how to cool our room

Though there is a heater in each room of our house, not air conditioner in each room of our house.

Yuki's room has not an air conditioner. It often causes a little quarrel between in summer.

Why his room has not an air conditioner?

Officially, there are two reasons.

We don't have a habit of sleeping with an air conditioner on.

We never have central air conditioner in our house, so even if each room gets cold by the air conditioner, once we go out of the room to the toilet, we should be attracted by "humid"and "hot" wind. I think the difference of the temperatures is bad for our health. So we want the wind to go through the windows open.

And other reasons are like that.

He is not at home in the hot daytime except for his one-week summer holiday.

If his room has an air conditioner, he turns on the air conditioner as soon as he enters his room when he comes back at night and starts napping holding a glass of SAKE on his hand with an air conditioner on. It is not good for his health.

And---
the electric cost will immediately get higher. (It is the main reason).

While his summer vacation, if everybody (including our daughters) is in the house, we don't have enough ampere-capacity to turn on three air conditioner on the same time.

(Well, it means, our living room and our daughters' room have air conditioners.)

(And additionally the problem of ampere-capacity just depends on our contract how we'll pay our basic electric cost)

When you read the above, you must have thought "how strict Mieko is!","how stingy Mieko is!"

These days I started to change my mind, so I confessed our circumstance about air conditioners.

On the other hand Yuki seems to change his mind. He seems to start to think that keeping his room (very)cold by the air conditioner is not good for his health. "Sweating" naturally is good for his health and to keep good condition to play golf in the hot day.

Well, Well, please let me explained more. This house "never" has central air conditioner. So even if each room gets cool by the air conditioner, once we open the door to go to toilet, humid and hot air attacks us. So we open all windows and doors for wind to go through.

Anyway we went to a home center.

Can you guess what he bought???

It is called "HIEHIE-mat", it's a cold mat that inside is cool gel. I don't know the mechanism to get us cool. According to some websites the evaporation of heat has something to do with the sheet.

Additionally I bought a small fan to put near me.

Well, well, anyway until August 10th, I hope we will have been keeping a good relation ship to do duo smoothly at Karaku.
