Hong Kong poorly

---

There's not much to report about today as I have been knocked out with a bout of gastric flu :-(( I spent all night yesterday burning up with a high fever and I've hardly eaten for 3 days, so I thought I ought to see a doctor before leaving for Beijing on Friday. At first I had thought I was just suffering from some kind of heat exhaustion (it's hot and about 90% humidity here) but the doctor said different. I'm glad to have a diagnosis and I now have a colourful array of pills to take. You have to pay privately for seeing the doctor and for the medicine but it turned out to only cost HK$250 which is about £17.50.

Needless to say, I haven't left the hostel room today other than that but I'm starting to feel a bit better and even managed to keep some food down:-) Glynn's been the best husband ever, picking up some tasty bits for me to eat even though I didn't feel like it. I will say though that one good new discovery has been strawberry philadelphia - yummy! He's also been incredibly patient, caring and generally lovely despite my feeling so low.

As I'm feeling a bit better now, we're going to attempt a stroll around the night market here in Kowloon. Tomorrow is our last full day here and it would be nice to be able to get out and about again.
