Englishman number 3 goes to hospital

Unfortunately for Chris, he became the third Brit to have to visit the dreaded hospital in China, after getting what we believe to be 'a bug'. After having a fever, cough, cold, he then was unable to keep anything down - so to Mr Dong he went. Mr Dong said his English teacher friend would take him to the hospital. We presumed in a taxi, so I went along with him. To my suprise, his friend intended on taking him on his scooter. Oh the look on Chris' face was priceless.

As is the Chinese way, we were amused to find that he was only taking him the 100m down the road to the nearby pharmacy / mini-hospital. Two drips later and a vaccination somewhere he would rather I didn't mention, he is back on the road to recovery. Hopefully that will be the last time he is ill whilst he is in China!
