Cold cold cold

After three full days of in-home visits I have to conclude that people don't put much heating in their house. I've been told that housewives think it's s waste of money to heat up the whole house when they are alone. I understand the point yet this is 21st century and there are ways to heat up only parts of a house. 

I have been sitting inside houses with my coat on or on my lap as it seems to be the local habit. Now I understand why so many of my colleagues have a blanket in the office. They have been raised in a country where you cover your legs to stay warm. 

I can't wait to go back to Singapore and feel warm.
