Winter in Korea: Heated Floors

I must say that the idea of heated floors is quite an amazing invention.  Since heat rises, it keeps the room warm AND keeps your feet warm (a problem I would always have in the states).

The down side: You don't have it in every room.  You'll have it in one room of your apartment, but then either need a room heater or something to keep warm in the other rooms of your apartment.

Also, in some schools Koreans will tend to leave windows open during the winter (why?  I have yet to come to the reasoning... but I have learned Korean logic is very different).  So you may be warm when you walk into the classrooms, but freeze whenever you walk in the hallway or go to the restroom.
