    I spent 6 weeks in a "guest house" (hotel) in the interior of China about 15 years ago. The water had tiny white bugs in it, likely from some kind of tank on the roof. It was disgusting to bathe in, and I was forced to brush my teeth with beer.

    It's odd because it depends on the person! In McKinney Texas, the water is almost like dirt! People who are ammune to it have no idea what im talking about but I can always taste it!

    Bangor, ME water is horrible, believe me! If you don't have a water filter, then you might get sick! You can see things floating in the water. It's gross.

    The worst I've had was in Phoenix, it tasted over chlorinated and very mineraly.

    Also, this one time I was swimming in a stream in Mexico and I accidentally swallowed a mouthful of the water. I got all worried because you're not even supposed to drink the tap water. Luckily nothing bad happened.

    The water in my town is so pure it is sold around the world! So I don't have bad water very often.
    .
    But when I go out of town and drink their water is tastes like BLEACH and grosses me out.
    So I bring a couple gallon jugs with me.

    It was obviously used to wash a salad I ate in Cairo in a supposedly safe restaurant. Can you say Pharaohs curse? Was on the 18th floor of the Marriott there during an earthquake to boot. I was hoping the quake would kill me while I was praying to the porcelain god.

    In the mid 1970's I had terrible tap water from hillcrest water company in Yuba City. My dad wouldn't drink it at all,and I wouldn't either if I hadn't been a kid at the time. What was wrong with it is that it tasted like it came out of a toilet tank. That's bad.
