I actually had a vial of Cipro on me originally, but my bag ended up getting eating by the trunk of a taxi in Kunming later on. Yeah, I think your method is best.

I normally wait until I fly into the country and then get some stuff from the local hospital and use that only in an emergency. That way you: 1. get the drugs that are most effective for that country's type of malaria 2. get the drugs much cheaper than back home (usually) 3. get to see a local hospital (and nurses) Generally, I don't like taking malaria drugs on a regular basis. Usually (though not in every country!) its enough to just carry some drugs around which you only take if you get the symptoms... Don't blame me if you take my advice and wind up in a thai soap opera though! Good stuff as always :)

I have to say, because we live in the south, we see all the birds and fish. You name it, it's in our market, here in Xiamen. As for the "shriveled" oranges, I will admit they look odd, but they are by far the best oranges we have ever had. In fact, everyone who comes to visit us here in China, when in season, love them. Alas, I believe the season is soon coming to an end. If you ever get a chance, do try it. You won't be disappointed! Good read!
