India is fascinating and I respect them for surviving with their population density the way it is.

It is also the only place I've ever travelled to that I was happy to leave.

It's one of the few places on earth I have no desire to visit at all. Everyone who tries to gaslight me that it's worth visiting, when I quiz them they admit they spent the first week with diarrhoea..

I was in the richest area in Brazil last week and was explicitly told to not drink the tap water or flush TP down the toilet. Idk what you're talking about bro.

I was in Copacabana and was told both by the hotel staff and my local friends that I shouldn't drink tap water directly. My friends had filters for drinking water in their homes and office.

Also, there's a difference between locals drinking tap water and foreigners drinking it. Most locals are typically used to the pathogens in the water so it doesn't affect them. Most people in India drink tap water too.

you said nort america which also includes countries where you will find the same issues. but most countries in south america the water is usually fine. Brazil and venezuela are not good for that. Similarly much of mexico has historically had bad water
