I love to travel, but I wish I didn't have to eat. I have a buddy that travels to many poor countries. He gets food poisoned almost every time he goes somewhere. Sometimes bad enough to need hospitalization.
It's a shame, the food is one of the great joys of going to another country. But every time I put something in my mouth there's that countdown going off in my head wondering when is my number up. If you eat enough meals in poor countries, you are going to get food poisoned. Will this be the meal that has me spewing from both ends? And then I can barely enjoy eating. Any little thing that tastes even slightly funny I want to spit it out for fear that it's tainted. Not to even mention worrying that someone with noro may have prepared my food. I hear so much about how wonderful ceviche is in Peru, but I'd be terrified to eat raw seafood in a 3rd world country.
