So I forgot to mention that I randomly came down with the cold from hell a few days ago and have been miserable the last two days. So...that being said, I decided to venture to the nearest pharmacy with an Arabic speaking friend (who, was actually not needed, as the pharmacist spoke English) to buy some cough syrup. Now for those of you who went to DePauw, you know that you don't go to the health center unless you're in dire need, same for the pharmacies here...where foreigners are concerned, as you never know exactly what you're going to get.
I walked out, 4 LE (Egyptian Pounds) poorer and 1 bottle of cough syrup richer. The man informed me that I should take 2 tablespoons three times a day and that it should have no adverse side effects except that it will make me sleep.
Now as I'm sitting in my room examining and (web mding) the medication, I'm beginning to doubt its effectiveness. The bottle looks like it walked straight out of 1950, glass with a gold screw on top. At this point I'm desperate, so I'll try anything.
Before the pharmacy visit, I spent a few glorious hours on, or rather in, the white sand beaches of the mediteranean. I must say there is no feeling quite like the one you get laying on the beach, knowing you have found paradise.
Enough for now loves,
