Why people convert Edmonton to Taipei time

Scheduling a call from Edmonton to Taipei: a 10:00 AM start in Edmonton lands at 12:00 AM in Taipei the next day, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Handling a +14h gap: Edmonton and Taipei have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in Taipei is 11:00 PM in Edmonton.
Booking travel or deliveries: tracking Taipei local time against Edmonton keeps pickup windows and arrival estimates honest across the +14h offset.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM MDT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +14h gap is not.
With a +14h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Edmonton takes the early slot, the next week Taipei does.
