and headed back.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>I grabbed another taxi and went to my appointment at the Hong Kong medical clinic.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>I actually scheduled it after we arrived at the restaurant.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>I decided to get my ear checked out.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>I could still feel something blocking my right ear.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>The cost is really low, and there\u2019s no sense waiting for bigger issues, just because I was stubborn or lazy<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I walked in at 4:00, signed their paperwork, and was ushered to the room where the doctor was waiting.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>I told him the problem, he scoped it, and decided to try and \u201cvacuum\u201d it out.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>There was a little pain, and I really didn\u2019t gain much relief.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>He indicated there was minor swelling, and prescribed some ear drops.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>I walked out at 4:20 with two bottles of eardrops, and was told there would no charge for the visit or the drops.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>The taxi ride home took longer than my doctor visit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Back at the apartment, we finished off the leftover cake we brought home, and watched several episodes of \u201cGrey\u2019s Anatomy\u201d.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>Judy prepped for her week ahead.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>I got myself ready for an early trip back to Tim\u2019s Texas BBQ for a Super Bowl Party.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>They told me they we\u2019re expecting a sell-out, with guests showing up beginning at 5:30 am?<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>They\u2019re serving a breakfast buffet beginning at 6:30 am, and the game begins at 7:30.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>This should be an experience, Beijing Super
