I've eight days to find a SRS cure before I head home and begin the "in China" banter. My family fears it. My friends fear it. I fear it. If it gets too bad I'll just run out into a snowbank and scream random Chinese curses. Awesome post. I’ve eight days to find a SRS cure before I head home and begin the “in China” banter.
