I dunno if anywhere that's cheap is "safe" and Im sure they are pretty far down the list(though nowhere near as bad as many cheaper places) but I never had a problem; Mexico, India, Peru, Thailand, Indonesia.

Is it? I might have to come over then.
Anyway, many parts of Asia are still relatively cheap to live, especially if you keep off the beaten tourist tracks.

I've lived incredibly cheaply for months on end in both Nepal and India. In Goa I was paying 130 rupees for a nice hut right on the beach, and behind a great restaurant. 130 rupees is less than $3 btw, an awesome deal. In Nepal, most guest houses are less than $5 if you're not being too picky.

Haven't been there myself, but my cousin just spent a couple of months travelling in that region, and according to him it was heaven on earth. But a colleague of mine who also spent some 3 months in India complained that he didn't eat properly during all that time. As long as you like spicy, rich and pronounced flavors, it seems you're golden If you only like fries and hamburgers, then it's going to be tough.

Man I loved it! The only dish that Nepal has is daal baat though, and that's totally disgusting (white rice and potatoes/other vegetables with lentils). But they have chinese, indian, israeli, russian, german...etc as well in kathmandu and pokhara.
In India, its good too, especially in Goa. We'll in my experience, Indians are good at making Indian dishes, but not at making continental dishes like pasta or lasagna, definitely not. Awesome variety in different parts throughout the country.
In both countries you gotta be careful with the drinking water. As I got intense stomach aches on four separate occasions. Always go with bottled water which is available everywhere.

Ya,I've heard mixed reports as well about India.
Heard about someone getting sick as a dog eating some undercooked something or other.
I wouldn't be worried about that,just something to take on board.
I love spicy food btw.
Put chillies on pretty much everything I cook.

Oh yeah, I inquired after this with the people who have visited India. They all say the same thing: eat the stuff the locals eat, because that food as the quickest turnaround times: it doesn't get the chance to go bad. Eating European food is a recipe for disaster, as that is the stuff that is the most likely to have been lying around for a couple of days in 100+F temps. But even if you eat the local food, odds are you're going to suffer some mild food poisoning at some point. It's all in the game.

i eat Indian food several times a week. It can be spicy if you arent used to it but tolerance builds.
The Thai really take it to a new level though. If I order their food on the spiciest option it about kills me.

in our neighborhood, 400 Euro for a months rent is about average, and there is cheaper. Plus, central europe, bitchin' nightlife, lax weed laws, plus epic buildings from the past to present!

€ 400, that's not too much, although you can rent a room (or even a small apartment) for that in some Dutch cities as well. Especially cities with no university; otherwise the supply/demand ratio messes up the price level.
