Water on Wheels


In most places in China the tap water is not drinkable. So, these water guys on bicycles are a common sight on the streets. How they can ride their bikes in crowded traffic with six big water bottles balanced on the back is more than I can figure out. But, they do this with ease. Sometimes you forget to order your water and then it's a real bummer in the morning when you can't make coffee. It's a real language breakthrough when you can finally order your water in Chinese with confidence. We just ordered water today. Two big bottles. They usually arrive within a half hour of your call and deliver right into your apt. and install one bottle in the dispenser. Water on wheels took some getting used to, but it really is pretty convenient.
