Had a family member who got sick traveling over in Japan. He can speak Japanese OK - enough to get around and have conversations, but he got sick. In a smallish village. At night. Found one chemist open late. Trying to describe your symptoms in your native tongue is hard enough - trying to do it in a language you're not fluent in was multiple steps harder. That was one of those crazy stupid "oh yeah, that could happen" situations that never crossed my mind when traveling abroad.
