In 3 trips, altogether about 6 months in Vietnam, I have not had one bout of dysentery, even
though we have eaten out regularly 3 meals a day in hundreds of different restaurants, lots of
them fairly cheap ones.
Oh, I had my run-ins with the 'runs', but never in Vietnam. In this age of bottled water it is
your own fault if you have those problems.
I travelled in the Middle East during the fifties and sixties, before 'bottled water'.
Now that is a different story.
