When traveling I like to try local dishes, and I love trying all the different beers. Local house wines tended to be crap, even in France, where it was also very expensive. Only Austria had an excellent house  white in a small cafe; a beautiful, fruity moselle.

IF I thought the local food was dodgy, I often went to a McDonalds, you know exactly what the food will be like, and it's so bland and lacking in fibre it won't upset one's tummy.

Also also had a few medications on hand, for travel sickness, diarrhoea, headaches etc. Always carried the scripts for medication with me. (for immigration especially; US immigration can be rather officious) Plus fruit bars,  muesli bars, and boiled sweets such as barley sugar.

Best simple treatment I ever found for constipation was dried mango. I guess apricots or prunes would also work.

Ah well, not a bad as my dopey nephew; he refuses t go to any country where  English is not the major language.

I just feel like if I am going to travel to another country, I want to taste their food and interact with their people. I suppose everyone has different intentions when they travel, though.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.

One of my favorite things about traveling to a place where I'm not familiar with the culture or the language is that first morning when I wake up there and think, "Fuck. I have to go out there and find breakfast."
