shanghai’s weather is killer in the month of july. everytime i step out of the house or an airconditioned location (with much reluctance) it’s like stepping into the gobi desert, except there would be less people in the gobi desert. plus, sucks to be sick here i feel like my legs are plodding through sludge. please please please let me get well before nanjing tomorrow. i’m not even enjoying the food as much as i should be since my nose is cloggy (however, note that this did not stop us from polishing off 10 dishes yesterday).
the lesson to be learnt here is never take the red eye flight if you can help it. and do not think that packing your holidays with travelling right after your internship is a great way to fly. it is not. it is a recipe for low immunity and travel fatigue, especially if you spent the better part of your time after your internship eating your way through penang (speaking of which, crazy stuff i think we had charkwayteow almost every meal but that’s for another day).
i just remembered that i fell sick last year on the shanghai trip too. it’s either the weather, or my immunity bordering on negative everytime i travel.
but even in my haze of illness, i love shanghai. it’s the company, the mood, the shopping and the eating all rolled into one. the weather could do with some anger management for sure, but truly, it’s a wonderful place to be in right now.
