Went to a wedding in Assam. It was quite a ride. One thing that I can say is that my experiance is completely opposite than most I’ve heard. It was special because I lived with my friend in his house, visited his family and friends in their houses. We went on a trip in the mountains, been to different caves, temples …
The thing I couldn’t understand was how can they be so clean in their homes, and when they step outside is completely different thing. I’m speaking general. Even in temples they throw paper and rubbish around, even if there is a bin. My friends behave completely different and they don’t have explanation for that.
I didn’t have any problems with diarea which was suprizing, but I always had bottled water, washed my hands with dezinfection gel before and after eating, well using that a lot of times. Drinking lots of assam tea helped I suppose. Some take some kind of alchocol (like whiskey) – a bit in the morning as desinfection and they say it helps.
My biggest challenge was toalet, toalet paper and shower. But after you get used to it, no worries at all.

In India it’s pretty easy to do, although any food can get you sick if it’s got bacteria or gone bad.

To avoid a risk of diarrhea the best practice is to skip meat dishes. I know some people would say that they can’t live with out a meat, but eating tasty Indian vegetarian dishes have not killed anyone!

Great advice!

Thank you – and happy to hear the shock was worth the India experiences in the end for you as well 🙂
