bai teow to the hospital

ok so i know i haven't posted anything in a long time; there was nothing to post and then i was on a homestay. but i will start with the most recent adventure: a trip to the thai hospital. being a farang (foreigner) we got seen pretty quickly. we being myself and two other girls who have what is lovingly referred to as "the black lung" in our group, and is currently affecting at least 15 to some degree. the three of us had decided to finally suck it up and go to the hospital. so we had some doctor type guy check us out in a little office type thing, surprisingly he didn't even look in our throats or anything, something i would have done had someone come in with problems with their throats, instead he just asked us a few questions and sent us to get x-rays of our lungs. we were taken to the next room by one of the nurses whose uniforms are just the most ridiculous looking things ever, they have a short white skirt with a little white collared shirt, stockings, high heels, and one of those little nurses caps that i haven't seen anyone wear since the 50's. all in all it was a pretty successful trip, it turns out i have pneumonia in my right lung, so i got these horse pills of antibiotics and was sent on my way. the other two girls had bronchitis. so yeah that was my latest adventure, i'm bringing back my x-ray as a souvenir ( i think, unless it gets erased when it goes when the x-ray machine at the airport, i don't know how science works) so that's good. by the way pneumonia is so not as intense as i thought it would be, i just have this weird pain in my lungs and this very very strange buzzing/vibrating in my lungs when i breathe.
