    And seriously. You can just ask for some water at any bar or coffeeshop.

    Maybe at American airports; I don’t remember the last time I tried. I do remember trying at the Frankfurt airport and being rudely disabused of the idea. May have been 10 euros for water—8, at least.

      Frankfurt has water fountains all over. How you miss them is beyond me. But maybe you were there 20 years ago, what do I know.

        I don’t doubt that there are—and were—water fountains around. It was in a cafe at the airport; I asked for a glass of water (to go with my sandwich or something, I don’t recall) and the woman actually said to me, “In Germany, we pay for our water!” So you can see why it would stick with me. This was ~10 years ago.
