鴉河雛(Karasugawa)@PieFed

I basically never open my windows. This winter, I don’t think I opened them at all except maybe during a big cleaning day.

In Japan, ventilation is required by law, and most modern houses are equipped with a 24-hour ventilation system. Because of that, we don’t really need to open the windows to get fresh air — the system continuously circulates air for us.

At the same time, it doesn’t make the house noticeably colder in winter or hotter in summer. The air also goes through filters, which is especially nice during pollen season.

So I don’t really feel suffocated even with the windows closed, since the air is still being exchanged constantly.

I believe I can touch type properly on a QWERTY layout.

In Japanese, we have to convert kana into kanji as we type, so I sometimes make mistakes during the conversion stage.

I occasionally play a typing game called Sushi-Da for practice.
