Got milk? Got Sick

Yeah, so I was dumb. Somehow I thought my mother´s obsession with organic and my forced training in eating like a Californian health extremist with raw organic milk would have transferred here. NOT SO. If any of you are ever in the DR and are offered cows milk that´s not from a carton, don´t drink it. Save yourself.

Needless to say, I didn´t feel so hot this weekend. Feeling sick soon combined with homesickness and my normally high emotional state make for a rough time in total. I think I really scared my family too, cause the poor things kept offering to take me to the hospital. I don´t think they know fully what diahrreah is or how it affects someone, cause they kept offering me fruit, vegetables, etc. They thought I was weird for eating only bananas, rice crispies and rice.

Lesson learned: milk here is like tap water here: bad!
