Taiwan Day 35 (Taichung 7)

More luggage struggle today!! But before that I have a 9am appointment with Min Hai Dentist.

I woke up around like 12:30am feeling very uncomfortable and farted bug and loud twice, and stinky. Then I sharted and woop I got up and went to the loo. Turns out it's diarrhoea type shart... And after that release I felt really sick and ended up puking out my pasta in the sink.... Noooo... Don't tell me cockles are forbidden now too. TTATT

I had to clean my pasta and orange puke put and into the loo so it wouldn't block the sink. My face is paaaale. I was also too awake to sleep so I went to hang the laundry out instead that I was too tired to wait for it to finish. 

I scrubbed my shart off my panties but they are still faintly stained.... 

Then back to sleep. I still woke up on time and had a tea egg (made by 五嬸) and the other half of the slice of bread 二叔 made. 



Youbiked to the clinic and walked in right on time. Two nurses were there and Dr Huang walked in at about 9:10am. Just as I was about to sit in the chair another patient arrived.... 

Hoping I'm covid free...

I asked Dr Huang if I were to get my wisdoms out, how long would I need for recovery? 1 week. 

And he can write me a cert for that I had a surgery for wisdoms, but not write unfit for work. Interesting. He can include dates though. 

That's cool to know. 

On my way home I got mum's disposable undies (honestly... Why. Wearing unwashed fabric as undies, and then chucking it away? So bad for environment), and two more of my Pocari drink powder. Then unlocked my Youbiked and cycled home. 

I tidied up a bit and had to Re-wash my undies as it still smelt bad. I put HOCl on it and that helped a lot. Wrestled with luggage some more and then 四叔 called me asking if I wanted a bentou too? Yes please! It was 11:43am.

I finished trying to pseudo vacuum pack Meghan's capybara and then headed over around 12:20pm. 

They got me a fried chicken leg bentou with less rice. It was just right. Afterwards 四叔 made tea and we just chatted. 

Meghan confirmed wanting Donbei Kitsune Udon and will pay for shipping so I left around 3:30pm, stopped by Pxmart, and bought 10 noodles. 

I then got home and started packaging. Upon entering Meilin ayi had returned from Tainan! 

I managed to min max the packaging down and the noodles fitted snugly inside. I had a break and then went down around 4:45pm to the post office to find at least 26 people in queue for postal services. Wow. 

I waited outside and while waiting decided to fill out the EZpost website and print it so it's easier and faster for the clerk when it's my turn. It was about a 30 min wait and finally got my turn about 5:15pm. Postage was cheaper than anticipated, at $670 for 1.71kgs. I was thinking they might do volumetric but they didn't. Hooray! 10 noodles were $730 (PX mart had a promo that if you bought over $299 it's 30% off or something? Or $30 off, the receipt was cut off). So rough maths meant the noodles worked out at $7.87 NZD per noodle. Not bad. 

After that I went for dinner at 6pm at 中興素食 and decided to eat there are it was empty. Who knew a flood of customers came in as I sat down near the door... And one girl kept coughing. Arghhhh.


I hurried up went home and did a sinus rinse. Pray.

Then it was just rest and sleep.
