Shanghai

I've just came back from "the city".
I was longing to go there.
I'm studying the language spoken there.
Tom Cruise was hanging and swinging between skyscrapers there in MI3.

Can you guess where "the city" is?

Before Shanghai　'07 March 2

I felt a chill while I was working in the office and I found I had a slight fever.
I went to see a doctor and he diagnosed me as having a cold.

I hardly ever have a fever even if I catch a terrible cold, so I was afraid it was caused by the flu.
I’m going to Shanghai this weekend. If I have a fever, I won’t be allowed to depart from Narita airport.
I asked the doctor to do an examination and give me some medicine for the flu but he didn’t accept my idea because my symptoms weren’t appropriate to the flu.
I also told him that I was vaccinated against the flu last autumn and it made my symptoms mild.
He explained to me thoroughly why he didn’t prescribe a flu medicine.

Recently, it is said that an antiviral drug called “Tamiflu”, which is used in the treatment and prophylaxis of flu, is very dangerous for young people as it can cause abnormal behavior.

He didn’t want to take the risk and only gave me some antifebriles and anti-inflammatories. It stuck in my throat but I went home.

This morning when I woke up, I found he was right. Thanks to his diagnosis and enough sleep, my temperature has dropped now. I can go to Shanghai.

I really appreciate it! Thanks, Doctor!
