We're in a one-room apartment so probably that helps - but on the other hand the unit is probably old enough to pre-date the concept of energy efficiency. Your aircon bill sounds really expensive although Korean Mother warned us of those kinds of costs too. I don't know what to think about it really.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15349691823513127693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268789363253190247.post-44875927835932944642007-08-24T15:22:00.000+09:002007-08-24T15:22:00.000+09:00Anonymous - fortunately we don't seem to have the ...Anonymous - fortunately we don't seem to have the same problems with the cold as the heat - but I'm sure Busan is warmer than some of the inland areas and then if it's anything like the UK with global warming the winters thirty years ago were probably harsher than they are today.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15349691823513127693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268789363253190247.post-63286491891146753972007-08-24T10:59:00.000+09:002007-08-24T10:59:00.000+09:00You left your air conditioner on for the entire mo...You left your air conditioner on for the entire month, or only one day?<BR/>Because if you left it on for the month during the day, and your electric bill is only 54,000 won, I'd like to know how you do it. If we run our air con for only a few hours, a few days a month, our bill goes up by 100,000 won or more, depending on how much we use it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268789363253190247.post-22001888545925549232007-08-24T07:26:00.000+09:002007-08-24T07:26:00.000+09:00When I was a PCV in the 70;s teaching ESL at a Mid...When I was a PCV in the 70;s teaching ESL at a Middle School we had one small, sometimes lit stove in the middle of the room for those very cold Korean winters.
