That’s what a cold looks like. Captured in time, forever.
It seems like every time I travel somewhere interesting, I get sick. First it was India, then Brazil and now Australia. The pattern is this: I go for about 3 days and then on the 4th day, I feel like crap. On the last two days I get to hang around my hotel room hiding from the rest of humanity. This trip has been no different, sadly. I just hope I didn’t get anyone else sick by being at the conference the first few days.
My wife who travels a lot has suggested the best thing to do when you get to a new place is eat some of the local yogurt, in order that your body can have a sample of the local bacteria to prepare its defenses.
I’m sick too. Apparently it’s going around.
That is a good idea, Nathan. I’m eating yogurt twice a day after my trip to India.
You forgot Spain.
Ugh, I totally forgot spain! That’s 4 for 4!
Don’t drink the local water (includes ice cubes in drinks)
Sadly this happened to me a number of times too. I figured it’s the damn dry air in the airplane. Drink excessive amount of water during the flight! Once they limited me taking my own bottle of water I have bugged the stewardess for the tiny ‘glass’ every 10 minutes and were by far the top restroom user on the plane. Yet. No sickness. /me knocks on the wood.
Get well soon!
You didn’t get sick when we went to Italy. Maybe it’s just when you travel without me that you get sick.

Hi Chris,
I’m interested in doing volunteer work on the OLPC. I currently work for Cisco as a User Experience engineer.
The blog about going to Brazil is what caught my eye. I lived in Sao Paulo for a few years and really loved it there. I would love to go back there in conjunction with the OLPC project if there was a need for volunteers.
You can contact me at my email… and you don’t have to really post this message to your blog… it was just the only way i could see to contact you.
Thanks,
SAM
