Recently I moved into a new flat in the Wynberg area; I have never lived in a place as cold as this flat is. Some days I can hardly sit at the desk to do assignments because it feels like my fingers will freeze and break. I have been using more than one pair of socks and the hot water bottle has been a good friend. Winter jackets and gloves are being used inside the house often. Inside the flat it is actually colder than outside!
Today I found out the reason for all that cold. Apparently there is a river running underneath the building! Now it actually makes a lot of sense since there is a little river/pond garden like area in the middle of the building. I just always thought that it was part of the landscaping, not an actual river.
Well, I guess we learn something new every day, now “check if there is a river running underneath the building” has made it to my list of “house search criteria”.
Hi! We would like to ask your permission to reprint the photo of an igloo that was posted on this webpage. The image will be included in a grade school textbook that will be distributed in the Philippines. Thank you.
