    The tap water in Canberra, Australia is the tastiest I’ve tried out of the ~20-50 municipalities I’ve sampled in Australia, Western and Southern Europe, the US, China, Taiwan and Vietnam.

    Also the US is not a third world nation, it’s a developing nation. Or under-developed would be more accurate, but that’s not a popular term. The US is a first world nation by definition, since first world just means the US global empire and it’s allies.

      It tasted better in Canberra before the 2013 bushfire, back when it was filtered through pine needles, before they removed all the pine farms

        Indeed. You can tell if it’s straight out of Googong Dam also.

        Ah, dang. Yeah I was there before 2013 and it was so noticably delicious. The friend I was visiting said it was the first thing her mother had said when visiting as well, how good the tap water was.

        Bummer to hear that’s changed!
