Drugs in HK - the legal kind

I had my first visit to the doctor today. I actually was a bit nervous and was wishing I could just pop into my own Canberra GP. I'm not that sick, I've just had a terrible cough for a week and want to get rid of it so I can sleep again.

Anyway he was really nice! He spoke great english and everything he said made sense to me, and said he would give me cough medicine, and a perscription for my asthma if it gets worse.

I thought that was it, but when I went to pay the bill (about $7 Aussie dollars!) they also handed me 3 packets of pills, the perscription and a big bottle of medicine! Imagine never having to go to the chemist and paying huge amounts of money for medication!

Don't worry Mum, I'm about to google the pills before I start popping them.
