I woke up yesterday and felt... sick. Properly sick, I'm talking sore throat, cough, headache, the lot. Now, here's another thing I love about the Philippines. Here, in Spain, they give you strepsils when you go to the pharmacy and tell them you're sick. In the Philippines, you walk into Seven Eleven and out comes this big plastic container filled with antibiotics, stored next to the smarties on the shelf. "Pick your colour". "Blue one very strong ma'am, better tomorrow". Yep, I'll have 3 of them thanks. Sickness be gone. Here... you must suffer, or you must pay to go to the doctor. Europeans; always have to make things difficult.
