暖气机 (heaters)

It is bloody freezing in China and I am disappointed that a search on ChinesePod for a  lesson on 'heaters' yielded nothing.  I am going out too buy 电油机，增湿器，电毯子， 睡衣裤，长袖的内衣，等等，without ChinesePod help.  Attitudes on these things are interesting; different to what i am used to.  Many people have heard about the 'no heating south of the Yangtze' convention but there are many other cultural differences between East and West on the subject of heating.  Even the geography/ meteorology seems to work according to different physical laws!   Anyway, snow threatens in the tropical Spring City and I am headed to a big furniture store before I develop chillblains.
