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.)

Best places for One Piece merch/things to do?

My son has recently become very interested in all things One Piece, and I was wondering if any of you know some fun places to check out for merchandise or One Piece events/activities. I know there used to be the thing at Tokyo Tower, but that has since closed. Any tips would be appreciated!

What are you doing without?

Ever heard of the saying "Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without"? I feel like it's ever-appropriate these days. Are there things that you're trying (or having) to do without, given the cost of living increases? I haven't bought new clothes in quite a while, and I feel like when we first moved here that was something I often did, almost like a hobby. These days I might not be the trendiest, but I use the clothes I have, and I guess I'm more comfortable in my style.

Every year, some years, one and done? How often do you visit local festivals?

One of our biggest annual festivals took place in the last week, and it got me thinking -- with your local area's annual festivals, do you go every year, some years, or check it out once and don't make a repeat appearance? I'd say it's a mixed bag for me: there are some I love going to each year, some that I go to every few years (e.g. if the weather really sucks I'll skip it), and some that I've been to once and didn't find the need to revisit. How about you?

Tips and Tricks for City-Cost images

Are you like me, relying on a mobile device for your photography? I shoot with an iPad Mini 4, now a vintage item! I can't update it to the latest version of iPadOS, but I still get a lot of use out of it. How do you shoot your photos? What photo apps or processing do you use? Have you got tips or tricks on how to shoot or edit the photos you use in blogs?
