To respond to Mark's question, the blue barrels are used for both fishing and rafts here, however those particular ones were all for fish paste. They make loads of it there.

I decided that I am going to go see a Chinese traditional Dr. and see if there is some herbal remedy that they use for Migraines. They are a little more expensive because they are private Dr.'s, but still they are only $80HK for a visit, which is less than just a co pay back home. I also want to go because when I hurt my throat surfing, I had damage to the soft tissue in my trachea so one of my friends (Who sees a Chinese Dr.) here got this herbal medicine called Arnica and after a day of taking that there was no more bruising or pain. I guess its specifically for bruising and soft tissue and muscles.

Stay away from the ground up Rhino horn as it's supposed to be an aphrodesiac. I would imagine the heat and humidity can't be helping your headaches either.

Hope the Dr. can help you.

Meghan,

I took arnica (tiny pills you swallow and gel to rub on muscles) when I started playing basketball last year.
How do you hurt your throat surfing?
