probably because i’ve been eating a lot of really awesome street food (that’s admittedly sodium-rich but my choices are on me)

worst pain ever though like not even getting shot would feel this awful but hey at least i now know i’d make for a good punk screamer

anyway ended up going to the hospital and and despite being a foreigner on an L visa it was easy and affordable, and since my chinese is terrible (they naturally assumed such in advance) they had an english-speaking doctor video-call me to explain what the other doctors were doing before using one of those machines to punch my kidney stones into kidney dust

healthcare here is pretty cool, so common china W 😎 too bad i’m pissing blood

      Technicaly China would be a second world (or third world) nation as the words where first world was capitalist nations aligned with the US, Second world was Communists alingned with the USSR and third world where all the nutral nations

      so assuming that China has userpt the USSR, China would be a second world contry… the whole “world” moddle of classification is not useful
