| Jun 29, 2011 at 20:03 | comment | added | Jacco | @Raj More, that looks like a place I would not hesitate to buy stuff from. | |
| Jun 29, 2011 at 19:35 | comment | added | Raj More | @Jacco I am referring to street vendors like this: bit.ly/iLT6YK | |
| Jun 29, 2011 at 19:32 | comment | added | Raj More | @fredley: Looking at the picture in the question, I wouldn't call it a "Place that caters to tourists" either. I believe my comment is in sync with the OPs thought. | |
| Jun 29, 2011 at 17:04 | comment | added | fredley | @Raj These days ice in places that cater to tourists will have been made with filtered water, and you can always ask. | |
| Jun 29, 2011 at 14:43 | comment | added | Jacco | @Raj More, I always have drinks with ice, never made me sick. I'm quite sure the risk is hugely exaggerated. (The same goes for the vegetables you should not eat because they are washed in tap-water -> I happily eat them, never made me sick.) | |

| Jun 29, 2011 at 13:32 | comment | added | Raj More | Slightly unrelated: While in India, do not ask the vendors to add ice to your soda in most street places - that is probably made from tap water, and it definitely wasn't boiled. | |

| Jun 29, 2011 at 11:13 | comment | added | hippietrail | I drank the tea all the time but always at places that lots of people were using. My theory is that the locals will know which places are dodgy and avoid them and the safest places will be popular. Having said that, when planning a trip to India it really is best to assume that you will get sick at least once. | |
