We were at the airport lounge waiting for 12:00 noon to arrive so that we can go inside the departure area talking about medicines. Our Korean friend, who was also our guide during our Jeju trip was suffering from what we believed to be gastritis. We were feeling very concerned and tried to think about an appropriate medicine to buy for him. Deki, a Bhutanese friend was telling us about this antacid that was popular in her country to treat gastritis. We were comparing medicines when she suddenly said that she wished there were appetite suppressant pills so that she would not be tempted to eat so much. She was also concerned about losing the extra weight she had put on since coming to Korea. I told her that there were pills like that but I don’t think she was really that serious about it. I’m sure if she really wanted to, she could look it up in the internet.
