Hi From Chennai India!

 
beautiful flower decoration outside a neighbors appartment
 


Hi all just wanted to say hi from India and share a few pictures, have had a few decent meals, but I ended up with severe food poisoning yesterday couldn't even keep water down, so not super motivated by food, just soups and bread for now LOL
But I am on the mend and its good to see family, I made a little clip below to say hi from the appartment for fun. Hopefully I will get some good food snaps as I feel better, but just wanted to say hi to you all - Rebecca

  5. Food poisoning happens frequently when travelling overseas. So, both you & Jasmine should be more careful with the street food. My ex-boss(a German guy) told me that he will never touched on the street food in India but only eating in the 5 star restaurants. Just to play safe! You don't want to get sick when you're travelling, right? Great to see you & your family arrived India safely. Have lots of fun and take care.
    Best wishes, Kristy

  6. I don't mean the street food is dirty or whatever! Just that we all have sensitive belly and not easy to adapt to the local street food immediately. Just be a little cautious, that's all!

  28. Great pics. Like I said before I am jealous. I think food poisoning would be one thing that might scare me about India. i know when I went to China they kept reminding us about the water and foods. Feel better soon.
