I wish! In Asia, single-pane/single-glazed is pretty much the standard. Even in 3600 usd/month apartments in Hong Kong, it's very unlikely you'll see double glazing. It drives me up the wall, winters are not long and it doesn't get that cold but there's a few days a year when the weather drops to around 12 degrees celcius within my apartment (so 54 degrees Fahrenheit) and as someone from colder climes that's used to central heating, I'll say that I much prefer a cold winter with a warm home than a mild winter with a super cold home. I've seen the same when I lived in Japan... Additionally due to the poor insulation, you get to hear the noise outside quite a bit which I personally hate.
