The first water fountain I&#x27;ve seen anywhere here in Mexico was just installed last year. It&#x27;s in Chapultepec Park on the walk up to the Castle. The water comes out very cold. Outside that one, even airports and public offices don&#x27;t have any.<p>It&#x27;s quite a contrast to the USA. Bottled water, on the other hand, is very cheap in Mexico compared to El Norte.<p>So some modern nations have never adopted the water fountain fad. It&#x27;s too bad -- they&#x27;re pretty nice.
