Sushie you are wrong about the ice. For years now the ice has been made from purified water, even though it may not look exactly right arriving on the back of a truck but it is okay.
It is true that the water from the ground is often contaminated and if cold food is prepared using this water there may be a chance of Bali Belly, but my belief is that MOST of the cases of Bali Belly is nothing more that the dramatic change of diet coupled with the consumption of fruit juice and Bintang.
Of course there are some genuine cases of food poisoning but in 25 trips my wife has never had Bali Belly and I have only had it twice.
