Aircon Nation

I admit I am one that cannot survive without air-conditioning.

Just look at all the aircon condensers. Looks like I am not the only one.

    I just had a korean colleague who complained that the temp indoors in hotels in sing is just too cold for him. We were like 'what? u come from the cold cold land of seoul'. He was like 'yea, but our aircond in summer is set at 24degrees C.. u guys have it at 12degrees indoors!'

  5. This looks like the back lanes of boat quay? The building looks like one of those skyscrapers in CBD ;-)

  6. I belongs to the minority...lol. I prefer the fan than the air conditioning unless it is extremely hot. I guess living on the higher floors help. My two sons are like you...lol.

  7. Wow! That is a lot of air conditioning units.

    How much is your electricity bill a month? When I lived in NYC with A/C, I paid roughly $45/month in winter and $80/month in summer.

  8. the writer,
    thanks :-)

    marley,
    you need the coolers here in Singapore! unless it's raining. :-)

    Leif Hagen,
    Hmmmm i wonder if there's statistics available somewhere.

    cumi & ciki,
    sure or not? I thought they have this campaign in Spore that asks everything to set the aircon at 25 degrees C.

    I like 24C. Think it's just nice. Not too warm and not too cold :-)

    anon,
    yes! spot on!

    alicesg,
    In the day time when I am at home, I use the fan. Only when I am sleeping at night, we turn on the aircon.

    SCPHP,
    Thanks :-)

    Ming,
    Here it is summer all year long. It is around $90/month. It all depends on the oil prices too. The rates in Singapore fluctuate with the global oil prices.
