water

There's a shiny metal box outside my office, where water is kept colder than the ambient temperature. I just got asked by a Thai teacher if it was clean. I replied that I thought it was, I've been drinking it for a while (I started shortly after I was told that the other metal thing with water is not for drinking). She asked if I was sure, and I quickly responded No, generating in her one of the most heartfelt laughs I've gotten out of one of my Thai coworkers. As I walked off, she said, "In the future, it will be clean, coming soon." I hope I don't find out the hard way what she means.
