Summer Lilac

I have officially returned back to Canada after my month-long trip in Hong Kong. It wasn't a very good farewell because the day before our flight home, my boyfriend and I had caught a case of traveler's diarrhea. It started with a few trips to the washroom, and then it got worse with fluctuations of stomach aches and uneasiness leaping in. TMI - we were so worried of what it could've been because everything we ate would just come right out of the hole ...and it wasn't neatly together at all.
It was worse enough that we had to be on a 15 hour flight too! Strangely though, my sickness wasn't as bad as my boyfriend's. He needed to go to the washroom more often than I did and was experiencing worser symptoms. We thought this problem would've went away by the time we got home because it would've already been 3 days, but it kept persisting. All I did was stay home most of the time and eat clean, and finally after 6 days, I was better.
I've had diarrhea before, but not as severe as this! I've read that this type of sickness was probably caused by a parasite that could've been contracted from anything, whether it be the usual suspect from food, or even touching door handles. I guess it was also no surprise that we'd be sick at least once during our trip because Hong Kong is a pretty dirty place and our bodies weren't accustomed to their type of drinking water. Quite the story to discuss for this outfit post looking as sweet and delicate as it is, hehe ...Whatever it may have been, I'm glad it didn't involve a trip to the emergency room!
