For the first year in China, I didn't eat much outside. I preferred to cook myself and freed my kitchen with Chili, Soya Sauce, Vinegar and MSG. I even avoided using much of the oil. My choice of food were simple easy cook: boil everything in a pot, add some salt and olive oil and eat. Or, Red Lentil soup as a protein source either brought from outside China or bought on taobao. I could not find nice bread ( i mean brown bread). Simple Sphaghetti and tuna fish were also my first choice. I am addicted to milk and drink directly from the pack all the time.

After one year, I started to eat outside with my Chinese colleagues and slowly liked the Chinese food. After almost two years I eat mostly outside with my colleagues and eat whatever they order. But the problem is that whenever I eat outside, next day my body goes rampant. I faced severe problems when I had to travel outside the workplace and never forget to carry 2-3 packs of tissue papers. Then I guessed that this may be the reason why China has so many toilets built everywhere in the city. Now a days, at least one day before my planned travel I stop eating outside as I am afraid of previous experiences.

When I see my colleagues or other chinese munching foods swimming in Chili, Fat, Vinegar (whatever mixed there) I bit my tongue and ask myself: "Does Chinese people also have same problem like me? Does any foreigners also faced similar problems when they eat local food outside?" "Is there any medicine that I can take mainly when I am traveling and free myself from nervousness of eating out?" 

I thought I will adapt to it but failed.
