Ask anyone from New Zealand, leaving your curtains open at night will make your room colder. The cool air from outside will come inside, and you’ll probably get sick from sleeping in a cold room. This is what I have always known to be true.
In Japan at the moment, it is ridiculously hot. I can’t put into words how hot it is. It is routinely breaking 30, and with the added humidity it feels like 40 or higher. These are temperatures that I couldn’t hope to imagine while living in Wellington, let alone Dunedin.
Because of the heat, It’s difficult to sleep at night. You turn on your air conditioning to make the room cool, but then straight away it would get hot again. I assumed this was just because of the extremity of the heat, so I was dealing with it. However, last night I had the aforementioned revelation, I’ve been sleeping with my curtains open.
If you’d asked me if I even had curtains, I probably would have said no. I didn’t even register they were there because it never occured to me to close them. It was too hot. And we dont close curtains when it’s hot. And yet, last night I closed my curtains, and the heat stayed out of my room.
Curtains truly are amazing. Not only can they keep the heat in, but they can also keep it out. We really are living in the future.
Way to mess up equilibrium.
With the concentration of colder air higher in your room than outside, who knows what will happen to the world as we speak? I DEMAND YOU TO OPEN UP THAT WINDOW. Sheesh. If a meteorite comes crashing into my room, I’ll know who to blame.
This entire entry has gotten me all hyped up about the second law of thermodynamics. Heat. Window. Air conditioner. You. Entropy. THE UNIVERSE.
But I don’t think you care, so I’m going back to eating.
You are learning so many wonderful new things your Mummy is proud of you
