 |
|
someone recently wrote about electric blankets here in korea, and i was wondering if anyone has one and found that they've saved a substantial amount of money on their ondol heating?
i get cold really easily and i found last year i ended up with rather large utility bills after cranking the heat. |

Get yourself one of these Icing hot water bottles/ice packs for 8,000 won. Put boiling water in it and place it in your bed. I guarrantee that you'll sweat like a pig!! They really work great!
They're available in those wellbeing shops on Jongro between Jongro 5 ga - Dongdaemoon - Dongmyoe.

Have the blanket and a space heater! NEVER use oil in the winter!!
I got a HUGE Bill my first winter and choked. went the other route and works very well for me! Think my elecric bill went up maybe 20,000 won

OH and if your bed is cozy and warm and your room is a little cold then it make you want to snuggle  more |
