Luoyang Tour - Day 1 Regarding the air cons, someone mentioned that "cycle and carriage" is not a maker of aircons, but rather a car dealer. Indeed, they are the official dealer for mercedes and kia in Singapore. The aircons are more probably made by local firm "carrier". These aircon "compressors" are a common sight in Singapore and HongKong, as well as their smaller cousins, "window" or "casement" aircon units. Private apartments and houses usually have a small nook that is not usually seen from outside unless you try and look at it, and so you put the compressors there. However, government housing, which makes up about 70-80% of housing here, have all the compressors in full view with no steel casing as aircon is actually an optional accessorylike water heater, though it is ordered by a large majority(>90%) of flat buyers. Ugly? Maybe. However, I'm used to it and often go around blocks of older flats looking for the aircon units. |
