 |
|
If you're living in Gyeonki or Kangwon Province, beware of drinking tap water.
They just reported that water from above provinces have been tested and found extremely high radioactivity. Prolonged drinking tap water from those areas will cause various cancer. |

| Too late. I already got stung in Gyeongi-do on a hot Summers bottled-waterless hangover day. My ass almost caught fire by the end of the suffering of every hour of 2 days. |

I thought the Nuclear test by North Korea was October 9, 2006? In any case, I drink bottled water since I have read in Lonely Planet that there are traces of arsenic & heavy metals in tap water here.

Now, they can add traces of uranium and other radioactive minerals to that list in Lonely Planet.  |

But thank God they're protecting us against those bone fragments found in the American beef shipments they've been kicking back !
I used to filter through a Brita filter in Bundang for use in cooking rice and such. Every two weeks or so, some kind of green algae would start to grow on the bottom of the plastic pitcher. I used to clean the pitcher only once a month when I changed the filter. Had to start cleaning it weekly. Eventually just gave it up. . .
Still, the main point: I have never ever had anything grow in my Brita pitcher ! I used to use one in the states and didn't wash the pitcher for two months or more and nothing ever grew in it. I've used them in other countries too - - Middle East, Europe, South America: only in Korea (and only in Bundang, not other areas in Korea I lived) did algae somehow get past the filter and start to grow in the pitcher!
Someone suggested maybe the Brita filters being sold in Korea were fakes. (They sell for 10,000 Won each, BTW, while they sell for about $4 each in Walmart in the states.) But, I never bought the Korean ones. I had someone send some from the states. |
