Meet my roomie Shazeda! Our room is very neat, mainly because our dormitory is inside a hotel and the hotel staff makes my bed every day.

The pictures are about my dormitory, but today, my adventure of the day was my search for a 中药店 (Chinese herbal medicine store). I've come down with a cold on my first day of classes (how unfortunate!) and decided to take my teacher's suggestion to brew some herbal medicine drinks. I went searching for 胖大海 which is said to treat sore throat, but I'm not sure if all the walking in the cold in search of medicine made me even sicker. :/ This afternoon, I sure did feel a lot worse than I did this morning, before I went searching for meds. BUT, I am still enjoying my time here in Beijing, so all is still good despite a slight decline in health. :)
:O at living in a hotel. :( at being sick. :D at having a great time in Beijing. Please get better soon. Ooh, I like 胖大海. My mom would often make it for me at home when I got sick.
