Living in a foreign country with a complete different state than what we were used to is not easy. First, is the water, back home we bathe with cool water to cool down our body heat. Here, the water needs to be heated before we could plunge ourselves in a bathtub or the shower. Washing the dishes manually is not also possible with cold water as we could suffer from frostbites. The issue with boiling water and heating the house is a complete opposite to ours where we are using air conditioners and fans just to keep our houses’ temperature in an acceptable state. Anyway, the most shocking difference is the bills. If I would have to convert the expenses we accrue here, the people back home would not believe it. What we spent here for our monthly bills could feed a family for a year. That is how hard it is.
I have been planning to reduce our bills by at least 50%. We heat the water for 4-6 hours a day and that is unbelievable. I understand that we need to because it is winter. Nevertheless, this rate compared to our previous bills is way 100% higher. We have a concern with our water tank, as I feel that it does not hold hot water for long, at least 2-3 hours. It cools down easily and the landlord has not done something about it. If would have a choice, I will choose a tankless water heater. The big tank that we have here does not only take a big space, it also needs replacement and it looks ugly.
i’m sure this misery will be over soon ritch..everything has it’s end. di ba, mamalhin man mo soon dai, choose the one that really gives the best because u deserve it.
