the ramblings of a woman who was transported from her comfort zone in the US Midwest to a different country and culture that shouldn't be so different, but is.
I saw this sign at a gas petrol station and couldn't believe my eyes! Coke and water, the same price!! This is suppose to be one of the 'most unspoiled unspoilt' countries on earth and people pay for water--especially at that price?! Kinda makes you wanna go, 'Hmmm...'
We drink bottled water here because there are health concerns (meaning my water is stored in a fairly open tank in my yard and when it gets low, some random tanker truck fills it with grungy hoses.) We have a reverse osmosis water filter set up in one sink, and we refill bottles, but the fact is, we HAVE to do this. We don't really want to. One of the luxuries of visiting the US, is drinking tap water.
We have a filter on our tap and the water tastes beautiful. But when I'm out and about I do buy a bottle of water if I've forgotten to take some with me.
Hi there I was wondering if you'd mind if I re-posted this photo and statement to my blog - all credit given to you of course! http://johnnyray.blogspot.com/ let me know and I take no offence if you'd rather not. Thanks John

Mmmhmm! Crazy!
yes, bottles of water here are usually the same price as soda. That seems VERY expensive, but I guess I don't know what the exchange rate is.....
