okay, so, the hotel couldn't get my bus ticket to zhongdian yesterday so i'm forced to stay another day here in daocheng. it's been a week now, i really like to leave before death by boredom. i was thinking about visiting a hot spring today, but the idea of getting naked in some strange place doesn't appeal to me this morning like it did last night. i might try to flag down a taxi and see if there are any scenic spots nearby worth visiting.

this morning i felt a little nauseous. all systems are okay, but i couldn't get over this queasy feeling so i took some zithromax, intended for curing dysentery, but i figured it couldn't hurt to try it.
