Life / Water from wells in Warsaw - Safe to drink? [24]


I don't consider my personal preferences, to represent the preferences of an entire nation. In the United States, I prefer drinking tap h2o, as opposed to bottled. In the past, I've become very ill from drinking tap h2o, while visiting other countries. As a rule, I now drink only bottled h2o, while traveling out of the US.


This is the scenario for many of my relative's home in Poland.

Hopefully things have now improved in Krakow. I haven't had the pleasure of visiting the area as of yet. My relatives who have visited there, have had mainly positive experiences.

Yes we do!!! It's more like Latinos now have lots more Pitbulls as pets.
