illin’

day 116: 西安 (Xi’an) = 0km

I got an itchy rash on my foot, so I went to see the doctor today.

My first time in a Chinese hospital as a patient:

I had to stand in line and register:

Then I sat around in the waiting hall for a little while:

Interestingly enough, I had to go to a department called “皮肤病性病科” - “dermatology and venereal disease”:

Sweet.

This is the office of the friendly doctor who kindly prescribed some stuff to apply two times a day:

I was told not to wear my heavy boots for at least two weeks.

Damn.

Anyways I’ll show you a picture of my foot tomorrow.

Hallo Christoph Rehage,
in der Stuttgarter Zeitung kam vor einer Woche ein Bericht über Ihren langen Marsch. Bin das 1. Mal in Ihrem Blog. Achten Sie auf Ihre Füße, ohne die geht sowas nicht. “Life is what happens while you are making other plans”, dieses John Lennon Wort hilft einem, die Dinge gelassener zu sehen.
Buon Camino, wie die Jakobsjünger sagen,
Regine

Hi Christoph,

I am a Chinese living in Germany. Just find your odyssey following the DW link and can not believe my eyes, what a genius idea and brave act! Your pictures and observations, many remind me some good old time in the great west of my country, and many refresh me with pale or even painful reality. This is real and should be seen and meditated by more.

Keep bringing us new, the landscapes, the people, and you. And above all be safe and well!

Rick from Nuremberg

Regine Bonfert: Ich werde an Herrn Lennons Worte denken.

Rick: Glad you like it. And again: have fun in Germany!
