First and last experience. Absolutely horrible. I came in late with a big flesh wound. The doctor sewed it up and told me to come back in the morning "perhaps to redo it, and to change the bandage". When I did come back the next morning, they just changed the bandage and sent me off.
When I peeked at my own wound, I noticed it was horribly done. "Like a vet did the stitches," as someone commented. I then had to stay a night in a different hospital in order to do it right, with a 40% chance of getting infections. This cost me a lot more, thanks to Richland fucking up in the beginning.
Whatever X-rays were taken were not printed out and given to me so I couldn't go to another hospital for a second opinion or treatment.
The nurses didn't seem to know where half the things were and the doctors had to repeat orders to get basic things like scissors.
In the next hospital, it was noticed that I had fractured my jaw in two places. On the five X-Rays taken at Richland, they did not notice the fractures.
Pretty sure these people are not actual doctors and are therefore criminal.
Getting Away: Sapa
Posted byCan we not mix up "hiking" and "trekking" please? Backpacker speak makes me sick.
Trekking > to travel or migrate, especially slowly or with difficulty
Hiking > to walk or march a great distance, especially through rural areas, for pleasure, exercise, military training, or the like.

City cracks down on illegal vendors
Posted byThey are sure taking away a lot of the charm of living in Chinese cities. Are all night-time noodle stands illegal? What do those people normally make their living off? Yet I agree that the street vending has become a bit mad and if they want traffic to one day flow smoothly in this city, then these things must be taken off the streets.
I hope the chengguan this time kept their manners.
