I recently went on a trip for school.
It was across the ocean to a brand new country.
I was not familiar with the language or the social norms. I was not used to how they live their life on a daily basis. Everything was so different. Even the hotel we stayed in was a little different. I noticed this mostly with the thermostat they had in the bedroom of the hotel. This thermostat was in degrees celsius and not in degrees fahrenheit like I had been sued too. I had no idea what temperatures would be good to cool a room and which ones would be good to heat a room. I knew my desired temperature for both at home. I needed to find a way to find the equivalent. I actually had to look up a calculation. When I figured out my preferred setting in degrees celsius, I could change the thermostat. However, we let it run and it was not feeling like I had felt at home. I really had to change it around a couple of times to figure it out. I moved the temperature up 2 degree and then down 2 degrees. Eventually I had found a preferred temperature right on the thermostat. IT was really strange that the temperature did not equal the first time. The HVAc system could be a little older. Maybe it was not running as well and so the temperature settings were a little different. The next time you choose to go to a different country be aware of this. Not everything is universal and you may need to figure out the thermostat.
