The Expat Files

Water Wars - Part 2: - Pulling a fast one with bottled water labeling down here - lies and more lies. - Sun-baked bottled water,... that’s exactly what you’re drinking (but they won’t put that on the label). - Two very excellent (and dirt cheap) alternatives to bad bottled water (though one’s ugly and one’s pretty). - Why many dirt poor rural dwellers have cheap (or even free) access to ultra-pure water when better-off city dwellers continue to drink the swill (and don’t even know it). - Email questions on detailing a house in exotic hardwoods (and other high grade materials unavailable to the common guy in the 1st world), and all for the price of cheap pine.
