105. So we are all agreed then, tap water is good in Croatia.
Bottled water is old stale water. How long has it been in the warehouse for, how long was it in the lorry for and how long has it been on the shelf for? It's also contaminated by plastic. Still if you want to pay for it.

The water in Croatia depends a lot on where you are.
Zagreb water, for a city is pretty clean, compared to London or New York. I think the water tastes better than English Water though in Croatia lead pipes are still used in the old buildings. This can make people sick.
There is also a lot of calcium in the water and that too can make your stomach upset if you are not used to it and it can cause unpleasent stones in sensitive areas......
In Ivanic Grad the water is really sick, tastes of chemicals and smells or amonia. So it counters the argument.
I generally boil my water and then put it through my Britta filter.
YOu know what it then tastes like? Studena Mineral Water! haha, serious though!

...that stuff about lead pipes is truly nonsense, because everyone would get lead poisoning and die. That's what happened to the Romans and is one of the reasons their empire declined.
At least in Croatia you are not drinking the same water six times over, like in London.

Exactly, but in Aberdeen for example you get a grant to change your lead pipes for new ones.
There must be a reason for that, certainly it would take a long time to get affected but it would happen..........
I like the water here anyways.

E moj davide pljujes po hrvatskoj gore od smrtnog neprijatelja.
I just want to say that i live in a small city and here when you go for a nice walk you gona stop evry minute to speak with a friend,and the time goes slowly there is no stress ,but only beautifull sea and people. you can sleep on the main square with 1000 euro in your pocket and noone will mug you.
I dont know much about zagreb but i only try to say that croats dont have much money but they live slowly and good life.
Hvala svim pozdrav.

I'm in England too just now...Traffic, cold wind, crowds, louts...... and I really miss the blonde and the brunette from "Explosiv". Are they the world's most beautiful women? They get my vote.
Roll on January.
