My advice to visitors in countries where approaching even the simplest of meals makes you feel like Jeremy Renner from The Hurt Locker, is to come prepared with both tummy stoppers AND tummy starters.
I have traveled to the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia and only been sick once. Mind you, once was enough. After three days I looked suitable for a Calvin Klein photo shoot straight out of the 1990s that would have (rightfully) had Germain Greer’s head spinning. There’s nothing quite like being so unwell you make use of multiple drainage systems simultaneously. Enough said.
Bottom line: when you travel to places like these you will inevitably need more ‘corks’ than ‘corkscrews’, but it’s best to be prepared either way.
