a hundred words about drinking water
Nat’s overheard-in-KL reminds me of a similar experience, in reverse:
When we were first building expertise in our KL office, we would hire top graduates fresh out of Malaysian universities and bring them to Perth to learn our business.
One of these grads had been in Perth for two or three years, and was getting ready to return. One day he saw me walk over to the kitchenette and down a big mug of water from the tap.
And he shouts across the room, “The water is safe to drink here? We have been boiling it needlessly the entire time?”
