Haha, oh god, air conditioning, i had no idea that they exist in other places than a car until two or three years ago! And even if you have them (see: my workplace) most of the time they do not work. 50% of this years summer i had to work with a broken air conditioning. We had some electronics technician coming the other day and they said they would fix it but nothing ever happened. Even the one of the mall does somehow not work properly. In the summer it's always too hot and in the winter it's horribly airless. It's so annoying! The worst definitely happened to the book store next to us: Their air con did not work for the WHOLE SUMMER. And this years summer was short but SO intense. OH AND DO NOT GET ME STARTED ABOUT AIR CONDITIONING IN BUSSES OR TRAINS! There were a few incidents about air cons in ICEs that broke and passagers passed out because of the heat. Also the busses here do not have air con (or at least i never drove with one who had it (but i take the bus a lot so i think they don't have it)) and what's even more ridiculous: Sometimes even the windows are locked! And the busses to Uni are so full and it's always sticky and horrible and i hate summer in Germany. I find it extremely hard to stay cool in my summer.
Btw i loved reading those! I love reading your thoughts and i always love it when you write about your culture and how you grew up. I once had a lecture at Uni called 'Moonlight and Magnolias: Literatures of the American South', sadly i could only be present for the first two sessions because of a other lecture but i found it very interesting. My lecturer is actually from Austria and in the first session she talked a bit about the accent and Gone with the Wind and why it's called 'Moonlight and Magnolias' and the second one was by a guest lecturer who told us a bit about the term 'rednecks' and the music of the South. I still have all the handouts and power points of the course.
AND about the dancing and sports: I have the same problem. I danced 'Gardetanze' (there is no english term for it sadly) as a child and some Jazz-dance when i was a teenager and played Volleyball (a GREAT sport! SO FUN!). Now i'd love to dance again but i don't have the time and need to stay flexible for my job. What i do is: I dance to videos. Youtube is great. And i teach myself K-POP dances, sometimes i dance with my sister (when she feels 'uncool' enough omg)I actually bought a mirror just for the dancing so that i can watch my movements. I also had several people recommanding me her: https://www.youtube.com/user/blogilates?feature=g-subs-u (Oh yes, and hi! If you don't know it's me Kris! I created the account a few weeks ago because i wanted to comment un-anon on Hye Mi's Hosoo fic aaand because it want to write more fic comments.)
