to talk to my boss and see if the school will sponsor me for a work visa, but then only continue to work for them part-time until I look for a real full-time job. It was suggested to me by Matt, so I guess we’ll see what happens. Because my primary school is off this week, I could hop over to Hong Kong for a few days to get a new visa (if the school agrees). I have plenty of money for it since I’ve been saving for such a case (and/or the trip in February). I’m trying to get Mark to come too, but chances are I’ll be on my own. I’m still a bit scared of traveling on my own, but it’ll happen sooner or later, so better sooner than later!
