How I Know It's Time to Come Home

I came home today and my host mom handed me a pill to take. She said that every spring her family takes this medicine. I asked her what it was and why she felt the need to take it every spring. I looked up the active drug, flubendazole, and what I found was information for an anthelmintic.... or in laymen's terms, a drug used to expel parasites from the body. So I said, "Greeeeaaaaaat," and popped the pill. I'm just hoping that I don't wake up in the middle of the night to a scary scary scary number 2. Yes, it's time to come home. It's definitely official, I miss you America.

  1. That sounds a lot like anti-worm pills my parents used to make me take back in day. For all its rapid industrialization, I guess some things haven't changed much in 대한민국!
