now she takes the cold tap water and heats that
are you going to show her cold water pipes?
Cold water is right from the mains
yeah
have you seen the rust on those
and in those
cold water is generally considered safe to drink in Switzerland and controlled frequently
the pipes are really well maintained
Don't use hot water for anything but washing, hot water even from a home boiler tastes weird
obv
oh yeah
don't they drink hot water in china?
since I moved out for uni, hot water gets brought up in every call with chink mum
I still don't know how to listen to 20 mins of chink health advice and still remain polite
got to the point where I said to move on or I'll hang up, after I told multiple times to move on
just smoke that tiger balm B)
no dont be stupid, that gives you alzheimers
you re supposed to rub it into your gum
although tiger balm is fucking magic
for bug bites
and I get about a dozen bites every single week
@Deleted User yes, but its not just that - they think cold water is hazardous to your health, like really fucking dangerous
I had a friend who I met in Texas, he was from the chinese city i live in now, actually. He studied and lived in USA for 5 years without returning to mainland once, and he came back a few months ago for a visit a few times
he was like disgusted. He kept telling me he had culture shock in china and how he wanted to go back to usa
how he didnt realize how shitty everything was in china before, but now that he's back he hated it so much
he even didnt want to spend time with his family - since they would never shut the fuck up about him saying that china is better than USA, pressuring him to do shit etc.
he was here for like 5 days after 5 years visit, then left early to travel in nearby countries
I've been thinking about what I actually like about mainland China and the best I've come up with is there are some nice scenary
they're pretty scarce and far
yeah its tough to get to some of the better ones because you need a bus or something
but they are nice
Well it kindof makes sense i guess that they think cold water is bad for you
i don't think the tap water quality is that good in china
so they probably boil it before drinking or something
trouble is, they often carry that mentality when them when they migrate to first world countries where they know its reasonably safe
case in point: my chink mum
yeah
Cold water =/= dirty water
They don't even drink cold bottled water
Even if the water is safe they drink hot . Has nothing to do with dirty water
They think our bodies are hot hot hot so if you bring your temperature down with cold stuff you'll get sick
lol
