Living in a suitcase (Travel & Technology): Travel, Fever, Cough and Flu

I’ve been travelling again... this time to Bangkok, Thailand. This is my third trip to Bangkok for three years in a row! I went with my parents for a short break during the long weekend. We just went there for shopping. The weather was terrible. It was very hot and during the night it rains heavily. The road to our hotel was flooded one night and we had to walk as the taxi couldn’t go through. The drainage system is not that great there and with millions of people living in the city, the surrounding is not clean either. I make a habit of washing my crocs shoe with dettol when I return to my hotel.
Unfortunately upon my return back home, I caught the cough and cold. My dad was already coughing badly when he was there (he ate too much of the longan fruit even before we went to Bangkok!). I had the fever as well and was given 2 days sick leave from work. Thank God it’s nothing serious like the H1N1. It is just a common cold and I’m still recovering from it.
My next trip will be in 2 weeks time. I need to recover fully first and get some vaccine shots as well. It’ll be an adventurous one and I’m pretty excited about it. I can’t wait! Will update on it soon...
