Once it lasted for a week and wouldn&#8217;t go away until I took some antibiotics. As I knew I was going to spend at least a couple of months in the country I thought it would be better to get immersed and develop some resistance towards local bacteria instead of worrying all the time. So I ate almost everything, including food from street stands, fresh vegetables and fruit (which are often washed with local water) and even drank local water if the restaurant seemed to have some kind of filter system or if I was in a village which had a decent looking well and the water didn&#8217;t smell bad. I tried to use common sense, for example by not eating any meat or uncooked milk products from a stand where the food was likely to have been in the hot sun for several hours. Otherwise, I actually believe street stands can be safer than some restaurants: at least you have a chance to see whether the food looks fresh and how it is handled while the restaurant kitchen is hidden from your eyes. I hope you have better luck next time. At least don&#8217;t hesitate to try chai, the best chai is often served on the cheap street stands! :) Arto<br /> ]]> https://ajt.iki.fi/blog/main/2007/01/15/navigating_in_new_delhi#c496 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 09:40:43 +0000 Lilly c495@https://ajt.iki.fi/blog/ I have to admit I&#8217;m quite jealous. You say you eat from street vendors? Didn&#8217;t you get sick? I have been in Delhi for a week and have eaten in some family homes and at the small office I&#8217;m working in, but after a trip to a veg indian food stand in a mall (shiny and sanitized, i thought), I ended up in the hospital with an IV. https://ajt.iki.fi/blog/main/2007/01/15/navigating_in_new_delhi#c495 Wed, 17 Jan 2007 19:22:17 +0000 ajt c232@https://ajt.iki.fi/blog/ Kiitoksia vinkista! Blogin mukaan kaveri lahti jatkamaan matkaa kohti Pakistania tanaan, joten taidettiin juuri missata toisemme. Laitoin kuitenkin mailia ja tekstarin, katsotaan. https://ajt.iki.fi/blog/main/2007/01/15/navigating_in_new_delhi#c232 Tue, 16 Jan 2007 18:39:56 +0000 Jura c231@https://ajt.iki.fi/blog/ Toinen suomalainen pöyrämatkailija samaan aikaan New Delhissä: <a href="http://www.pyorallamaailmanympari.com/" class="linebreak" rel="nofollow ugc">http://www.pyorallamaailmanympari.com/</a> http://www.pyorallamaailmanympari.com/]]> https://ajt.iki.fi/blog/main/2007/01/15/navigating_in_new_delhi#c231
