Genius Chinese college students use indoor inflatable pools to beat summer heat

I thought summers in America were hot, until I moved to Asia and learned firsthand what a hot summer is really like. In Japan, China and other parts of East Asia, the summer can be brutal to the point that people flock to public pools by the thousands, risking other people’s disgusting mud butt and possible drowning by crowd crush just to enjoy a few moments in the tepid water.

But a number of enterprising Chinese college students have apparently figured out a genius workaround: Just put a pool in your own dorm room.

This way, you don’t have to fight the crowds of public pools – which are bad in most Asian countries but a special kind of hell in China – and you don’t even need to leave your house to enjoy the cooling effects of sitting in a poolfull of water, even if it happens to probably be lukewarm.

Some of the kids employing this method seem to be a little too comfortable with their invention, even going so far as using electronics in their tiny home pools, although compared to the bizarre dorm room inventions of American college students, we’d say this is probably on the safer side.
