Stomach ache

I've had a stomach ache for 3 days. I believe it's acid reflux, but no one here seems to understand what that is, and apparently China does not have antacid tablets.



There's a clinic in the hotel, so we went there today. Josh thinks the doctor said acid reflux as the diagnosis, but he's not completely sure...so, i'm now taking medicine for whatever the doc thinks I have. My stomach does feel a little better, but it's strange taking foreign medicine when not knowing what it's really for.



We took it pretty easy today after our journey to women's swimming. It took us a subway ride, two walks, and two cabs to get there. We were first told we could get there by subway, so we took the subway where we were told to go, but then at the transfer point we were told we needed to take a bus and everyone had a different idea of where the bus stop was. After walking aimlessly for a while we decided to just take a cab. The cab driver we got didn't know how to get to the location, so he drove us to another cab, jumped out, and told the other cab to take us where we needed to go. That cab got us to the location, but dropped us off at the wrong spot, so we had to walk all over the place trying to find our entrance. I think it ended up taking us about an hour and a half to finally get there. Luckily it was the woman's swimming marathon so we made it for the end of the race. :)



Cabs here are pretty cheap. We drove for about an hour and it only cost us $18 dollars. The ride is a bit scary though. Josh calls it jungle driving, where anything goes.
