When I asked a foreigner why he was drinking bottled water from the guest room instead of drinking the bottled water provided in the hotel room.
A New Zealand citizen just arrived at a large hotel in Yangon.
The hotel put enough bottled water in his room every day.
But he didn’t drink the new bottled water.
When I first arrived, I always refilled the water bottle (waters cooler) in the lobby.
Seeing that he was drinking every day, the waiter asked the guest with a strange look…
Excuse me please…
Why do you have to fill up and drink water in the living room with just one box after being given new bottles?! Of course…
Guest New Zealander said…,
I drink 3 bottles of water a day…, I will stay in Yangon for a month…! When I go back, I don’t want to leave 90 water bottles (3 bottles for 30 days = 90) as waste in Myanmar… the wind…,
I read it more than 5 years ago. An article I remembered.
I think hundreds of people drink new bottles of water…, I am ashamed of some Burmese people who think it is culture that they threw it away when they broke it and didn’t drink half of it.
Dear guest…
Ever since I read that article, I don’t need new bottles anymore, even though I’m getting them for free. As much as possible, I changed the water from the big bottle to the small bottle and started drinking. .
