Homeward journey

We made a trip back to 乖乖's ancester hometown in May. It's a place called十堰 - 茂健区。 I think a trip to and fro US would be more relax. Imagine this: to go there: 5-hour flight to 上海, wait for 3 hours to take a 2-hour flight to 襄樊 followed by a 2-3 hours drive. Going back home was worse: we had wanted to follow the same route back but the flight to 襄樊 was delayed by 1 day due to the bad weather and hence, we have to change route. So, imagine this: 5 hours to 武汉airport to take a 2 hour flight to 上海, wait for 7 hours to take a 5-hour flight from 上海 back to Singapore (close to 24 hours journey just to get back!). It's definitely an unforgetable journey.

But it's an experience of a life-time - with lots of pics taken. I will definitely the compile the pics so that 乖乖 can remember it when he grows up. Well, due to the bad weather (it was raining and unexpectedly cold), 乖乖 fell sick and ran a high fever. We had to rush him to the hospital. And that's where I saw the power of 关系。乖乖's auntie there happened to be the nurse matron. Hence, we do not need to wait at all and he is able to get immediate medical attention.

The norm for treating fever is by drip. All the parents will carry their child, sit on the chair and wait for the drip to finish. You will see all the chairs there has a metal rod at the side to hang the drip. Luckily, 乖乖 fever subsided after 2 days, though I do not really like to idea of the drip to bring down the fever...
