For the past months, I’ve been waking up at around 3 in the morning because of the cold. It’s been unusually cold lately and I’m having trouble dealing with it. But because we’re not in a temperate country, it would be very awkward installing heaters in the house.

My cousin, on the other hand, lives in Canada. There, they have no problems getting one. In fact, a few weeks ago, he emailed me about his heater hunting expedition around the place. He said he was specifically looking for kerosene shop heaters for his store and he bought one through the internet.

I wish I could do the same here. Unfortunately, if I did, shipping alone would cover for more than double the price of the device. So for now, I guess we’ll just have to settle for thick blankets.
