My first couple of trips to SJ I stayed in a well known hotel, and I quite like it, but I do think their good food may not be prepared the most sanitary way.

The day after I arrive I start feeling queasy and the day after I leave I am fine.

It might be the water too though, for sure. I live in the hills now and have 0 problems. I still usually drink bottled water though as I have seen the pipes used for city water, and they are not up to any standard. Not to mention the reserve tank at my place needs some improvement. My neighbours all drink tap water and insist it is fine.

I'll be installing a decent UV filter system soon, and then I'll go back to tap water, but for now bottled water suits me just fine.
