Why, why, whyyyy do the Japanese not understand the concept of central heating?

It's freezing, but not a single building here has any kind of heating. It's ridiculous

I do have an air con, which can heat up my room if I really need it to, but of course it costs a fortune to run, so I just can't afford to. And I have to keep my coat on in the university library, because it doesn't even have air con.

On the plus side, I discovered a pretty nice ramen place just across the road from where I live. Eating there warmed me up pretty nicely, and it was so cheap

...Yeah, I can't decide whether I love this country or hate it.
