The worst thing i can imagine is coming to a foreign country and get sick, unfortunately saturday night my worst nightmare came true...somehow with all the precautions i have taken i have contracted the malaria virus. I woke up Sunday morning with a fever and my whole body was hurting. I am thinking to my self holy shit this is not good, i went to the main house and spoke to Edmund about it and they took me to a local doctor. Doctor drew blood and 10 minutes later told me that i have malaria..but i guess it is a very common thing here.. gave me some pills and send me on my way. Sunday was pretty bad, i pretty much slept all day and had bad stomach ache. Today i am feeling much better, i guess the medicine is working. what i dont understand is i have been taking malaria prevention pill that my doctor in the states told me that i would have nothing to worry about, and they cost 180 dollars for 26 weeks...when i get back in december she will get a piece of my mind. anyways the night before (saturday night) Edmund threw a party here and it was real fun...there was alot of people here dancing and drinking..and do these people drink... my god 12 people went through 2 bottles of Johnny Walker Black, a bottle of Chivas, bottle of crown royal, and some local Gin they drink here. but i went to sleep early, i think i was getting sick that night. here are some pictures of the party.
at least there is a vaccine for malaria...just don't get the ebola virus!
