| Ethiopia. And I've lived or spend significant amounts of time in Cambodia, India, Uganda, Egypt and a lot of other developing countries. But I got giardia while doing field work in Ethiopia and it's the only time I've had to go to the hospital in a developing country. I had explosive diarrhea and vomiting for 36 hours until a neighbor checked on me and took me to the international hospital in addis. To this day, I have very limited memory of it until I woke up 2 days later in my bosses' house, being nursed by his wife. |

| Delhi for sure. I've managed well in other Indian cities, as well as several African capitals & rural villages, but Delhi is just filthy. |
