Asia’s not for everyone. (with guest writer Jenn)

If it’s not diarrhea, it’s constipation. If not headaches, ear infections. If it’s not bed bugs, it’s an allergy to wicker. It’s mosquito bites, it’s heat rash, it’s gastrointestinal infection. It’s motorbike accidents and questionably sanitary hospitals. Toilet paper-less bathrooms and squatter toilets. Cold showers, rock hard beds. Flesh-eating diseases. Shit-smelling streets with your choice of mystery meats, fish balls, chicken tendons, rancid fly-ridden markets. Tuk-tuk driver scams, general transportation chaos. Logiclessness. Elephants in city streets and runaway monkey thieves. Asia’s not for everyone.
