Harsh is ok.. condescending is worse, specially when "I should be the one doubting that
you have lived in the US or a 1st world country beyond say 1 month, if not at all. "
Lived 20 so years in the US, 20 so years in South America, and traveled to Asia & Europe. In my whole life I been mugged a whooping 3 times, most scary one in south Dallas in plain daylight.
My points are simple:
1. Following simple common sense safety rules it is not terribly dangerous to live in a third world country.
2. You won't get sick from eating in a decent places in a 3rd world country any more than getting sick from eating at your regular cafeteria.
