People waiting at clinic
Exchange needles with Injection Drug users in forest
Drug rehabilitation center
前天早上张医生请我吃了一碗缅甸的早餐,是一种豆粉,上面覆盖着厚厚一层黄色的豆油。吃的时候觉得味道香极了。可是到了中午还不饿,有如一块石头顶在胃上。到了晚上还是不饿,什么都吃不下。觉得这种早餐真是穷人的福音,一顿可以顶一两天。这里真是很遥远的山沟,贫穷落后,可是风景好美,吃的好天然。我们饭堂的菜很多都是邻居戒毒中心的人种的,他们还自己养猪,那猪真长得比人还瘦,吃的都是天然植物,喝的山上的泉水。所以这里猪肉也好香。
在这里最怕的就是被蚊子咬,一旦被咬,患疟疾的可能性极高。因为据说这里人口有70%带虫率,就是如果蚊子叮了一个带虫的人,再叮我,我就要打摆子了。所以大热天我还穿长衣长袖裹得严严实实。这几周去当地的诊所做问卷调查真是感动的鼻涕眼泪。人们都好淳朴,单纯,不会说谎,连报酬都不肯收。
Dr.Zhang has invited me for a Myanmar breakfast a few days ago. It looks and tastes so nice,it was a kind of very sticky noodle covered by a thick layer of yellow cream.After i ate this breakfast,i felt full for the whole day. It would be a real good food for poor people,because one meal can make you feel full for a whole day.Although this is a very very poor region deep in the moutain side of North Myanmar,however scenary is so natural,food is so natural!What i eat here remind me of the expensive BIO food in Europe. It's even more BIO/organic here,including wild grassroot,tree root dishes. The drug rehabilitation center is just opposite to my building,people there cultivate their crop and raise pigs,the pigs are so slim,even more slim than human,because they were feed by natural plants,and drank spring water from the mountain.Thus this pork tastes extremely delicious.
What i fear about,is the mosquitos.There're very high rate of morbidity of malaria.70% of people here got Malaria before.So all the time even in hot weather, i wear very long clothes and cover as much skin as possible.Last weeks i've been administering my questionnaires to local people in the clinic. They are so pure and kind!!!
