I want to play safe, therefore I invested in safety and vaccinations. Today I took the first of two cholera oral vaccinations.

1. Reading the instructions.
2. Opening the package with the powder and give it in a glass.
3. Filling water into the glass and wait until it fomed.
4. Put the oral vaccination into it.
5. Add another part of water.
6. Mix it.
7. Drink it.

The medicine tasted a little bit like rasperry… not bad. After a few minutes I got stomachache, felt a little bit strange - but it did not take long… Hm…

Okidoki. Just coming home from the institute for tropical medicine in Vienna. Heavy - got the first 4 out of more then 10 vaccinations: 3 in my left and 1 in my right arm. I was already vaccinated for Hepatitis due to my last trips through South-East-Asia. This time, it seems to get a little bit harder. And more expensive. I seem to understand… It’s good, that those vaccination is possible within two weeks…
