singapore's not in china

the worst thing that u can do on a freezing and windy morning when u'll b touring rather intensively, is to gulp down lots of diuretics, like tea, and then gulp down even more water, to force start pressure diuresis and natruisis. n then u'll b wanting to pee like crazy for the rest of the day. since u'd feel like peeing all the way (but can't really find a toilet that easily), u'd think u'd better not drink any more water. in the end, the pee in ur bladder would get so concentrated, the salts precipitate, and u get ureteric collic - laccerating from from loin to groin, and even to the tip of the penis and scrotum.

sucks.

i'm falling in love with russian guys - the r just so absolutely gorgoues n dead cute. too bad most of them don't speak english. my guide today was a cute 22yo russian guy. haha.

it seems that i've been busy making friends in this city - the russians here really seem to b very friendly. i've gotten acquainted with this 4th year medical student (their course is 6 years) from the ural state medical academy. yup, made great friends, n learnt much abt their medical education and healthcare systems.

yekaterinburg's a nice city. not too big to b intimidating, yet big enough to have a certain buzz. we went to the place where the last tzar and his family were killed (a gigantic church is built there now; the family's cannonized btw), and where their bodies were dumped (it's a large monastaric complex there now). n we also went to the asia-europe border, among other highlights of the day.

gosh. i really hope i could have stayed on longer in russia on my own. if not for the russian guys...
