Too hot or too cold

[Dave Hounddriver]

Recent conversation:

Me:  Honey, I know you say "init" when the water is too hot and you say "bugnaw" when the water is too cold.  What do you say when the water temp is just right?

She:  I forgot because I never use that word.

Maligamgam in tagalog but my wife can't remember the visayan. They tend to say not too hot or not too cold.

When I read the title, I thought this was going to be about the temperatures in places like malls, restaurants and the like. I am pleasantly surprised, here in the Philippines they usually set the A/C to reasonable temperatures. In Thailand, especially in Bangkok, I can’t go anywhere indoor without a warm sweater or I will definitely catch a cold; they use their A/Cs as if electricity was free, it’s a pretty stupid waste of energy, if you ask me.

 Each to our own of course but yes, there is a need at times to check on the Temperatures in malls, restos and bars, the More people say at 25 or 26 but with only a few I see no reason for 18 as some have it but i can't spend a day in this heat without my A/C

Such are my thoughts, as to cost well, if you can afford to be comfortable then be comfortable

Comfort is important, of course. But if you’re walking through a mall in Thailand, you’ll notice that most employees wear relatively warm clothes (certainly warmer than what they wear outside), and that just seems absurd on so many levels. I guess the reasoning is that the customers will spend more time inside the mall if they maintain such a low temperature. I don’t know if it works for the majority, but for me it has the opposite effect.

The 7/11 stores are indeed the worst in that respect, I’ve been in a few of them in Bangkok, and it is quite a shock. Then you notice that the employees are usually dressed in warm, long-sleeved sweaters with high collars and you wonder why...
