A Chinese saying goes like this--illness comes like landsliding but goes like cocoon stripping" so many years ago when I saw the word "patient" for the first time, I remembered the two meanings immediately--when one requires medical care, he needs to be enduring without complaint. A patient needs to be patient. These days, however, I have sort of changed my mind. Sometimes a person is willing to be so patient as to become a patient. Care is required, not necessarily medical though.5 ]% ^$ y4 l9 ^# D- `5 E

Homesickness to me definitely includes missing the food in China. Several days ago, I learned from the Internet how to roast ducks. Yum yum.../ i% t, Z) O1 m

The only bad thing was that I got a burn on my lower arm. Worthwhile. :D
