What temperature counts as “cold” in Taiwan? 🧣 In this episode, Mindy talks about how Taiwanese people define “cold” — and why locals start wearing puffy jackets and using hand warmers as soon as the temperature drops below 20°C! You’ll also learn why Taiwan’s humid winters can feel even colder than snowy weather in Japan or Korea, and how people stay warm with heaters, “little suns,” and hot pot nights.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
– How “cold” feels different in a tropical, humid climate
– Common winter habits and phrases you’ll hear in Taiwan
– Why Taiwanese people say they’re afraid of wet cold, not dry cold
