I’ve only spent one winter here in Taipei, but I tend to agree with him on that. It never actually gets cold, just cool, and at least it’s not oppressively hot. The bigger difference for me is that year round in Singapore you can go outside and exercise in the morning (8-10am) and it isn’t oppressively hot yet. Because Taiwan keeps a weird time system, it’s already sweltering hot by 8am, especially in the extended summer. Also, because of the weird time system, the sun goes down so early that outside exercise after work is very hard here for most of the year, whereas it is pretty easy in Singapore.
