Water
I just ordered a water delivery and the conversation went like this: "Hello." "Hi. I would like to have a delivery of water, please." "Oh, you're the foreigner up there on Beidi Road?" "Yes, that's right." "Ok, sure, no problem. "OK, thanks." I may be this distributor's only customer where I live, and certainly I am the only foreign customer they have out here. Water that is drinking/cooking water comes in large plastic water bottles such as for water coolers. I have about three kinds of water. Water from the tap, which I only use to wash dishes, clothes and for bathing; water in the plastic big bottle that comes via delivery for cooking and tea, and finally bottled mineral water which I prefer for drinking.
