    I’m going to bring up Taiwan again, specifically Taipei. Food there is amazing and cheap and I’m honestly shocked that the couple McDonald’s I saw can stay in business. There are restaurants and food stalls every 10 feet. You can get a full meal in a couple minutes (or seconds depending on the stall) for like $2usd even in the touristy areas

      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.

              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
