If I had a choice mate I wouldn’t let it haha. I live in Australia, we make houses that don’t qualify as tents in the rest of the world.
No real insulation (tiny amount in roof but downlights punch a hole through it), single glazed windows, doors that don’t seal. Power costs too much to run heating :') it’s good shit.
One of my coworkers is an Aussie and we live somewhere that the winters hover around 0 C. I was trying to explain that snow here is annoying but it never feels truly cold, and the incredulous facial expression I got back reminded me of the vastly different experiences of humanity.
When I moved to Los Angeles, I opened a bank account and while chatting with the bank employee, I found out she’d never seen snow up close. She’d only ever seen it on the mountains in the distance. That boggled my mind.
I have had friends from colder places come stay and say they’ve never felt as bitterly cold as winter in Sydney.
When I spent some time in the snowfields in aus I was actually warm. Turns out if you build houses properly you don’t even really need much heating. Residual heat from cooking and body heat hangs around for a long time, we’d only light the fire mornings and evenings.
