Mayim (Water)

I love water.  You may know that I drink a lot of water, rarely found outside my home without my "green" waterbottle or inside my home without a glass of my beloved hydrogen hydroxide. 

The Israeli summer is quite warm, and I find myself walking in the sun quite frequently; thus, I try to drink a lot of water to prevent dehydration.  Upon arriving at Beit Nativ, I could not help but notice how the water tasted less delicious than that of home.  I would refill my waterbottle with a touch of resentment, aware that my hydration would come at a small cost.  Then, just yesterday, after refilling my waterbottle and taking a sip, I noticed something.  The water did not taste strange! 

Trivia: What is the salt concentration in the Dead Sea?  Around 31.5% (according to Wikipedia)

  2. Theoretically, people can eat saltless popcorn. I don't quite understand, but...
