Shops

One of the first things that you must learn here is where is the nearest convenience store. Shops that apparently never close —I saw many open even for Chinese New Year— where you can go to buy anything to eat, or to drink, or reading material (if you can read it), or for other small personal needs, at any time.

There are different shop chains, the best known is surely 7-Eleven

part of a Taiwanese economical empire. But there are other, like Family Mart

or OK Mart

etc. You can trust that there will be at least one, open, anywhere you go.
