I’m disappointed I finally broke my streak of not getting sick from eating street food yesterday. I ordered a fried rice and pork sausage which is very similar to vietnamese nem nong. The meat was squishy and I stopped eating it halfway. Also the stall gave me a cup of water, i took a gulp out of habit and then realized what I did. I asked the girl where the water came from and she said “service water” which probably meant tap water. I’m glad I got prescribed cyproheptadine before I left. Took some this morning and I think I’m all good now.

I was sitting in the common area tonight and a girl I’ve had a few conversations with and have seen around the island asked if I wanted to go to the fish market with some friends of hers. Now knowing not to turn down an opportunity to go to a fish market I agreed.

We got there close to closing time so not too much to see but I didn’t realize how many people were going to be in the group.

I didn’t manage to learn everyone’s names but I can list off where they were from (from left to right): London, Turkey, London, Vancouver, Vancouver, Manila, Me, Sweden, and Sweden.
It was pretty cool meeting such a big group of people. I felt a little intimidated at how much traveling they had under their belt. The guy from London has been traveling for 18 months straight! So crazy.

I was basically along for the ride on this one. The two main dishes they ordered was prawns in garlic butter and lime and crabs in a sweet chili sauce.
