I am away in Italy at the moment and this is all people talk about in relation to my kids and themselves.
It's like 35 degrees every day and still 30 at night and yet, apparently they need to wear a vest.
I am staying with some of my H's relatives, but there have also been friends visiting who are just horrified at the air conditioning being on 22 degrees. Apparently it's like being at the North Pole. They put their aircon on 27 and on low.
We went to a shopping centres and I was sweating as the air con was on so little.
I know in places like the states and Dubai, maybe occasionally it can get a bit chilly inside, but I would prefer that.
Apparently we are all going to get really really sick from the cold air. Are there more sick people in places that use air con more ? I doubt it.
My kids should also wear socks in the house as there are tiles on the floor and they'll get sick from walking barefoot.
If we are ever outside at night ( at 30 degrees ) and a tiny bit of wind blows, they all start freaking out and getting a cardigan for their shoulders, so they don't get sick.
I find it totally OTT and I am genuinely wondering if Italians get sick less because of these habits ? They seem obsessed with getting a chill.
