Arlene, I certainly remember your account of your (mis)adventure on Santo Tomas! And thanks for all the advice about eating. It's mostly about foreign bugs that we just don't have in our systems--I managed quite well in Bombay for a week, with an experienced colleague advising and vetting everything I ate, so if I know what to avoid, it's fairly easy. I'm thinking I'll be safe with fish, rice, beans and beer! How about shrimp?
I don't recall if I ate shrimp or not. (That was in the days before I acquired an allergy to all shellfish.) I probably did with no consequences. I also ate cheese, chicken and beef while in Mexico with no problems.
