Sick

Unfortunately I have a nasty cold here.  This seems to happen to me in foreign countries.  I get colds all of the time in the states, so I guess it's natural that I'd get sick as soon as I arrive here since I'm not immune to their sicknesses.  Not as bad as in Argentina though.  In my first two months there, I got colds twice that left me bed-ridden for days.  I'm not exaggerating...literally, I was too weak to get out of bed.  From a cold.  Probably had something to do with the language.  In Korea, I'm pretty much an alien and don't interact with them, but in Argentina, I was constantly interacting with the culture since I spoke Spanish, and speaking in a foreign language all day is incredibly taxing.  So I think it just left me really weak.  My cold here hasn't been nearly as bad, although I'm constantly congested and I sleep much, much longer than normal.

OK I seriously need to stop posting.  I'm getting way too mundane.  It's Friday night so I'm off to do some exploring for a little while.
