Convenience 7.26



So far, I've learned a few things about Taiwan and how it's different than Korea. First of all, Taiwanese people don't like to be called Chinese but they're not defensive about it. Compared to Koreans they're not loud or noisy most of the time. They are very kind as well, not that Korean people aren't. The habits I think that differ are that the drinking culture, staying up late and usually being loud. Koreans are like this, Taiwanese not so much.
One thing that is really crazy but also convenient is the amount of 7-11s and Family marts everywhere! If I were to guess, I would say there is a 7-11 every 3 minutes, on almost every corner!
Last night, I walked down the street to the market near my place. I had my first watermelon juice iced drink. Refreshing it was and it surprisingly kept me cool for a while! Here are some more pictures from the market.

Lots of different types of food at the markets in Taiwan. Can you guess what those are above?
