even in 2008 you could have easily eaten outside your hotel and been fine. you were being told bad info

lol yes, i had a coworker go to india and complain that he got sick because he would eat random street food

just eat hot things, and avoid fried foods or stuff that isnt local e.g. sushi when youre far from the water, and you should be golden

actually the food at the guest house at the aluminum plant in Jharsaguda was quite bad, sorry to say. Would recommend packing a lunch if you’re working on site there. I bet the cafeteria food was great though and everything else was good as well.

kinda surprising; indian food usually isn't that bad for fat and all that what with no beef and usually no pork except in a few specific regions for things like vindaloo. unless you keep going for the butter chicken and curies with cream-based sauces i guess

you’re forgetting vegetable oils, which are in a lot as well

decent restaurant food in India has all the fat/oil levels maxed up for maximum flavor, i ate out every day for an entire year heh

i’ve got a question that’s simply a curiosity, and I’m curious if this is a cultural thing or not


at work we have a staff kitchen, and when it comes to cleaning it and putting on the dishwasher (and fixing the forks that have been put spike end down so it stops the spinny part from spinning :argh:) etc, there is quite a disparity where some people do the work and pitch in and others just ignore it completely all the time

generally the people who pitch in are people who grew up in nz, and the people who don’t are people who have come here from china (we have almost a half and half mix of those two groups and almost no one else)

no judgement from me, I’m just curious if someone who has more experience of cultures if there’s something like a “if it’s not my responsibility it’s not my responsibility”? and if not, perhaps that’s a ignorant way to look at it. any insight would be interesting

idk I mean I don’t really care, I don’t mind cleaning it’s not a bad way to spend my time at work.

my experience is that its often a gender thing and that women will generally clean up the break room and men will use dirty coffee cups until mold grows in them over a long weekend and then throw them out

the one time i had roommates (lol) neither of them would do the dishes or clean after themselves and would instead blame me for using all the dishes in the sink and leaving poo poo everywhere, then would go to the store and buy plasticware and paper plates until i cleaned everything then the cycle would repeat. boy did i get owned for a whole rear end calendar year
