I chose this topic for my first blog post, because you cannot survive the obnoxiously hot and humid Japanese summer without air conditioner.
You think it is a bit too early to use an air conditioner? Well, maybe. But you'll use it sooner or later. Look at your remote. You'll find mostly kanji (Chinese characters) and some hiragana or katakana on it.
Learn to decipher the air conditioner terms now and get yourself ready, so that you can avoid the risk of pressing the "暖房（heating）" button on a steamy hot day.
