I woke up this morning with a cold. Since I’m only in China for another week I took this opportunity to explore the exciting world of Eastern medicine.
Medicine stores are all over the place here. I can find at least ten within a one-mile radius of my apartment, allowing me to window shop a little bit and search for the perfect therapy for a gunky throat. I settled on a store with a cooler in the front. Each shelf was stocked with two-liter soda bottles full of homemade tonics and syrups. I got a to-go baggy of “cough tea,” which tasted good when I first drank it but then turned extremely bitter. I feel better now; I also just took a nap, though.
Don't bring any of that stuff through Customs
