Mine too. I'm from Michigan and my wife is from Hong Kong. In HK they don't have heating at all, and they generally keep the windows open all the time because it's so humid. It's usually pretty mild in the winter, but they have "cold snaps" where it might only be 12C; and if it's 12C outside, it's 12C inside. They just put on more clothes. So in a reversal of the stereotypes, she's usually the one wanting to turn the thermostat down, and I'm the one wanting to turn the thermostat up.
My old Cantonese teacher from HK told me he used to play Theme Hospital growing up, but he didn't understand why or how to stop the patients complaining about/dying from the cold. He didn't realise you need to build radiators!
