re: #127 Decatur Deb
When we got to Seoul in the early 80s, the Preventive Medicine folks gave us tons of policy on surviving the local biome. We tried once to do what they recommended to strawberrie—they turned to chlorinated strawberry jam. After months in-country we found out that our ravenous 12 and 14 yr olds were browsing every street fry-stand between the on-post school and our apartment.
Well, I suppose that once you got over the trots from the change in food, your stomach would adjust to the local fare? I can see if you bought fresh stuff and washed it well, you might be okay if everything was cooked thoroughly.
