Medicine



Wednesday 10 December 2008

I have ten students in my class. You will notice this picture has 7 kinds of medicine in it. Actually, another student who arrived late also had medicine, but it was too crazy to stop and take another picture. So, eight out of ten students on medicine. No, they are not all sickly (although there are a few who would use a few days resting at home, something almost unheard of here), Taiwanese people simply love medicine. Chinese, western, you name it, they'll take it. You go to the doctor with a cold and you'll walk out with 4 medications. I sometimes joke and call my co-teacher "Nurse Ariana."
