OTI do not know anyone who considers 75F too hot, Well here's your first.. and it depends.. I can't sleep well when it's over 70F.. Have to have the window open or a fan blowing on me.. (or the pricey AC).. I prefer 65 to 70, but higher temps if there is a fresh breeze (preferably ocean.. :0) My belief is that if you're too cold, you can always add another layer.. But if you're too hot, you can only take off so much and not get arrested.. Hawk

most buildings are cooled between 68 and 75 degrees, which is about 20C to 24C If you say so. I promise to check the temperature in several places the next time I am in the US. it is very difficult to get cold drinks in Paris Very true :-) Les carafes d'eaux, in particular, are always at more or less room temperature, and they are almost always tap water. The French don't believe in glacons :-) And yet there is plenty of ice to chill a bottle of Pouilly Fuisse' <g>. Of course. One should have priorities in life :-) In America, many dinners are three courses, and the bulk of the food is the entree That is another interesting term - entree in French is the first course, with which you enter the dinner. I was surprised the first time I saw the term entree used as main course in America...
