recovery

Lost two days to GI ick. I broke down and saw a doctor, who is a friend of the vet who is facilitating my project in this district. Turns out, he went to Moravian Academy for high school & Lehigh for college (both in Peter's hometown of bethlehem, PA). He went to medical school in CA. A nice Chinese man. I'm really not used to deling with medical issues outside HIPPA-landia, though. In a matter of minutes, everyone in the office and in the apitik (pharmacy) next door knew that I am a vet student from the States, who lives near Boston, who is working with the FAO in Indonesia for 6 weeks on avian influenza epoidemiology, and that I was going from both ends. No details were spared. But I did meet a nice woman who lives close to my hotel and has a son who is in Boston for a Lion's Club conference.

Sigh.

So I'm definitely changing sites for the 2nd 1/2 of my project. I'm heading to Tasikmalaya (south-eastern
West Java) after I get back from my trip to Singapore to renew my visa. We'll see if I have enough time to finish everything.

Hope you're all well. More photos soon.
