grandparents and many U.S. retirees (sun birds) prefer warm. Grandpa said that he was not picky about food or weather. I think aging has made him less tolerant and more “picky”.

In winters, they (either come to Singapore or) prefer staying indoor. They felt very confined and uncomfortable but that’s the lesser of two evils — going out is too risky, as catching the cold is serious.

My wife hates cold weather.

As I get older over the recent years (2017-2019), I have started experiencing a desire for warmer climate like SG / MYS.

Florida has an industry built over decades.

Arizona is another sun bird state.
