Happy to report that the strange pills that look ironically like mala beads(though taste worse) had quite an astonishing effect. Only after 24 hours my tonsil-swelling cold illness diminished to only a slight pain that allowed me to appreciate the habit of eating again. 48 hours afterwards the pain had completely dissapeared from swallowing, and I could only cause it to hurt through prodding at my throat. 3 days later it is now just minor swelling the I hope will subside as my dosage continutes for the next 3 days. The pack of medicine (2 in the morning, 6 at lunch, 2 at 4pm, and 6 when I go to sleep) cost me a whopping 60 RPS(just over a dollar). The month-long insomniac medicine I bought for kicks was 3$. So who cares if it works or doesn't? And it does.



All else is quite. I was planning on leaving for Delhi tomorrow but all the Israelis reminded me that the next 2 nights is Rosh Hashana, Jewish New Years, so don your nose, yamikas, and beads, which was enough for me to put off a bus ride another day. I'll head over to Lev HaYehudi(The Jewish Heart), where a few very very blissed out religious jews make enough food for a few hundred Israelis to pig out on with a nice mixture of singing and dancing beforehand.



Anywho I am starving so I'm going to go find something or someone Tibetan to eat.

Tibetan?
Let me know what Tibetan tastes like, if you so got the chance.
