[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe so many of you travel to hellholes where you can’t open your mouth in the shower or drink anything with ice cubes or you’ll suffer great bodily harm. Good grief, go enjoy the Florida Keys or Santa Barbara, California or Newport or Maine in the summer. [/quote]

Not saying those places aren’t stunningly gorgeous places you’ll remember the rest of your life, but you’re missing out on a lot of culture, history, and natural beauty just because you can’t close your mouth in the shower. [/quote]

Which countries have water that will most likely make someone sick?[/quote]

The issue is often that it is just not water you will be used to.  For example, in Kenya every Kenyan could drink the water just fine, but it would have made me sick as a foreigner.  In some other places, cities I visited in China for example, even the locals drank purified water.  Other than Europe, and only after I’d gradually acclimated to it over a few weeks, did I ever just drink tap water.  I can’t say I felt the level of dire threat from water others are reporting.  I forgot and brushed my teeth with tap water in Central America and Asia, many times, and I survived.  Just a little diarrhea. The fact that people think we should not travel to see the most amazing places on earth because we might have to drink bottled water is the saddest thing ever.[/quote]
