"So did you go to the hospital?" asks the Korean. (Julie just taught direct speech and knew exactly how to punctuate that.) And also Julie just remarked how our room is starting to look like a slum again, but fortunately I have a wife that also sees the four fingers pointing back at her and so she doesn't get on my nerves :). Anyway... ... ... ... ... I went to the doctor today, ... not the 'hospital' as Koreans call everything medical... and I received a prescription that I conveniently filled on the bottom floor of the same building. I left the building with seven dollars less than when I entered, which is a small but excellent testament to socialized medicine. I wish it would be like this when I return home. High hopes I guess. I am on a thorough regiment of pills... about 7 to be exact, that I take 3 times a day. These koreans like to add all of the symptomatic stuff in with the prescription so you don't have to go out and buy advil cold and sinus etc. ( I just figured this out today). So Dan (me ) is on the up n up and I love all you whom I have left on the right side of the world... as opposed to the wrong side. I drank some soju to help the pills go down well and now I feel a bit sleepy so I will sign off give good morning to you and a nite nite to those that are on my wrong side of the world. love you all..
