Is this some kind of joke? The picture of "Jersey" is a picture of France, not Jersey. The tap water is undrinkable and the place isn't safe? Are you having a laugh? It's one of the safest, cleanest places on earth. The only thing that's true is the cost of living, Jersey is extremely nice but the price for that niceness is insane.
