What happened to India? Where are you now?

As some of you might remember Before I went to India I was in Australia for about a year. The last 3 weeks was me pretty much hithhiking and free camping in the outback from Melbourne to Darwin. I had a lot of fun and a great experience but.....boy did I lose some weight :/ I lost maybe about 10 lbs over 3 weeks of a lot of muscle and fat. I didnt have too much to start with. When I saw my German friend Manon again after 3 weeks she was shocked to see a stick figure holding a back pack (me) I thought , well it's ok because im going to India in 1 week and I will eat so much!
Fast forward to India. I get sick. Not normal sick. Sick as in, crawling on my hands and knees at the train station vomiting on the stairs and fever etc etc. The food is NO joke. I always get sick in every country I go to, I guess I have a weak stomach. Well this is probably in a 3-way tie for most sickest while travelling. (Cuba, drank the water. South Africa, ate bad Calamari, India, ate streetfood.)
So over the next 6 weeks I was sick an average of 1 time a week. for 6 weeks. I lost even more weight and became weaker. I mean looking back I have been punishing my body pretty badly the last 1.5 years the way I travel.
I ended up couchsurfing around India for a bit, saw some sites, saw MANY toilets. I booked it out of India after 6 weeks to come back to............Thailand! I love this place. So clean, so nice, cheap, beaches!
I am going to be here a total of 3 months. Not travelling. Not fighting. Eating. Resting. Putting on weight. Getting healthy again. I leave in Spetember to Germany to visit Manon!
