We moved to this city in March of 2005. Because it was almost spring and we just returned from Korea, we only bought Kotatsu heating table, harogen heater and hot carpet to keep us warm. When we lived in Korea, we used Ondol heating system, so there were no electrical heating appliances. But for the past few days, it's been relatively cold. So our home is slowly getting ready for this coming winter,too. On the last day of our 3 days weekend, we went to the elecrical appliances stores on holiday sale in our city to buy heating electrical appliance. Like last time we went to buy hiroro's note PC, I got some good discount. And when I was negotiating my discount, a elderly couple walked by and negotiated their way into my discount. We both bought the same heater. Anyways, now we're ready for this coming winter. I guess I won't be hybernating this winter.
