You Chinese If You Want Face-South House

You Chinese if you want face-south house. Yep... every time you live somewhere, the main entrance has to face south.

Funnily enough, even Chinese people in North America want their house to face south. On the other hand, locals want their houses to face east, so that the sun is over their backyard in the evening for BBQ fun.

What Chinese people don't realize, however, is that there is no Monsoon in North America, thus negating the need for your house to face south. Moreover, houses in North America don't have front courtyards like in China... which means that even if there was Monsoon here, facing south wouldn't do you any good. Even moreover is the fact that windows at the rear of North American houses are always HUGE... whereas in China they are small in order to lessen the effects of the cold winds blowing down from the Northern Steppe. Also... in North America, the winds blow east-west...
