South Korea can get pretty cold in the winter months. With temperatures around -8 degrees outside, it can be very difficult to keep a room warm. This is especially true this year in South Korea. Six of the country’s 23 nuclear reactors¹ have been shut down recently. As a result, heating costs have soared and there have been several power blackouts as well.

 

But just in time, someone has come up with an ingenious idea for keeping warm while saving money. All over South Korea people have started using tents indoors. The idea is really catching² on. Tents are flying off the shelves. In fact, tent manufactures cannot make them fast enough to keep up with orders.

 

The indoor tents can make a big difference. Even though the room temperature is a chilly³ 18 degrees, inside a tent it is a warm 26 degrees. People are even putting them on top of their beds and sleeping in them. Some tent users claim that they have cut their heating costs in half using indoor tents.

 

What do you think? Are you ready to put up a tent at home?
