Drinking Water

In many places, the water is not drinkable. Do as good international travelers do: take your own water in a flask or canteen. Water or juice may be purchased for a reasonable price at stores near airport, bus or train stations. Water may be missing at a dinner table. Ask for it—tap water for free (this could be very risky), or mineral water for a price. The mineral water comes with or without gas (carbonation).
