Hi Arianna. I have been to China for a month before. I was in a group sitation so I had less flexibility than you might. I was vegan but not raw vegan. We ate the raw fruits a lot. We just washed and peeled them. I usually ate just fruit and an energy bar for breakfast. Then I did eat white rice and cooked veggies for lunch and dinner. I am not sure if you will be sick from that but better sick from cooked veggies than from raw stuff with bacteria or something icky.
Hey arianna, Thailand should be a mecca for young coconuts and fruit, which should be fine. I was there before I was raw and the coconuts were everywhere – just hacked open with a straw stuck in them. Any fruit with the peel on is a good bet. I got food poisoning while I was there from seafood crepes so the danger is not always from raw food. I haven’t been to China but I went to Egypt after I had been raw for 4 months and I found it necessary to eat the occasional cooked foods – mostly rice and veggies. I never felt bad and went right back to raw when I got home.
Thailand. Raw. Easy. Done. Perfect. You will be fine! I lived there for a school for a while, and I was basically a raw foodie without even realizing it…and about the not eating raw food in other countries? Just use your common sense! If there are flies swarming around the pile of browning pineapple slices, it is probably not wise to eat it…!
