The two friends I am backpacking around southeast Asia with have succumbed to a most awful virus. High fever (104F/40C), body aches, nausea… they’ve got the whole shebang going on. Luckily the tests for malaria and dengue fever came out negative, but whatever they’ve got still seems pretty miserable.

At least they got sick in Saigon, where we planned to spend the most time in any one city and where there are good (albeit pricey) English speaking hospitals and clinics. Better to get sick in Saigon than somewhere in Cambodia, which is next on our itinerary!

As one friend got sick right after the other, I fear that I’m next…
