Where the heck do you live where you can't buy isopropanol, yet have a supply of propene? (or is this just meant to be theoretical?)

Well if i could buy it i simplly wouldn't write this post. I don't have yet some propene.
I just asked because it's the only process i found on the web. I would like to know about simpler & easier processes though. If that was the the
easiest one, in which conditions should it be done? does it need a catalyst (like mercury in methane hydration) & finally i need some équations
(i am comfused because according to propanol 2 formula, it would be prepared from propane instead!!)

I think the acid-catalyzed addition of water would yield isopropanol. The electrophilic addition would follow Markovnikov's (sp?) rule to give the
secondary carbocation, followed by nucleophilic addition of water to the carbocation and loss of a proton to give isopropyl alcohol.
