FOR THIS HOUR ONLY:

CHINA IS THE BEST PLACE EVVEEEERRRRRR!!!!!

So, I get my handy dictionary out (online) and I look up the words "Albutorol sulfate"
Which is also known as an inhaler. Medicine that I am in particular need of on a consistent basis.

Now in America....You need to be under the care of a doctor, who prescribes said medication in order to get it filled....which I might add is quite expensive.

WELL, In this here country of ZHONG GUO, you simply need to know the name in Chinese, then you just waltz into any given pharmacy and you can buy it without a prescription for $5.58 USD.

Right now, I'm tearing up because.....it's like.....like justice or something. I can breathe without the help of doctor....with my own mouth...speaking Chinese........IT"S A BEAUTIFUL PLACE.

I'm never leaving.

I had to talk myself through not buying all four boxes right then....you know?

GIVE ME ALL OF THEM.

haha, like they're going to disappear or something...

no, no.

They are here to stay, and I can buy them whenever I like.

It feels much like what it may feel like if you could just waltz into walmart and buy
Vicodin....no questions asked.

I used to do that in Africa and i remember the meds only cost $7. I couldn't believe it. I almost feel like I was being cheated in America. It is liberating....
