A Funny Song

Hannah found this song the other week.  It's in Japanese but has English subtitles.

The reason it is so funny is that it is really true, especially where I live.  The houses here are
built for the summers which are long, hot and humid.  So no central heating, although some newer
houses have under floor heating, but I don't know how good it is!  Also no double glazing.  The most common form of heating is paraffin heaters. Although most air conditioners have an heating element and are very popular.  The house that I am in has city gas, but it is so expensive.  We use a kotasu table, a low table with a heater built in it and covered with a futon.  Gets nice and toasty but like the poor penguin it is difficult to get out.  Each room is heated independently, so moving from room to room is awful.  We are lucky that winter here is not too harsh and it only gets really cold in January and February!
