Rica made a great Chinese design on my back. I didn t want to wash it off so it could set overnight. I slept on my stomach but still woke up to find my tattoo design imprinted all over the sheets. It was amusing and interesting to see all sorts of medications in our bags. I brought a bottle of Tylenol, and Tish, Seirrogan pills.
Seirrogan pills are the ultimate Chinese remedy for all kinds of stomachaches.
They re round and smell awful, but ask anyone who grew up with a bottle of the stuff at home and they ll swear by its curative properties. Further investigation yielded even a small vial of Chinese eye drops. We could ve opened our own pharmacy. We found a boat to take us to an island, with each of us paying P15 to some guy wearing a barong and claiming to be from the Department of Tourism. We later found out that you only had to pay if you were planning to spend the day at one of the developed beaches with electricity like Quezon Island.
