Feb 26th 2011 - Comfort (Day 12)

   Living in an environment long enough and your body adjust to the conditions. After spending 4 years in Taiwan, high humidity has become the norm for me, and travelling back to New Zealand where the air is drier may be the cause of my sore throat and continuous dry coughs.

   Popping pills to alleviate symptoms is not how I like to cure myself, somehow I feel like that is cheating your own body into believing that the illness no longer exists. Therefore I've taken the more traditional approach of drinking liquids, especially warm water or honey water. As an added treat, a nice warm cup of plum and mini orange tea like this one really help brighten up the day.
