I have been going to the doctor consistently for the past two months. I have been to about five different clinics based on proximity to work and hours. The main reason for my trips is that I have really bad allergies which are probably triggered from the mold that is hidden behind my walls in my bedroom (which I’m currently attacking with bleach once a month or so). However, I have also seen the eye doctor and the gyno for my yearly check-ups.

Fun Fact: I just want to say that seeing a doctor here in Taiwan is one of the easiest things to do. All you need to bring is your blue medical card and $200NT ($6USD). There is usually no wait to see the doctor, and you’re in and out within 10-15 minutes. Then they prepackage your pills for you, which you pick up on the way out. No trips to the pharmacy, no ridiculous bills, no wasting of time. Thank goodness for socialized medicine.

Now on to the dentist…
