Quarantine Post 5: The Quarantini
After a few pleasant days hanging out with my mom and living in a hotel; my real, albeit completely unnecessary, quarantine started this afternoon. Much like a lot of things that happen on this side of the word, this section of my quarantine is A) totally not based on any medical science and 2) 100% based on fear and paranoia. It's obvious that on one on my mom's plane had swine flu because any case would've been reported in the news. It's obvious that neither my mom or her friends had swine flu because none of them are sick. I don't have swine flu either. The oddest part is that if anything, this is the reverse of how any normal quarantine would work. For the first four days I had the freedom to travel around the city and interact with whomever I wished. For the next four days, after showing no symptoms whatsoever, I'm stuck in my apartment with no contact with the outside world. That's another point in the "China is Annoying" column.
Now that I have today's bitching out of the way, I proudly present to you the official drink of the next four days: The Quarantini. Part pomegranate/grape/apple juice blend, part whiskey. It's actually not too bad, though I'm a bit heavy handed when I poor drinks so the first one turned out to be half of each. A three to one mix is a lot tastier.
