It depends on the location. I admit I've been to McDonald's in Asia, just because my stomach couldn't take the pain anymore. The price of a small menu was the same as a full meal elsewhere, but they treat you like you're in a fancy place.

Huh. When I’ve been to Asia, my stomach was healthier than never before, despite only eating local kitchen. I’ve been to McDonald’s too, but only to test their food.

I got food poisoning at least 4 times in the couple of months I was in Asia. I even found a place where they stored their "fresh" ingredients next to the toilet. I still have stomach issues >10 years later and I think my Asia trip may be related to that.

Really? Wow… maybe it could have been related to me only travelling around the suthern tropical regions of Asia?

For me Indonesia was the worst, I had constant stomach problems. Vietnam just some light issues, other countries were mostly fine actually.

Interesting! I had absolutely no problem in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand or the Philippines. Maybe I should just move there lol
