Where can you get free water?

Simon Smith Reporter from Western Leader

Hi all - when I lived in South Korea I loved that every eatery had free filtered water, often supplied in metal cups and UV sterilised in metal cabinets.

Here in Godzone though it seems we get forced to purchase expensive bottled drinks and hence create waste - when all we want might just be tap water.

Do you know of any food halls that have free water?
Do you ever get made to feel bad for asking just for tap water - and have you been charged for it?

Please let us know if you don't want your comment published.
