As someone who has been to the Middle East previously, had some questions for those residing in Hyderabad. I will be traveling for work.

- I will be getting HEP vaccinations, Tetanus and other required shots prior to country entry. I am physically fit and healthy so I may forgo cholera and japanese encephalitis.

- I am bringing a water filtration source ( Grayl bottle) and will only be drinking the bottled water (i have read up on reputable brands). Should I avoid washing my face during showers to avoid potential bacterial exposure?

- Food, I know it is advised to avoid street foods and I will be bringing my own meal replacement shakes, but that said, are even high end restaraunts potential vectors for exposure? I have a pretty strong gut but, I have read to avoid fresh fruits, anything not cooked hot and served hot?

- Any cultural customs I should be aware of? Areas to avoid in HYD during certain times of day?

- Do you all use uber or reputable taxi services?

- Do most people in HYD speak english due to it being a tech hub?

- I would like to bring my wife back something from India (pottery or something of the sort) any reccs?
