Having altitude sickness is not something that everyone experiences. Many of the other exchange students brought altitude sickness pills from their countries or bought them for the trip here. I bought some pills at a local Pharmacy a few days before the trip. I took them the day before as recomended but somehow I still got sick, what are you gonna do, right?
In the last 24 hours I have left my bed 4 times. Twice to use the bathroom, once to vomit, and one very painful trip down to the food area in the hotel to have some bread and tea. Other than that I have been in my bed, or one of the other 2 beds in this room. I cannot seem to find a comfortable position to sleep or just sit. When I get up the room spins and my eyes bulge. My stomach feels like there are some sort of tiny creature writhing inside me. Today I am a little better, when I went downstairs to breakfast I didn't feel like vomiting, so that was a plus. I'm 89% sure I'm making a fast and healthy recovery.
I don't mind the room service bringing me Coca leaf tea and soup, that makes my life easier.
