I met with friend who came from Russia today. And first question she asked me – Do you call this winter?..
It’s -20 at my home town now, and it’s snowing almost everyday. So here, with +10 and sun, it really feels strange. Can’t say anything here though, I think I already forgot how cold it can be back home 🙂 Though the good thing – we had central heating.
But I found a good way to fight with cold without spending too much electricity on air conditioner – there’s special aluminum sheets sold at 100 yen shops, and you can use it to keep the heat inside the room. The only bad point is that it won’t let any sunlight in. So I had to choose carefully where to use it. Another thing you can use is bubble wrap sheets – they create nice barrier if you put it on window frame.
And other thing, of course, to get kotatsu 😉
In case you don’t know what it is – here’s the link from wiki: Kotatsu
But you need to be careful with it – try not to overheat your legs, as it could lead to bad blood circulation, and another danger is that you wouldn’t want to get out of it 🙂
Keep warm, everybody.
