水 (WATER)

第一天到柬埔寨,不清楚为什么到处都有卖矿泉水。直到我冲凉时才知道原因。那儿的水有一种奇怪的味道,洗脸时,眼睛就好像碰到海水,刺刺的感觉。早上和晚上刷牙时,我用矿泉水漱口,因为我真的不习惯那味道。

去到越南的北部,那种味道还存在,只是没那么重。到了越南北部,那些水的素质好了一点,但也不比马来西亚的好。原来我们是那么的幸运...........

The first day in Cambodia, everywhere is selling mineral water or drinking water in bottles. People said that water in Cambodia is not clean.

Okay, at first, I really don’t believe it. When I got my first bath in Cambodia, then only I know how clean the water is. The tap water is in brown colour with a funny smell. When I wash my face, I felt like I’m using sea water, not tap water. When I brush my teeth, I really wanna skip it! The fresh toothpaste smell can’t even cover the funny smell of the water. So, I ended up using mineral water to brush my teeth.

The funny smell of the water exists in the South of Vietnam also (Saigon, Nha Trang, etc). The quality of the water improve moving from South to North of Vietnam.

How lucky is Malaysian with all the clean tap water provided. So, don’t simply waste water. :)
