    Dude that's why they serve peanuts on flights.. they work as poison-breaking agents.. :-P

    Glad you're out of the hospital man.. next time you fly.. remember peanuts! :lol:

    I don't even eat chicken from fast food places, let alone airlines!

    You could have had my roommate when I was in a couple years back. Apparently he crossed the paths of some people who ultimately left him for dead. He found it funny that they didn't finish him off like they had planned.

    Here I was thinking about how to get the heck out of the room with a broken ankle the require surgery.

    I'll take the asian guy with the urine issue any day. =)

    Wow. Glad you survived that one. I also got very, very sick on a flight back from Taiwan last year, on the so-called Chinese breakfast. Got back here to SFO, then hopped on BART to get back to the city, and threw up big time and made a huge mess. Yuck.

    Are you back on Flickr? I've been getting some good photos on the groups I admin, and finally Bali Images is picking up. Some really great photography in India Images and Japan Images, but Indonesia Images remains very slow. Not sure why.

    What an experience...to top off having to wonder whether your friends were safe! I'm really happy to hear you got through it and that you've heard from all of your friends now.

    Glad to hear you are better. Food poisoning is rough. I've only had it once and once was more than enough. Good thing it wasn't an ameoba. Those are bad little dudes for sure.

    The trick I've heard is to phone your airline in advance of your flight and tell them you're vegetarian. Apparently you get a great meal AND get served first! Never tried it, though.

    Jerm - I'll try the peanuts next time.
  • Brandon · 4 years ago
    Kitta - sorry but I looovvvee chicken. I'll take the chance. :) Ok, maybe not on an airline though. Good thing it wasn't trans-pacific!

    Chris - I see your point.
  • Brandon · 4 years ago
    Se - thank you very much!
  • Brandon · 4 years ago
    Olivia - I'll definitely keep that in mind.

    Carl - I'm back on flickr, and just posted some new shots today. I have so many to wade through - it'll be a while before I finish all of the Bali shots - and that's only from 2 days of shooting.

    I don't know if I belong to the "indonesia images" group - i'll check and add my stuff if you'd like.

    Claire - thank you, I'm also relieved.
  • Brandon · 4 years ago
    Andrea - I've never had an ameoba, and hope I never do!
  • Brandon · 4 years ago
    Hkmacs - that's great advice, and I'm sure it works in most countries, but I seriously doubt Indonesia is one of them. I'll try it back in the States someday.

    Glad to see you are back in Jakarta and doing better. Please do look at Indonesia Images and Bali Images at Flickr, and send in some of your great photos. Are you going to do anything with the Java Jive group at Flickr?
