    Seriously I think you’re absolutely right it’s one of those things everyone is so used to we don’t even realise how bad it is compared to other places.

    Yea … and apart from obviously dilapidated or traditional housing … just about no one else is just powering through the cold like we do. Which is weird, because we love our homes and houses (apparently).

      Japanese houses are also mostly uninsulated and they just use space heaters. More modern homes are starting to use mini splits, which sometimes have heat, but that’s kind of just a better space heater.
