Black Cat, its hard to twist your posts because a lot of them start out as (entertaining and with their points) rants that start out at one place and crescendo into something else. You twist them yourself. You get worked up when writing them and what starts as a few sentences talking about temperatures in the 20s ends up with exclamatory statements about Koreans and 40 degree temperatures.

As opposed to me who rambles incoherently for far too long.

The fact is that it has been unusually cool this September, combined with steady winds. It also chilled rather rapidly compared to other years past.

And yes, some people find 68 pleasant, some find it a tolerable room temperature and some find it uncomfortably cold. Same with 80 degrees, only uncomfortably hot. That's a difference of 12 degrees Fahrenheit and whatever smaller number of degrees Celsius. Certainly within the range of weather we've experienced.

And certainly understandable for a girl expecting weather to be like a week before and stepping out in a short skirt or shorts and a thin shirt and running into unusually cold temperatures. Unless I am mistaken and you regularly frolic around in Daisy Dukes.

C'mon SR .. Koreans have a weird relationship to temperature.. This topic comes up every year.. Once my folks visited and on arriving at their hotel they were shocked to find the room temperature insanely hot... Koreans heat their apartments like most countries do only for frail elderly people- that's not healthy nor economical.. Massive waste of energy and money..

And when complaining of cold when the temperature is in the 20's makes little sense- they know what real cold is cos the temperature hits lows of -15 easily in the winter.. 25 degrees in Korean climate terms is warm- that is an objective fact. You could forgive them if they came from some African or Middle East countries where they really never feel the cold...

As other have said- it's suddenly Autumn cos the calendar says it is.. Not cos its actually cold- and this nonsense would be tolerable if they didn't try to force their dopey beliefs on others- they adjummas are already tut-tutting cos my son is running around happily in shorts and T-shirts - and sweating.. But no .. They are insisting he should be in warm clothes now.. It's 25+ degrees FGS!i actually don't think they feel its cold.. They just believe it must be because of the date and because there is a spectacular lack of common sense in this country..

I don't know where you guys live/work, but I'm still finding a surprising amount of air conditioners on when I think an open window and a fan would suffice, and I don't find it unusual to see the air conditioner set on the lowest setting regardless of the outside temp.

Ya'll don't honestly think that every single Korean in Korea is feeling cold at this moment, do you?
