Back again today with even smaller group as there is some sickness going around among the kids. Nonetheless, we had a fun filled day where my group merged with the big kids all on the Kindergarten playground for the entire morning. Today, I will comment on the consumption of Mineral water. I have not had a simple bottled water since I arrived. My organs screech in pain. Every time I ask for water, I’m handed a fizzy, bubbling beverage. Or worse, tap water. Even the children are better accustomed than myself. I don’t understand how one could make water complicated yet here we are. They buy it by the cases. I’ve done the math each person in my homestay averages a couple liters of this stuff per day. The cases stack up in a corner in the kitchen. Full cases are soon filled with the empty bottles ready to be returned for the buyback. I don’t know what to think. It’s pretty good though, once I get used to it. I even put a splash in my apple juice. I wish a Dasani 12 pack would’ve made it through security though.
