I've just had the latest "attack" in the long and regular series of gastroenteritises I keep having since I first came to Thailand 6 years ago (that first time I ended up in hospital for 2 days - some people don't understand why I ever returned) - anyway - I'm still sensitive and most strong smells make me want to.... run for it. I can no longer eat the food that I last had before falling sick in the past (though it might not have been the real culprit), the smell will always remind me. the list is getting ever longer: green curry, watermelon, pizza with a certain spice on it which I can smell but not name, banana pancake (a nice salmonella from the egg in there!), fried chicken (the greasy night market version), tofu, chili, certain foods in the school canteen - which sux anyway.
hope to get better.

the smells I like: all the "spring scents" around in Chiang Mai during the winter: flowers, fresh leaves, clean air for a while. the smell of fresh oranges, mangoes. jasmine flowers! and frangipani!
