Food poisoning.
Probably the most common illness of travelers. If you've had this sometimes traveling, you know it's no fun. It comes so suddenly and put the first hours of the toilet is your best friend. Usually you walk on food poisoning from eating cooked meat or unsanitary local water just is not drawn directly from the sewer :-) . It can sit in a small corner; so I have never suffered food poisoning in the dirty India, but was immediately hit on my first night in anyway Western Costa Rica. Just Always pay attention to eating meat or fish, do not eat unpeeled fruit, no ice cubes in your diet and let the lettuce but lie. Food poisoning is indeed often violently, but after a night it is often better. If the bad food but is off.
Travellers' diarrhea.
Another fine ... Now I have anyway a rather weak stomach and intestines, so to me it's soon to say wrong. It does not even necessarily a contaminated something that you get diarrhea. It is also often combined with the completely different food your body some getting used to. And oh, one is simply more sensitive than others. Often it is also better than that after a number of days. If not, you can add ORS to your water bottle. Those are the bags with a concentrated vitamin / mineral / salt powder so you do not quite go your stick.
Altitude sickness.
This is a somewhat different "disease", but no less annoying. I am very particular problems with had in Ethiopia. Above 2,500 meters there is a lot less oxygen in the air, giving your body extra to work hard and sometimes as a panting horse comes on top of a staircase :-) . I myself had particularly suffered from a somewhat fuzzy feeling in my head, frequent nosebleeds (I would never have!) And a body set up by fluid retention. If you really start experiencing headaches, you must descend. Often it already helps to decrease several hundred meters and give your body a little more time to acclimatize. And fine with altitude sickness is that it disappears like snow in the sun when you're back to normal height.
Parasite.
Tenon, still sounds gross ?! Well, I so had a nice held on our last trip through India . Very sorry. No idea where I got that thing on, but I was especially diarrhea and was tired fast. Nothing for me :-) . After a Dutch little test thus showed that I had a parasite. Now that's not all that exciting and you are so relieved by with a little help, but you should not take too long to walk around with remain. Then the worm cause damage.
Madrasah is the Arabic word for school. You understand it all; Here children receive education about Islam. There are two variants: a simple version which children learn the texts of the Koran by heart (and often do not even know what they are learning precisely because they do not speak Arabic) and another version where they receive education on average twelve years and thus eventually mullah, say the Islamic equivalent of a pastor. On both types of schools they also receive formal education, so what we learn here at school.
The Madrassa at 9-11 have since been given a bad name in the West; it would fundamentalist hotbeds are those people inciting terrorism. In second and third world countries can not understand that there are simply schools that millions of children (especially the poor) with free education.
This Madrassa we happened to when we were in Amritsar, in India's northeast sat behind a bicycle rickshaw and could look into a zijsteegje. Ask in advance a while or you may enter, is usually not a problem. Chances are that you will get an enthusiastic tour. Please note that you do not have shorts or sleeves. And for the women: cover your head with a towel or scarf.
