I'm Sick

Well, its finally happened. I'm getting sick. I've been battling a sore throat for a few days, and was hoping that by pumping by body full of mandarin oranges, water, and plenty of sleep I might be able to keep it from developing into something more. But today I feel like I'm walking around in a daze, and all I want to do is sleep. But unfortunately I'm in Guilin waiting for a 5pm train to Kunming. With more than 5 hours to spare, I've wandered around the city looking for a place away from all of the people out taking advantage of the New Years Day sales. I found a park to sit in for an hour or so, but the overly sweet shrill of music coming from the children's amusement park nearby didn't do much for my yearning to find a warm, dark place to hole up in. Luckily I spoted a youth hostel across the street from the train station and have taken solace here. The comfy couches, the fire, the low drone of Fleetwood Mac, and the warm drinks were exactly what I needed. I can't wait to sleep on the train. There's nothing I want more right now than to be laying down, dreaming of the comforts of home.
