Explore outside the cities

Be mindful of what you Eat
Avoid most street food carts (as they often don’t follow strict health codes), eat only peeled fruits and vegetables and try to eat food that’s been only boiled of fried. And when is comes to water, don’t drink from the tap and skip the ice.
Stay in reputable hotel
