Food Poisoning
For many years I had the unfortunate reputation of always getting a case of food poisoning. My trip to Tibet was no different. I spent most of the day vomiting in my room before I admitted defeat and asked rthe staff if they would show me where to go. I went back to my room, picked up the bowl I had been using to vomit in, and walked down to the gate when they all starting yelling at me. I didn't know what was going on and then they took my bowl away. I protested a little but I could see I wasn't going to get it back so we headed down to the local GP.I was the only foreign patient there so now it was my turn to be stared at. I have to admit that there was not much else to do in the hospital. If I saw a foreigner there I would probably stare too.What I would like to say is that I went to the hospital in Lhasa and came out safely. The local doctors know how to fix most things that tourists...
