Anybody have experience or opinions about living in a bungalow, i.e. a single level “tin can”?
I am attracted to these but am afraid they will be too damn hot. I know some have a sort of double roof to deflect and/or absorb the heat, and some have high roofs maybe for heat to escape to?, but most do not have these possible attributes. Also many are less than nice- very little natural light (probably helps keep the temp. down), raw concrete floors and ramshackle kitchens. But on the other hand some do have some love given to them and can be somewhat charming.
Anyways just wondering about other’s experiences and opinions.
Which part of Taiwan? For me, the humidity levels in the north would lead me to conclude that ground floor living is a bad idea. Perhaps other parts of the island would not face this trouble, but maybe would involve other adventures including life forms of various kinds–including snakes–making themselves at home in your home!
I live in a wonderful bungalow on top of a building and love it. Lots of natural light, big front yard with plenty of space for BBQ, lounge chairs, still and gardening. Was a bit run down when I rented it, but with a bit of paint and some DIY adjustments, the place is perfect. And you still get all the convenience of living in the centre of the city!
