Mouth and Stomach Disagreements ... Ugh

Everything I have eaten here in the last two weeks has been delicious - curries, masala, some spicy, some not so spicy.  I haven't learned the names of everything I've eaten, but I recognize the foods - red beans, chicken, potato, peas, corn, rice, green beans, noodles. Even the yogurt was good, different and I have fully formed my official opinion on it but I don't dislike it for sure.  It is definitely good with the spicy food, but I'm not sure how I feel about it alone.

However, all the delicious food caught up to me yesterday.  Although the thousands of taste buds on my tongue, my stomach decided it had enough of all the delicious food.  Some of this was to be expected and I had already faced some of it, but nothing too bad and nothing that a little Immodium couldn't handle.  Yesterday was spent in bed curled in a ball, yelling at my stomach and frequenting the bathroom more times than I can count.  And to me the worst part is that it happened yesterday, the day of the office party.  I was so looking forward to going to the party, having a few beers, and enjoying a more social time with my colleagues.  But alas, it was not to be.

Thankfully, it seemed to be a twenty-four hour bug.  Today at least I'm feeling much better.  I had some maggi, which is the ramen noodle, curry flavor with some onion and chives, and a little bit spicy.  I had some mango juice with it, definitely needed because even though I only asked for a little spicy, I needed something to drink with the maggi.  Then a beer on the way back to the hotel.

Hopefully, this will be the only real bad day.  I don't expect this the only time my mouth and stomach will disagree as I plan on tasting pretty much everything put in front of me, but I don't want to miss another party.  At least it was only twenty-four hours.  Now on to more wonderful food.
