16th Day of Training...No practice, parts of me are too sore.
Woke up this morning and really had no desire for practice. I wouldn't be able to do anything. All the activity would cause me more trouble. And it was this morning that Josh tried to fix the toilet. And then from the bathroom I heard, "Hey Phil...toilet isn't flushing anymore...and I mean it this time."
He said he would tell the people when he headed to practice. He did, but nothing came of it. I got out of be a bit later and headed to the little doctors office to get some pills that work well, from what I have heard. As I was leaving my room, I snagged the snaggle-toothed hall monitor with the lazy eye to let her know of the broken toilet and show her the problem. She is a very nice girl. I like her. She is also kind of funny too. Very nice person. Her co-hall monitor, however, isn't the most pleasant person. When I came back from the doctor, i told her about it, and she snapped at me, "Wo zhi dao". I was like, "ok, you know about it. Why is it still broken?"
That must have done something because she walked away and came back a minute later with a guy to that seemed to fix it for the immediate future. Thank you, sir!
Back to my doctor trip. I walked down to the doctors office and found a free doctor. I walked up to him and we just stood there for a moment locking eyes and not really saying anything - it was a kodak moment. He said, "Ni hao." I responded, "Ni hao. Wo la xi" (i have loose bowels)
He was like, "Aaaaah...guo lai. Zuo le" (come in, sit). He asked me a bunch of stuff and i couldn't quite make out what he was saying, but I think he mentioned, how many times, so I told him how many times. He was like, aaaah. And then asked me if i felt hurt/sick elsewhere. I was like, pointing to my stomach, then to my forehead, "Bu tong, bu tong." He then asked if I was itching my arms or body, he had to explain it to me by showing him itching his arm because I didnt understand. I was like, nope. I just kept pointing to my butt and saying, "La xi." As he wrote out a medicine perscription, he had a slight smile on his face over my explanation I think. He was a young guy.
I went in to get the medication and man, this place was crowded with about 10 kids all trying to buy something at one time. I was like, wait in line suckas. I got my meds and it only cost 4.2RMB. Josh said the only thing that works are the tablets, the other meds are for like hurt tummy and fever. I think the doctor prescribed it just to be sure.
I then grabbed something to drink and a small thing to eat to get some food in me. I brougth my video cam with me to video tape some kids practicing, but one of the teachers told me not to use. So, i was like, poo. Not a big deal, the weather is overcast and not too good, I should wait until it gets sunny again.
I chatted with the Germans, the old guy and his girl. The young daughter was at practice. Stuppe, the guy, had hurt his knee, and his woman had gastrol intestinal fast track problems too. They were gnna leave sometime tomorrow. They would go to Longmen Shiku and I told them how to get there.
After that, I came to my room and laid down and watched Taste the Blood of Dracula. It was ok. I think it was like a sequel of one of his other flicks. Like #3 or #4 in a series. Lunch time came and my issues were not really acting up, but now my tummy was hurting a bit. Maybe it was the medicine. Who knows. I want to go to practice this afternoon, but I doubt I will.
Practice was over and josh came back and I told him the toilet was fixed. "Its making that gurggeling sound." I had a sandwich for lunch and some water. During so, we watched Alien VS Predator. Josh had wanted to see it and he was like, throughout it, "This movie sucks!" At the end, he was like, "that movie was total crap! Give me 1 hour, a blunt pencil, and some paper and I will write a better story and screenplay for this film. Bloody Hell, I would even do the story boards. Bollocks!" (he is british by the way)
After that, I hit up the computer room where I told Mr. Bean Sifu about my issues and told him I may not make afternoon practice. While on computer, XIaohui asked me to pay money. Sure thing. after this.
I didn't pay afterwards. I just left. Cause I needed to use the toilet.
In the afternoon, I pretty much spent the time playing video games and relaxing and trying to get thru the soreness of a tummy. It passed over. Then around 6pm we went out to a dumpling place in Dengfeng to do a send off for the german folks. They are leaving tomorrow.
The food was really good. I took some pills before we left and I realized that the stomach pain was caused by the pills. I thought this stuff was supposed to help ya.
We came back and we pretty much chilled in the rooms. Goodnite.
