Air conditioning; or as Hong Kongers call it: aircon.
Pros:
• Dehumidifies.
• Keeps the room a consistent, comfortable temperature.
• Makes it much easier to tolerate the searing, sticky summer season.
Cons:
• Horrendous power hog.
• Gets moldy when not in use and then stinks.
• Gives cockroaches a handy highway into the house.
The cons have it, and now the diminutive has an extra shade of meaning.
