A/C Love

The past few days the air condition at home had been acting up so I called up the landlord and he sent a guy over to fix things. When the guy came over he had to turn off the AC to fix it and it stayed off for 2 hours until he was done. By the time he had finished the house had turned into a sauna. How did people live in Kuwait before AC? Once the guy had finished he turned on the AC and the house cooled down again. Now its nice and chilly plus the guy is still coming back tomorrow to do a super cleaning.
