Spring Water
Water is my favourite drink. I usually drink hot water and room-temperature water. What kind of water do I drink? I drink spring water or well water. We get spring water from the spring near our house.
This spring water has a very smooth mouthfeel, like Evian, hard water. It's hard water but with a very soft taste and easy to drink. I read that there is hard water in Europe and North America.
My favourite spring water in my hometown is usually soft. I love soft and smooth water. However, I like the spring water in my current area even though it's hard water. Whenever I go to the spring spot and fill our water tank, I also bring my bottle. I drink super fresh spring water here. It tastes very sweet when I boil it.
How about our well water? When we checked the quality of our well water, it was perfect without any problems. It's pretty good, but sometimes it smells super earthy. I usually boil it when I make tea or soup. When I wash my hair, I feel it's a bit hard using the well water. This well water stains our bathtub or toilet. I got used to using city tap water in my hometown or even in town when I moved into this area. Since I got used to using the well water, I started noticing the tap water smells more chemically compared to the well water. The well water is more earthy, and wild, and tastes good.
These photos are of lakes. I am surrounded by the ocean, rivers, and lakes in my area. I don't drink lake or river water, but living near water is super relaxing.
I am glad that I experienced drinking spring water or well water like this in my daily life because I like to feel water very much. I don't know why, but I love to feel water very much. I love to swim in water. I would like to have clean and pure water on the earth, but we are facing a severe water issue. I wonder how long we can drink spring water...

湧水
水は大好きな飲み物で、いつも白湯や室温の水を飲んでいます。どんな水を飲むのかというと、湧水や井戸水を主に飲んでいます。近所の湧水がわいているところでくんで飲んでいます。
この湧水はとても口当たりが良くて硬水のエビアンに似ています。硬水ですが柔らかくて飲みやすいです。ヨーロッパや北アメリカの湧水は硬水が多いらしいです。
故郷の好きな湧水は軟水が多いです。私はやわらかくて滑らかな水が好きです。今飲んでいる水は硬水なのにも関わらず、やわらかい感じがして飲みやすいのです。湧水を汲みに行くときは、タンクと一緒にボトルも一緒に持って行きます。くみたての新鮮な水をその場で飲みます。沸かして飲んでもすごく美味しい水です。
それでは家の井戸水はどうかというと…。井戸水の水質を検査したところ全く問題なくいい状態でしたが、ときどきかなり土っぽい味がすることがあります。お茶やスープを使うときには沸かして使います。この井戸水を使用して髪を洗うと少し硬くて髪の毛がキシキシします。この井戸水はバスタブやトイレを赤土色に染めてしまいます。自分の国では市の水道水を使用することに慣れすぎていましたし、この町に移り住んできた時も初めは町の水道水が通っているところに住んでいました。こうして井戸水を使うことに慣れてくると、水道水が化学薬品くさいというか井戸水に比べると不思議な味に感じるようになりました。井戸水の方が土臭くてワイルドな感じがします。そしておいしいです。
これは湖の写真です。海、川、湖に囲まれた地域に住んでいます。湖や川の水は飲みませんが、水の近くに住めることでリラックスできます。
湧水や井戸水を毎日飲んで生活できることがとても貴重な体験だと思います。私は水を側に感じることがとても心地よいです。なぜかはわからないのですが、常に水を感じていたいと思います。水の中で泳ぐのも大好きです。地球上の水がキレイで純であって欲しいと願いますが、深刻な水問題があります。あとどのくらいキレイな湧水を飲むことができるのかなと考えます…。
