Powdered Goat Testicle

One issue about living in Beijing is the dry air.  Everyone has humidifiers.  Since I got here the eczema on my hands has become almost unbearable—every time I open and close my hands I get little cracks in my skin, like paper cuts.  I brought some prescription skin cream with me from the US and I’m almost out of it, so today I have my first experience with expatriate medicine in China.  I’ll be going to the Bayley and Jackson medical center.  It was recommended to me by coworkers, and they direct bill my insurance company, just like in the US, so I’ll have no out-of-pocket experiences.  I’ll post a report later on this evening about the experience.
