... I didn't (just as I never went to restaurants and always ate at people's places or from little "warungs") and probably therefore ended up seriously ill as well: the runs, vomiting, icy cold feet, firy hot head, head ache, belly ache, you name it.
Luckily I had a lot of local Balinese friends who first massaged my legs for about three hours in order to make the fever pass. They also made me drink some local brew which tasted awful but in the end seemed to cure me. Next to that they cooked me basic food to get me back into shape because being so ill I forgot to eat for a couple of days.
At a certain point I even thought my final hour had come, but luckily it hadn't, probably thanks of the care of my friends.
It wasn't an altogether pleasant experience but nevertheless not something just to regret having been through since being that ill I rediscovered what true friendship is and what Bali really can be like...
Selamat membersihkan gigi,
