I've eaten in the city and country, in medium-grade and downmarket
restaurants, as well as many many street stalls, and never got ill at all.

American Chinese food is like a completely different cuisine. If I didn't
know they wer eboth called "Chinese food" I would have assumed they were
from countries far apart. I like them both though. Give me the crappiest,
greasiest $3 Harlem wings'n'kung-pao over a $75 meal in Paris any day of the
week (not US Chinese food from the suburbs, though - that's even worse than
northern European food).
