In fact I have not drunk water for almost 300 days since all the water here are the same as what you said:the mercury;the arsenic;the coli;the giardia.
Even I can not get clean fresh water from the sky cause we do not have rains:whip: I am living in a destroyed desert.
I believe that I do not living in a so called superior world.:hide: :hide:

If it weren't for Robust and C'est Bon delivering 19 litre bottles I wouldn't be drinking either. Ying, what do you make of china's public announcement to provide potable water to rural residents? Seems a bit odd to me when the cities don't have it yet.
