A/C is a waste of electricity unless essential for health or work.

If I can inject a wee bit of realism here....For those of us who are a little older and live in the Arctic tundra, coming down overnight to Zih's heat and humidity can hit us over the head like a bag of fallen coconuts. AC becomes almost a necessity, at least at first. It's only when we become acclimated, say two to four weeks in, that AC becomes unnecessary.

I also love how our air smells here: a freshness of the sea mixed with a light scent of wood smoke, fresh coffee brewing, and a nearby bakery. Smells that give me goosebumps and cause me to sigh with contentment.

I have to wonder if the smell of fresh cement gives you goosebumps too, perhaps of a different kind.
