Tap water, ice and street food – what is actually risky?
Tap water is not drinkable. This is not a scare story — locals do not drink it either, and every hotel room has a kettle for a reason. Buy bottled water (cheap and everywhere) or bring a filtered bottle.
Ice in drinks is generally fine in cities and in any place that looks busy.
Street food is fine, with the same rule as anywhere: queues of locals are a good sign, empty stalls are not. If it is cooked in front of you and turning over fast, you will be fine. Avoid pre-cut fruit sitting out and anything lukewarm and uncovered.
Your stomach will adapt in a few days if you do not go straight for maximum spice on day one.
What have you eaten that you probably should not have?
