Heres some advice if anyone is planning on going to china, get up to date with your vaccinations (hepatitis A and B, tetanus and whatever your physician recommends). I suggest getting the "Dukoral" oral vaccine for travellers diarrhea. I contracted it once when i went to china in 2005 for the first time and it lasted a good 10 days so i got the vaccine the next time i went to china in 2007 and it worked.

feel better soon!

aw, hope you feel better soon Robert!
