They use kerosene heaters and a traditional heating method called a kangri, which is a basket with hot coals that they keep under their cloaks (and subsequently is associated with a form of cancer from the soot). But I can understand why they don't have central heating. There is no natural gas line infrastructure. But Kashmiris build thick, insulated houses. Japan on the other hand, I just don't understand. They have the infrastructure, technology, and financial means, and they just prefer to suffer in the winter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695885479879152724.post-31014317949329178942010-12-29T13:38:49.737+09:002010-12-29T13:38:49.737+09:00i got a lot of information from ur article. i rece...i got a lot of information from ur article. i recently got a osaka fan gas heater 3000 (43-659)and i could not fully operate it because <br />of japanese language written on it . could u help me in this regard. i eill really be very thankful to u.abdul maajid rawalpindi pakistan maajidg@yahoo.comABDUL MAAJIDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695885479879152724.post-73273890950969925822010-11-08T07:02:53.195+09:002010-11-08T07:02:53.195+09:00I want one of those heater.

My hubby prefers to communicate with me in English, and that is the reason why I am still not that fluent in Japanese after all these years.<BR/>It is rather simple and easy to apply for internet connection here, and I am sure your husband can get one without any problem. <BR/>Best wishes.Manisha Kundu-Nagatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13277146210049986417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695885479879152724.post-39923916951635272922009-03-16T15:44:00.000+09:002009-03-16T15:44:00.000+09:00thank you so much for answering my question..do yo...thank you so much for answering my question..do you know how to speak their language? and another favor...is it hard to have an internet connection there? because its very hard to communicate with my husband since he does not have an internet connection..and he's planning to apply for one.<BR/><BR/>i appreciate you answering my questions.. thank you so much for sharing! god bless you..more power..loricutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16827107791598670337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695885479879152724.post-40357892910103563982009-03-15T16:43:00.000+09:002009-03-15T16:43:00.000+09:00Thanks loricute for your comment.

It is indeed cold here in Akita prefecture. <BR/>Well, electricity is required just to operate the fan heater, and only about 200 Yen per month is the electricity bill. But we need to buy kerosene about four times in a month(18 liters jerrycan) which costs about 4500 Yen. So overall, not that expensive.Manisha Kundu-Nagatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13277146210049986417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695885479879152724.post-77900426119600515732009-03-14T03:22:00.000+09:002009-03-14T03:22:00.000+09:00hi, my husband is also there..like you he said the...hi, my husband is also there..like you he said the temperature is way too cold..he also came from a tropical country..i just have a question..how much does the electric bill cost?loricutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16827107791598670337noreply@blogger.com
