We went and the saw that the villagers were washing their village cows in the water that was in the intake pool for the ice making plant. This even bothered my hosts from New Delhi! And yes, Lawrence, about that ice incident. We were told, "don't worry, freezing kills everything". I kinda laughed to my self. Fortunately we traveled with a worse case selection of meds, but it still took my producer 3 days to get back to normal. I hear that it is quite safe to consume street ice in Mexico City as it all comes from a regulated ice plant. Jayanand, how safe would you consider street betel?
