At work...

Yeah, I'm at work. Just yesterday I was thinking 'It'd be great if I had a laptop here'. Guess what? Now I do, in addition to that accursed iPad. :P

Either way, now that I have a laptop on hand, I can upload a picture of the shop:

In addition to that, the shop has a 2mbps internet connection.

Time to download everything!

Or not, It's heavily capped. :P

Oh well. Time to make the best use of my emulated game library.

The tap water here might kill you if you drink too much.

It's even worse further north.

what good is it than? why have it? taking a shower in poisonous water doesn't sound like a good idea either.

Water is different everywhere; but here it's a general problem.

We refill bottles for a low price, so we even get poor people coming in with a Coke bottle or two.

(The rate is about 12 American Cents per liter).

You shower with shampoo/soap, but you sure as hell don't drink it…. or at least I hope you don't.

When I'm in the countryside, tap water is ice cold and tastes better than bottled water. But when I'm at Uni, it's lukewarm, hard and tastes terrible. I guess water is sourced locally where possible.

Humans have evolved to be pretty darn waterproof, until you start drinking it.

There are some trace elements that can be absorbed through the skin, but you'd better hope they're not in the water.
