I got some sickness, but hey, if you're going to be sick Thailand's the place to do it. I've never had such a good experience (well, I've never had a good experience) in a hospital. We were seen by a doctor within two minutes of walking in. Its almost more of a hotel than a hospital. Thailand has a really good health care system (everyone but us right?).The thing is, Thailand is so cheap that it's more economically viable to fly all the way to Thailand for a serious operation (say, heart bypass for example), have the operate (by doctors who trained in the US) and then take a week long vacation (maybe some tropical beach, elephant sanctuaries, who knows?). By time you decide to return to the US you're better and you've saved hella money.
What a deal.
My trip to the hospital cost $16. Cheaper than my co-pay in the US I must point out. So yeah, its been great. I only had intense stomach gas. I think it was from my second homestay when my meh kept cooking me meat for the first few days until I could communicate that I ate food that was jay (veggie) not animals that eat jay food.
Oh yeah, so my group is pretty amazing. When I got back from the hospital I three different people brought me dinner, including my thai roomate's brother who brought me a bag of hot soup. Then two friends gave their evenings to watch Spirited Away with me as I laid in bed. I know, don't you just want to cry about how great everyone is? I am.
See? Fun times.
