I've to admit, I'm a sparkling water guy (I carbonate my tap water). Then again I'm German and as I just read we seem to be a bit 'special' in that regard.

Yes, sparkling water tastes much better!

Other countries just don't know what's good.

I was surprised you need to specify for tap water at restaurants, otherwise they'll assume you want carbonated

That's interesting. My grandfather was German and they always had a soda siphon in the house ready in the fridge. They didn't drink alcohol much other than wine, so it wasn't for that. That makes a lot more sense now.
