Being Sick Sucks

[rambodude19]

Wow I remember Pocari Sweat from when I lived in Okinawa. lol. Japanese Gatorade

[morrowindmods]

damn this morning i was so friggin sick i almost fainted

My hearth was pumping like crazy i seriously tought i could die...!

Then i friggin puked and everything is better now

[alaivani]

funny... hospitals there are like canada but just with japanese people! duh!

but you should go to India in a small village or town and get sick.. it's a lot different than just the Indian faces...

but it is truly a culture shock to get sick in another country...

[Quintaxos]

Have you ever gotten food poisoned in Japan or Korea?

[BusanKevin]

I got severe food poisoning in 2002! It was at a KFC in Ilsan, South Korea....damn the Colonel!!!!!! :(

[2real2touch]

[margieann11]

[JoeCubicle]

...btw, it was cool seeing you in Marlow's video. I bet that was a fun day.

[BusanKevin]

It was. It was really nice to meet him and his wife. They're nice folks for sure!

[JoeCubicle]

Like everyone is saying... get well soon. Keep the liquids going. Its what your body uses to shed the virus.

(My BS was in Biotechnology, my advisor was a virologist. Boy-oh-boy I could tell you some wacky virus-lab stories.)

[BusanKevin]

Hehe...I can tell you some stories about what the virus did to me....but they're sort of gross! I bet your stories are more gross!! hehe

[14chris92]

Sorry man.

[BusanKevin]

No worries...a few tough days, but I'm ready to finally leave my house!

[CloneTrooperX]

Hope you feel better Kevin!

[BusanKevin]

[APOKALYPSE34]

I hope you feel better soon!

Take care!

[BusanKevin]

Thanks so much!

[Furyotic]

Oh man I just got the influenza a month ago!. It was so horrible I slept for 24hours literally and ate 3 apples the whole day. Basically I had a massive migrane, lack of energy, sore muscles, sore eyes, sore throat, high fever, and you cant eat much or youll puke like instantly. The symptoms seem to vary I wonder if your having the same hellish experience. Anyways get well soon man!

[BusanKevin]

Yeah...like the title...being sick sucks. I'm starting to feel better and will actually go outside today :)

[YWA32]

sickness sucks

bad luck,

every one will be sick some time this

year.

[BusanKevin]

for sure. Most of my coworkers are sick too :(

[NichiBeiTrader]

Looks like you wouldn't have been able to join us last night anyway - I met up with Cooney, Hikosaemon, TkyoSam, and ElevenColors last night. Yes, i'm back in Japan, but only in Tokyo. 'Twas a good time.

Hope your feeling better.

[stefmax]

Lucky Trader you.

[ilove0110]

haha.i catch the cold,too.

days i japan are so cold.

please take care you.

[Niiickoh]

Feel better!!!!

[pulps23113]

Hey- been busy lately- FEEL BETTER!!!

[RoninDave]

tis the season to be sicky! Flu season, got to love it! I've been lucky - I usually just get the sniffles and a cough most of the winter season.

[BusanKevin]

Me too...this year there was no dodging the bullet though...hit me directly in the stomach!

[runnyrunny999]

In Japan we say ''Idiot never catch a cold'' = ''Baka ha(wa) kaze wo(o) hika nai'' I used to be the one ^^;

Hope you will get well soon...

[runnyrunny999]

So you should be proud of yourself! now I come to think of it ...I haven't got a flu for a year...Hmmm _ _;

[BusanKevin]

Thanks for the well wishes. I wouldn't wish this feeling upon anyone. How's the running? Obviously, I won't be running for a little while :(

[runnyrunny999]

You need to take a good rest now... I do an hour run like once or twice a week now. Kinda lazy but I still run and will keep running for sure!

[BusanKevin]

Obviously being really sick has messed up my running schedule, but hopefully I'll be out later this week. I have a 10k on Jan25th and a half-marathon on Feb8th :) I think my 10k will be slower this time than in December :(

[Squall7766]

Ah man man i know the feeling....

Just yesterday i ended up getting cold chills and a seriously bad migrate,fever and fatigue.

I wake up this morning to find out that nausia is added to that extensive list of already aggravating things. Drink water all day and eat soup and thats just to prevent me from throwing up. I detest getting sick...... lol

Id rather get power tackled 10 times in rugby or football then have to bother with the whole sick thing. lol

[smiley62]

maybe its just me...but ever time i drink pocari sweat it taste remarkably like...sweat. I have this image in my head of a room full of sweaty dudes sweating into a giant vat of sweat and selling them in bottled form for all of us to drink...

get well soon!

[BusanKevin]

I used to tell my students in Korea that the Pocari Sweat factory consisted of hundreds of sumo wrestlers on running machines and they'd funnel the sweat into barrels, add some sugar and sell it! Funny thing is, some of the kids believed me;)

[ronbrendon]

hope you get well soon.... tc

[BusanKevin]

Thanks a lot. hope you feel well soon too!

[ronbrendon]

thanks....

[ronbrendon]

yeah, it really sucks getting sick.. i am just recovering from a sickness, cold, sore throat and sty... sheesh.. too good i am getting better,,,,,

[TaishaJason]

Hope you feel better soon.

[BusanKevin]

Thanks:)

[powernuala]

I too got sick in Japan, with a lifelong but controllable condition. So I had to visit the hospital frequently in Japan until I was "stable".The Japanese hospitals were great and I was well treated. One problem-I had to listen carefully when they called names out.I had a hard time understanding my name being called in Higana style Japanese. sometimes I missed it and waited longer then I had to! Thank the gods they have a National Health System. (now I have crummy American rob the sick system!)

[BusanKevin]

It was my first time at a hospital, but everything seemed fine. The bill was fairly low too :)

[jk2900a]

Feel better soon Kevin!

But even though you're sick, this vid is still prretty funny. Cant wait for "wacky" sake adventure.

[BusanKevin]

I'll try to get something up before the "wacky sake" adventure!

[atomicboyx]

feel better, pocari sweat, fianlly got to taste it, nice soft citrus taste. didnt know it was like gatorade.

[BusanKevin]

Yeah...it's one of the saltier sports drinks so I prefer it....know it's doing the job best! Hope you're settling into life in Tokyo:)

[norsehawk]

Hope you feel better fast!

[BusanKevin]

Cheers! Me too

[marlowgum]

ah crap! did i pass on my illness to you?! or maybe those green tea kit kats have finally caught up to you. get well soon.

[BusanKevin]

hehe....no, It must have been something going around at work...several people got sick suddenly.

[toddatron]

ahhhhh yea just getting over mine.... have a shot of Yamazaki and sleep bro..... get well

[BusanKevin]

Thanks. I've got meds up the ying yang though...should be right as rain in a few days.

[skippyXG]

Hope you will get well soon!

[BusanKevin]

thanks

[kotk05]

Oh no! I had the stomach flu too when I was in Korea back in 2006. And it was winter there too, so I couldn't lay out in the sun.

Interesting thing about pocari sweat, it was invented to rehydrate after diarrh ... Um, nevermind. Get well.

[BusanKevin]

Good then...I picked the right beverage ;)

[Flint133]

Hope you feel better soon.

[BusanKevin]

thanks a bunch :)

[bestiaccia]

Get well soon! How's the health system over there? Is it private? Or State system... ?

[BusanKevin]

It's a state system.Seems very modern, but they are facing some major problems with doctor and nurse shortages.

[HaxorLee]

Sick in Japan :P That's a new one :P

The flu sucks when it gets you really hard, just go to sleep and you will be fine :P

[BusanKevin]

I've got lots of meds and have been sleeping nonstop all yesterday. Should be fine in a few days. Thanks :)

[Daichen]

pocari sweat is my fav. Feel better man.

[BusanKevin]

Thanks. I like it too.

[midori1]

I love pacari sweat! :D Mostly cuz of the name ^^; Feel better soon!

[BusanKevin]

It is a cool name!

[Coralians]

Ah that's really lame, especially while it's the New Year. Get well soon, can't wait for more super-awesome videos!

[BusanKevin]

Yeah...a crappy way to ring in the New Year. Especially since this is a ling weekend!
