Food Poisoning
So made a pretty poor choice & ate raw oysters at this restaurant on Friday. Other than the oysters, the meal was pretty fantastic. In fact, the oysters themselves were also really tasty, but I think that’s what got me sick. At first I had no problems on Saturday night, but that all changed around 4AM when I began throwing up, etc which lasted for about 8 hours. I continued to feel horrible all day on Sunday while the room spun, had a headache all day Monday, and experienced mostly residual effects on Tuesday.
Someone at work made the comment that all the Americans seem to get food poisoning because their bodies aren’t used to the germs over here. I can’t help but to agree with them. Many American colleagues have mentioned that they get food poisoning about 1-2 times per year. Maybe I’m not so much looking forward to dining out over here…
One more reason why I do not eat oysters. Glad you are now over the effects.It’s cold here too and I am hoping for snow!!!!!
Sorry to hear about the food poisoning, but great to read about all your adventures in the Netherlands. Have fun!
Eww you can look at that thing and tell its going to give you food poisoning!! Glad you are better now though
I’m so sorry you got sick — especially during your first few days in Den Haag. I’m enjoying your website!
Hi!! We just heard about your website and have enjoyed checking it out! Despite the food poisioning, seems like things are going well! Keep us updated!
Hi Matt,
I heard about your food poisoining….sorry. I’m finally getting to look at your blog. Since I respond to emails all day, I don’t do much at night but it is too cold to play tennis tonight. I’ll check in on your blog every couple of weeks.
Love,

I hear the dining in the red light district is also dangerous. You have been warned.
Oh man! That doesn’t sound like fun. Curse the FDA and similar institutions that prevent the spread of microbes in the US of A! They create in us weak non-international stomachs.
You have done a good job maintaining your blog, Matthew. I’m very proud. I must, however, encourage you to categorize and/or tag your blog posts. It will be very helpful down the road when you have hundreds of posts.
@Mike Haggerty
Good point - I do actually plan on categorizing the posts. Just waiting to see what the categories might be!
@admin
Nice. While you’re at it, you should change your name from admin to Matt and set yourself up a gravatar account (that’s how my picture is pulled into the comment post).
