#7:Convinience Store
Do you like convinience store? I really love it because you can get anything within that small store. Someone says "コンビニ food" is halmful, but I actually don't have time to care about it because of the convinience.
When I travel overseas, I often see Japanese convinience stores like seven-eleven or Family-mart. However, things which are sold there are so different in country to country. It seems that convinience store is localized. So, it can be said that convinience store is one of the culture.
Today I want to show about Convinience Store in Taipei. In Taipei, there are a lot of seven-eleven and Familly-mart. In this picture, you can see seven-eleven next to Family-mart.
There is big space like cafe within a convinience store. Convinience store in Tokyo(Japan) also has a kind of "eat-in space", but this is far bigger than it.
Surprisingly, there is おでん（Japanese traditional food）in Taipei's convinience store. And おでん is not supposed to be limited food in Kanto area., but it is called "関東煮" which means simmered dishes in Kanto area. I don't know why at all.
This isTaiwanese local convinience store "Hi-Life". I have never seen it.
