People (OK so only my parents) have asked if the herbal potion I took last week helped with the cough. It did provide temporary relief and soothing, but I was still fighting the cough on Friday. I decided to pursue the next level of Chinese medicine by going for ear candles (advertised to be good for total body health). We have a friend who swears by it for migraine relief. Below is a picture of the event, sorry for showing so much skin and for the graininess of the shot.
In the end it didn’t work either, although it was very relaxing. I was tempted to try to talk the guy into shoving the candles up my nose instead, but “Wǒde Pǔtōnghuà mǎmahūhū”, which literally translated means that my Mandarin is horse-horse-tiger-tiger (so-so). Yeah, maybe sounds strange but try to explain “I’m just pulling your leg” to a Chinese national. We ended the night with a trip to Starbucks and a red bean scone with a green tea smoothie.
