AC temperature?

What temperature do you set your AC at? I keep mine at 27. It’s not the coolest but it is good enough to be comfortable, but my friends said that’s nothing. Granted, my place is not that big. What about you all?

Games, manga, and ramen. Those three things make up my Tri-force lol.

    Our main one is at 22.5 today :-o But its 38 outside and its only just noon. This past week its been at 23, but earlier in the month we had it at 25. Its a 14 tatami room though so its harder to cool down. Still feels hot with it on!

    Usually we keep 26 degree during the day and 25 in the night for sleeping. But for my husband it´s always too cold, while I feel way too hot.

    27 to 28 usually. In general, it is recommended not to have more than 5 degrees difference to the outside temperature to avoid cooler sickness.

    I set mine so I have around 28 degrees inside. Sometimes that's at 22, sometimes it's at 26. It's a big room and the outside temperature has a huge influence on whether the airconditioning is effective or not. Make sure you have your air-con cleaned when the summer is over. It's prone to get mouldy when used at a higher temperature setting.

    I only have one AC unit in my 1LDK apartment. I abandoned the bedroom because it's too hot, and live only in the 10 mat LDK part in the summer. AC is on power saving mode at about 26. Most nights, I turn the AC off and just use a fan with windows open. To keep heat out I put sudare, bamboo blinds on the veranda and windows, and curtains are closed.. I bought cheap vinyl liners for the curtains to block out light and provide insulation.

    24 but it's only on a few hours a day, up to half a day if we're home the whole time. I used to turn it off I was home alone and I'm the only one here who doesn't get heat rashes and run on the warm side naturally, but it's just been too hot and humid this year for me. We use fans at night usually with the AC off.

    We keep it at the highest setting (30) during the hottest time of day if we're at home, maybe 29. This is with a fan on to move the cool air around. My husband just changed some setting about saving energy, so I'm gonna find out what he did so I can share it in a blog later.

    Supposedly it saves energy to change the 'wind amount' (風量) to automatic (自動). I'm not sure if all units have this button, but worth a try if yours does. (Not complicated enough to warrant a blog.)

Favorite Pocky/Pretz flavor?

November 11th is Pocky/Pretz day, with the date (11/11) meant to resemble the popular snack icons. Do you have a favorite flavor of Pocky or Pretz? Are you a fan of the traditional flavors (e.g. chocolate or strawberry Pocky) or have any limited-time/special flavors taken your fancy?

Your food culture, adapted well or?

My family's food culture is a mashup, a mix of Ukrainian, Near Eastern, Scottish, and Irish cuisine with a sprinkling of South American ingredients due to migration. It's pretty wild even before I adapt my dishes to ingredients I can source in Japan. Do you find you keep your recipes strictly orthodox, or do you mix it up? What combos of cuisines and dishes appeal to you and your family?
