Today I went on ex pedition by local bus. My present hotel is out of town, but blue bus nr 10 drives by to and from the central market in town. To town it took 10 minutes, back I started to worry because after 10 minutes I started to see 'real' Malaysia, but after 30 minutes I recognised we were there :-) Was a nice sightseeing trip.
I had to be at a traditional Chinese pharmacy before closing time 12.00 on Sundays. I was there earlier this week asking if they had Astragalus and or aschwhaganda, both providing energy. You remember me being a herbalist? They had called me up in kapit that they had found out what is was in Chinese and they had some of what I was looking for.
They soon asked the doctor to speak with me about what and how. Before I knew I was sitting in the narrow waiting room in front of his office and I had a traditional Chinese medical examination. We had an interesting conversation and he suggested I should maybe move to Taiwan, China, singapore, to try out Chinese medication for 6 months with regular exams every two weeks in the beginning. I took with me some meds for 5 days, just to see if it would have some effect on me.
It was fun to see him mix leaves, berries, bark etc for a patient to f.ex. cook in water every day. It looked like spicing the day. I can tell you more about it when we meet.
So now I am carrying with me half a kilo of herbs in my backpack, everything marked for a possible custom check.
This evening I dined eating shell. To start I did no really know how to eat those with 2 sticks, so I took them in my mouth whole, soon hearing from a lady at a table away that was the way to go.
In the bus I had conversation with passengers. It was a half big bus.
At dinner one small climbed of its chair to watch me, which made everybody laugh. Yesterday a boy sat with his back to the table watching me.
Tomorrow I fly to the Kelabit highlands to spend Xmas in a house. You should hear from me again not later than January 2.
