Getting ill from the Lunar New Year Celebration

    Getting home on Sunday evening from our Lunar New Year celebration, I started to feel sick. The funny thing is that I know what I ate that made me ill. It was the good old lamb meat. 

    Living in Japan, I mostly eat beef, pork, and chicken. Sometimes, I cook internal organs such as the liver or heart. 

    For the celebration, my cousin and his girlfriend cooked some lamb meat. I had a few pieces along with the famous buuz. Halfway through the dinner, my stomach started to bloat, and it began to feel very uncomfortable. Right then, I knew I was going to be sick. 

    I got home fine and started to continue working on the small gifts that I was making for my students, who were graduating in a couple of weeks. Slowly, my stomach started to act up. My visits to the toilet increased and I felt sick every time I sat in front of the toilet ready to vomit. After a couple of hours, it happened, everything that I ate for dinner. 

    Very random question, how do I know that I am vomiting? My mouth started to produce very watery saliva. Then there is that feeling everything is getting pushed up. 

    So, everything was out. I blew my nose until my nostrils were clear of any debris from the disgusting action. Then, I had a cup of warm water and fell asleep. 

    The next day, I slept most of the day. I was watching the new Despicable Me and fell asleep. That happened twice. I still haven't watched the movie in full. I drank a lot of fluid that day and slept. 

    That was my celebration of the Lunar New Year and how I greeted my zodiac animal.
