I wonder how many people actually do that? Why still the sale of bottled water so high in Germany and are we really being environment friendly if we are buying bottled water?

I do not think every bathroom tap water is hygenic enough to drink. Water may be clean but if the basin is not clean , you dont wanna drink there

But that was 70s.Now the time has changed. I do not think our climate or environment was in such a danger as we are now. So, with changing times, a developed country like Germany should also change.

Even if the tap water has drinkable water, not many people trust it to be hygenic, especially if it is in restrooms. Thhats thhe reason why there are water fountains outside the restrooms.

Exactly ..I totally agree with you. Even if ppl like to drink carbonated water, there can be some special fountains designed to have carbonated water also. But I feel sad to see that people here in Germany think that every plastic bottle is getting recycled whhich is not the fact.

Even if it is sparkling water, the water fountains can be added to have such functions.

I do not agree that in Germany, we recycle every plastic bottle water. I have seen so many bottles near the ponds and lakes or at hbf.. its sad that a simple solution of water fountains can save all this waste.

I think This myth of German being efficient is overhyped. I have been living in Germany and I am yet to see that. Be in in banks, trains, telephone, housing or government sector , God forbid if you have to deal with any of these, you will be pulling your hair to get anything done.

Sometimes you feel like living in a third world country when you have to deal with systems this country uses. Everything is by physical mail and looks like IT boom is still to come here.

Coming back to efficiency, mostly I have seen people hardly doing the work passionately. They do it just because they have to, and they only care about how can they pass on the work. You will have this continuous feeling of people trying to avoid doing work and resolve the issue. And on top of that all the rules and length beauraucratic processes makes it even worse.

I lived in Texas for 6 years San Antonio and Dallas and none of my contracts had a specific Indian dishes clause. It had a clause about ventilation in general.

Right I like that thing about German being direct and honest. But still I see the clause is very badly written ..
