The remote control for my air conditioner ran out of batteries, so for the time being there is no way I will be able to turn it off. And since one of my flatmate's own air conditioning system collapsed, leading him to spend more time in the common room and since I like my privacy, I am stuck inside my room with a micro-climate of nineteen degrees Celsius. Which is good, since I like cooler temperatures, but at the same time is quite funny since I have to either wear more clothes or snug under the bed sheets, as opposed to simply turning the aircon off.
In a way, it is the exact opposite of people who in winter adjust their home's thermostat so as to be able to circulate with little (or no) clothing inside, and when going outside they must put several layers of clothes on. In my case, I have to pretty much strip before leaving my room, which makes me shiver during the short seconds that precede the encounter with Hong Kong's scorching summer waiting on the other side of the door.
Air conditioning gets added to my list of humanity's best inventions ever (together with others such as the toilet, toilet paper and plungers).
