Water Tanks

When Eli, my son, was little he pronounce a few words differently. So "water tank" became use "water tink" and "candy" became "kingee". I think now at 29,  he has mastered the sound of the short "a". But I remember driving around Dallas when he was a  three-year-old and having him point out each water tank and call it a "water tink". From his car seat in the back seat it was always a surprise.

Water tanks are only for large institutions in Taiwan, as most buildings have their own water tanks, so I always have a double reason for noticing the "water tinks". Usually, in Taiwan, each unit has it's own pump and pumps water up to it's own tank.

Usually a school will have it's own water tank.


There are alway built with concrete, the cheap building material in Taiwan. Metal not so cheap.
Check that, some are made of metal.
And the smaller ones can be made from plastic.
