Hahah, Leo is always around - no wonder you don't see it.
I wonder about that - not having AC or heating in a country where the summer is humid and hot and the winter is cold. It does save a lot of energy though, which is important for the current state of our planet.
Tatami rooms are so cool! I love things with a long history and cultural ties. I hear Japanese houses in the cities tend not to have tatami rooms anymore. Newly built houses sometimes may have one traditional room for welcoming guests. It'd be a shame to see them disappear.
Keep up the good work, Laura. You just got to Japan. Once word gets around, I'm sure you'll get students. Thanks for explaining the origin of Peaks. Let's all speak at Peaks!
