Pepto Bismol, save me now!

Oh man...


I knew it was coming. I knew that sudden, radical changes in one's diet produces undesired gastro-intestinal results. It really hit today.I'm not feeling too great, glad I brought the Pepto. I've grown tired of being around porcelain.

One might ask, "Now Mike, was it worth eating all that crazy food?"

To which I answer, "Absolutely!"

I'm hoping I'll feel better tommorow. I feel like I might "Merlion" soon.


I did manage to go to the Botanic Garden today. It was alright, kinda chilled out, although a bit touristy. It was interesting to see all the plants, but my physical condition really limited me, and I left within 2 hours of getting there.
Food today was pretty unexciting. My stomach couldn't handle much. Pretty much had a breakfast of coffee and toast with kaya. I caved and had a bit of "western" food, mango ice cream on a funky, rainbow swirl/marbled piece of bread, making an ice cream sandwich. They seem to be pretty popular here, I see the vendor everyday doing a brisk business. I really couldn't handle much more than that.


I'm thinking I might head into Malaysia on Friday, instead of Saturday like I had originally planned. Still not too sure. I'll keep you guys posted.


That does it for me tonight. I got all the pictures up for the previous post.

Goodnight,

Mike

P.S. Thanks to everyone for all the comments. I really enjoy reading them!

Aw, poor Mike. Brings back memories of Delhi-belly. Take it easy, relax and veg.

Hi Mike,

I'm sorry you're not feeling well but hopefully this will toughen up your guts for more disgusting/delicious dishes!

Good luck!

Oh, Mikey, sorry to hear that you're Merlion-ing. (Stay away from dairy when you're nauseous.) (Now she tells me!)

When I go to bed at night, I think that while I'm sleeping, you're doing things like being scared off by wild boars, being jostled in Little India, doing a TV shoot...

Take care.

OH NO!!! CI (culinary Inday) say it isn't so! I hope your stomach 'irons' up soon and you can get back to some serious eating. We decided that you should be the next phatom gourmet!

I just remembered that old commercial from the 1970's for Life cereal "Let Mikey try it -- he'll eat anything!"

Mike - if you can find any diastop, that stuff will plug you up like the hoover dam.
